    Installing a composting toilet.

    Right now I am looking at rigging a tiny pump, like a windshield washer pump, to pump the pee tank into my holding tank if I swap to a compost head. I figure that would end the annoyance of dumping it. It also would give the Annapolis pumpout boat something to do :rolleyes: back on topic -...

    Installing a composting toilet.

    https://www.wypr.org/show/maryland-morning/2016-01-11/zeroing-in-on-baltimores-sewage-crisis Last month, the Environmental Integrity Project issued a report, commissioned by the Abell Foundation, that finds that hundreds of millions of gallons of sewage are being pumped into Jones Falls and the...

    Installing a composting toilet.

    Sorry - this is a pet peeve of mine. Back in the day I sold and installed LectaSans. They were not cheap to buy nor to get installed, but they saved you from hauling tanks of sewage around and treated the waste quite well. The various busy-bodies got onto making them effectively useless by...

    Installing a composting toilet.

    Not really -when hundreds of thousands to tens of millions of gallons of raw sewage get dumped ever year, it is pretty annoying to have the state going nuts over 1 gallon. The town of Centreville had a big new development go in. The sewer plant operator asked why the flow rate through the plant...

    Installing a composting toilet.

    Clearly if I get a composting head I need to leave my little holding tank installed so that they can come pump it out every now and again :lol:

    Installing a composting toilet.

    I am still back and forth on this. If toilet paper has to get saved separately it will be a total non-starter with the Admiral. How bad does paper mess these up?

    Installing a composting toilet.

    Dumping urine over the side is illegal and always has been, but peeing over the side is not :rolleyes:

    Installing a composting toilet.

    They are legal in Annapolis and anywhere else, the guy was an idiot. He may have got confused with a Lecta-San treatment system, which are not legal in all parts of the Chesapeake. BTW, in Annapolis the pump-out boat comes to you.

    Installing a composting toilet.

    The marina told us all the culprit would be evicted if found. It was NASTY. We put in a bunch of ice-eaters to get rid of it which eventually worked.

    Installing a composting toilet.

    Dumping a holding tank is WAY nastier than a head flush. Please be kind picking a spot to do that!  My marina is basically a big swimming pool with a narrow channel leading out AND the pumpout is totally free, but someone was such a lazy ass they dumped a whole tank instead of moving to the fuel...
