To help meet the budget (cost was $520) I did not
add a filter to the breather pipeline (could add later if odours become a
problem) and I only fitted single hose-clamps at each connection (vs the
recommended two) … so hope I don't pay for this with a failure in the future.
After two seasons use, the verdict of the skipper
and mate is that it is one of the best improvements that we have made to our
H28. Tank capacity is fine, operation simple, and we have had no system
failures … so far. While some odours do occaisionally occur our approach
to minimise these is to use a marine toilet deoderiser / seal lubricator plus
fresh water to flush the tank when back at the marina. So it works well
… however we still do have a bucket on board … just in case.
