We just bought a 1990 Hinter 30 from its original owner. The head system appears to be origianl factory hardware with the composite holding tank in the aft locker. Is there an economical way to purge the holding tank of the formaldehyde based tank treatment the PO used and allow the use of a more environmental friendly enzyme base treatment? If not, is there a reasonable compromise product available? Thanks! (Hey Clark. When you get all the leg work done on your bimini please come and talk to me!)

Pump out...fill with water...pump out...fill again

Repeat until you only see clear water in the pumpout sight tube. Put the water into the tank through the deck pumpout fitting...do NOT use the same hose used to fill your water tank. Odorlos http://www.odorlos.com and Raritan K.O. http://www.raritaneng.com/products/cleaning_maintenance/index.html are the best non-chemical products...far more effective than enzymes and just as environmenally friendly. The link below provides a lot useful information about how to operate and maintain a trouble-free and odor free system.
