Clogged waste tank vent
"JML" wrote in message ... Does anybody have a solution for a clogged waste tank vent? I have a vaccum head system that I think is clogged. How can I go about "unclogging" the waste vent I would first check and see if your vent hose has an inline filter installed. If so, that could possibly be the culprit. Replace, or better yet, simply eliminate the filter. Also check to make sure there are no kinks in the hose or sags that could allow water or waste to pool. Most blockages occur at the through-hull. Use a screwdriver to scrape out any debris in the through-hull. You could also try blasting water through the vent hose, but if you have an inline filter, it should be removed first. Once one of those charcoal filters get water in them, they are ruined. Most of the above has been paraphrased from Peggie Hall's terrific book, "Get Rid Of Boat Odors". Well worth the twenty bucks, and can be ordered directly from the publisher at www.seaworthy.com. |
