Stumped. Vent line (without filter) is clear, no visible leakage, hot rag test on all hoses pass the smell test (did replace one hose yesterday that did not...someone had used an exhaust hose on one short connection). Also laid hot rags on tank and they passed the test as well. Put hot rags on all tank connections too and they passed. But when flush either head, a waft of odor becomes very noticeable. Odor is not near either vacu-flush unit either...it is definitely around the holding tank area.
Seems like any "back pressure" created would go out the clear vent line. Odor dissipates (but does not go away) after a few minutes but with next flush is right back.
Ideas for further investigation? Thanks
