I have read many of the black water tank posts but didn't see any reference to aeration via bubbler. Does anyone have any experience - good or bad - w/ bubbling their holding tank?
I understand and absolutely agree w/ HeadMistress's comments - on a previous Carver Riviera w/ a 40 gal holding tank I read the book and successfully eliminated foul odors by adding a second - short & straight - vent line. My current Mainship 34 Trawler provides many challenges to doing anything similar and I'm convinced the problem is insufficient air. The tank is difficult to get to and runs would be longer than desired even if I could get another vent attached.
I've seen commercial bubbler systems but thinking about building one myself to try.
I have an unused 12v circuit and plugged tank discharge from a previously removed macerator pump. Figured it wouldn't be difficult to install a bubbler tube through a ball valve ( so tube could be removed and valve closed if it needed any maintenance) and wire up a pump / timer.
Wondering if anyone has tried this or similar???
Thanks
