Title: holding tank
Post by: Leo on February 25, 2008, 11:11:56 PM
I'm looking into installing a larger holding tank and replacing the head and all the hoses this spring. Anyone know of a larger tank that will fit in the same general location? Also is it worth keeping the type 1 MSD  or just go with an untreated system?

Thanks,

Lennie (aka Leo) and Carol

Didnt know if you would be interested. Have you considered a composting head instead of the traditional marine head?

No holding tank. No Y valve. No odors. No inspection worries for compliance.

I redid my system last year and put a small pass through holding tank in the standing locker in the  V berth area. I solved an odor problem but wonder for how long. I would be interested in anyone who has tried an AIR HEAD or other composting system.

When I first bought Ya Shure, I installed a 25 gal holding tank in the space between the forward water tank and the forward end of the V berth cutout. Ronco in California custom made it. I sent them the measurements and they made for less than $100 including fittings. It has worked perfectly with no smells. Last year I installed a AirHead composting head. It has been in for about 9 mo. I still have not had to empty it. The pee goes into a separate tank which I rigged to a pump and Y valve to go either to the holding tank or overboard. I am happy with it so far, however it sits a little high in the platform. The biggest hassle is to install the vent hose and fan. I ran it up behind the sink then behind the shower to the dorade vent. Not easy to do. That was the best I could figure out.
