Hi All, The concept that the LectraSan is a power hog may not have been thought out fully. Yes it uses about 40 amps to treat a flush, but only for a short time. The actual amp-hour usage is not large, only under 3 amp-hours per flush. Unless you have 20 people on board a single 50 watt solar panel would easily keep up with the power requirements. As for the need for a holding tank in no-discharge zones why not install a Y valve and lock it into the holding tank position until you are out of that area? Then either pump out like everybody else or run the effluent through the LectraSan and discharge overboard. Thus you have the best of both worlds, and no treatment chemicals to buy...
