Doug,

Check out this thread on Cruisersforum
. I
wrote up the build process for my custom holding tank here (username RMA).
I was in the same position. Fortunately, the previous owner had already
ripped out the head and all hoses/tank, so I was starting with a blank
slate. I went with Raritan

Sani Flex hose

for everything. It is probably the best sanitation hose on the market.
Butyl rubber with double helix reinforcement. It is very flexible and easy
to work with. 10 year warranty and it's only $9/ft at Defender.

Best of luck,

I'm in the process of replacing worst hoses. But trying to eliminate having to 
do this again. I had heard about vinager, but I'd also heard it didn't work. I 
trust the answers on this list more so than some other sources. Thanks Sent

Vinegar is your friend.
At this point you will be replacing them or beating the hell out of them on the 
dock, they sound too far gone for vinegar.

Good Morning All,


 


I am in the process of replacing my Stainless steel holding tank, due to holes 
that are a result of corrosion. This is requiring me to make one out of 
fiberglass. No one makes a tank this size and shape needed. This led me to 
checking the
 hoses for condition. I found that the hoses from the toilet to tank are 
severely clogged. Not sure how any fluid was getting through. Currently with 
the aft cabin torn apart my boat is unusable for anything, including living 
aboard, which I am.



 


My question is this. What does everyone use to help keep the lines clear? Do 
you pull them out every few years and clean them? Is there a chemical that I 
can flush down that will help keep them clean?


 


Thanks,


Doug

Good Morning All,

I am in the process of replacing my Stainless steel holding tank, due to holes 
that are a result of corrosion. This is requiring me to make one out of 
fiberglass. No one makes a tank this size and shape needed. This led me to 
checking the hoses for condition. I found that the hoses from the toilet to 
tank are severely clogged. Not sure how any fluid was getting through. 
Currently with the aft cabin torn apart my boat is unusable for anything, 
including living aboard, which I am.

My question is this. What does everyone use to help keep the lines clear? Do 
you pull them out every few years and clean them? Is there a chemical that I 
can flush down that will help keep them clean?

Thanks,
Doug
