Head Odor "Cliff Notes"
Do check out the Head Mistress forum for all the "stinky" details. But here is a short list of possible causesfixes I thought might still be appropriate for this forum. Backflow from the holding tank getting into the head making it smelly - Get new Joker valve. Leaking effluent causing smell - find & fix leak (doesn't take much more than a few drips from a hose fitting to smell the place up... Old hoses permeate the smell - lay warm wet cloth on sanitation hose for a few minutes, then remove & (yuk) smell. If the cloth stinks, replace hoses. Raw water intake stink - sometimes the "clean" incomming water is the problem, see if you can keep fresh water/vinegar in the intake plumbing (see head mistress for how to do this). Not enough venting to the holding tank - anarobic critters (the ones that smell) can take over the breakdown of the waste in your tank. Add aerobic critters (see refrenced forum for "K.O") and add vent, or in leiu of venting, add Odorloss. This doesn't cure world hunger, but sometimes fixing a smelly head seems like it...Just be glad you don't live in florida...
