Belt and suspenders on holding tank
I have what I think is overkill on my holding tank pumpout setup but I
want to check to see if anyone has experience saying it's a good idea. The holding tank has three pumpout lines. One to the deck for the shore-based vacuum pumpout, one to an electric macerator pump, and a third that goes to the manual bilge pump via a y-valve. The manual bilge pump can be directed to pump from the bilge or from the holding tank. I had a small leak in the third pumpout line where it connects to the y-valve. Rather than trouble-shoot why sewage is in that line, I'm inclined to simply remove it. I hate to see the manual bilge pump complicated with y-valves, it would take some extraordinary circumstances to make me want to run sewage through bilge pump lines that aren't designed for it, and I can carry a spare macerator pump. Has anyone been in circumstances where they found this setup valuable, or where they wished they had this setup? |
