Where is the waste pumped to?
A broker said it goes into the waste tank but I want to be certain of this. Disposing it directly into the Columbia River is illegal (and disgusting). If it goes into the waste tank, then what is the purpose of it? You toilet does flush into the tank. If you check your plumbing, you’ll see that the macerator is in the TANK discharge line…there’s a tee in that line…one side goes to the deck pumpout fitting…the other side goes to the macerator and then to a thru-hull. It’s used to dump the tank at sea. It’s most definitely illegal to flush a toilet directly overboard OR dump a tank in the Columbia River…to dump a tank legally you must be in open sea at least 3 miles from the nearest point on the whole US coastline. — Peggie ———- Peggie Hall Specializing in marine sanitation since 1987 Author “Get Rid of Boat Odors – A Guide To Marine Sanitation Systems and Other Sources of Aggravation and Odor” http://shop.sailboatowners.com/books/detail-books.htm?fno=0&sku=90&cat=1304 .
