NO Smell holding tank!

My background hobby is mostly marine , sail & power.

The hassle of a stinking holding tank exists there as well as RV's.

Perhaps this will solve some folks problem?

Seems like a good idea that I was taking seriously until I noticed the name of the manufacturer....

Gross Mechanical Laboratories, Inc.

Try googling, you will see groco is one of the premium marine equipment mfg.

Most US mfg have long gone , others that once made premium products have cheapened their line to be near useless.

The use of an air pump in a holding tank is very common in the Euro charter fleet where the boats are side by side to a town wall.

At $5000 to $25,000 PER-DAY the charter guests do not want to smell the rest of the line ups holding tanks .


Its a simple system that might solve the stinking head hassles for some.

Another marine product that may help some folks is a tank measuring system to replace a failed factory system.

For me, it works. Quickly and long lasting.

It takes a bit of mixing but not a big hassle especially considering the results.

We use the NO2 for keeping ours clean and odors down. Its works good for us for 3+ years; easy and no mess; never notice any odor.
