Peggy, Is your book out yet?? In the meantime could you answer a question. Starting with a brand new boat, heads/tanks never used, moored on salt water, what would you do to preserve the aroma free environment? We can discharge into the sea when 3 miles + off shore and have a 356 with the typical storage tank/macerator and diverter to allow direct discharge. Would you arrange a system wherebye we could flush only with fresh water (water not a prob as we are on a pontoon with water available 24/7) or use salt water and then treat to prevent odour? Colin

Deal with the tank first...

Whether you flush with salt or fresh makes no difference in the tank, only in the head if sea water trapped in the head intake stagnates. So wait till you know whether you have that problem trying to fix it. Meanwhile, pour a couple of liters of fresh water down the toilet to rinse waste out of the toilet discharge hose at the end of each outing and concentrate on keeping the tank odor-free (preventing odor out the vent). Odorlos is a Norwegian import, so it should also be available in the UK...it's what I recommend for use in the tank. Rinse the tank after pumpout or dumping. That should keep things in good shape until you can buy my book...which should be out in a couple of months.
