Or as my wife refers to it...."Stench"
Over the winter spent quite a bit of time and money totally redoing the black water system. New macerator, PVC piping for some of the system and all new hoses for the rest, larger venting. All trying to eliminate an intermittent aroma (stench). Not always but usually the aroma surfaced after a little rough water.
All seemed to work fine...until we encountered some rough water. Aroma may last 10 minutes to 2 hours and seems to be coming up the pilothouse stairs from below. Investigation shows no leaks, nothing obvious.
I have read of activated charcoal filters on the vent hose but not sure why this would help. Can't imagine odor being forced back from vent line.
Any thoughts? Ideas?
Thanks
Ken
