It doesn't really matter whether you're being "hider" or "boater sam" you just can't help yourself, can you? Just plain mean. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) is an individual who completes a professional certification program by Microsoft. Microsoft certifications train individuals on implementing Microsoft products into practical business environments. Maybe it was a spelling error and you meant TCP (trichlorophenylmethyliodosalicyl) ?

I had I switched immersion heater on so I could have a nice shower! Sorted.. Should have bought a boat with a proper pump out toilet, not one of those portable cesspits! ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard of anything which rots pipes but if you are suing any of the "green" (not necessarily in colour) additives you have to be careful with things like bleach which will kill any bacteria/enzymes which the additive uses.

If macerator, I was advised not to use anything. 5 years on and still no smell. If dump through various people have various preferences. When I had a dump through I found Silky RX worked reasonably well at keeping the smell under control for a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a storage tank , one day I might look in to it , not brave enough, no idea what kind it is. My first action will be to clean it out, given the track record of the cassette, which ended up in the skip, and a new Excellence by Thetford. What stuff should l add to the tank in the interim?

Bewildered Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 At last a solution to the boat toilet question, don't bother with cassette, pump out or composting toilets just import some of this from Australia does exactly what it says on the bottle. This does, however, come with its own set of problems, increased laudery bill etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
