I know that everyone on this forum probably gets sick and tired of boat odor questions but if you all could send me some quick advice I promise not to wear you out. Now I have said all that here is my problem...

I have a new holding tank and lines in my houseboat. It is a 70 gallon tank and it is used a lot. I have a family of four with 2 small children so we are constantly pumping out.

I used Kronin four my first year with pretty good luck but then started to get a smell on the outside of the boat when it was flushed. One.. the Kronin is expensive when you are pumping out once a week and also I am curios if Kronin has time to do what it needs to do when I have to empty the tank once a week.

I put the sweet tank system in my dads boat about 10 years ago and it works wonders. That is what I would like to do soon. But until then I need to make sure I am using the right treatment.

I regretfully began using a product called TST. It works ok but is nothing but a mask. On one of my older boats I had used Odorlos and it worked great!

I have found someone here locally that carries odorlos and I want to start using it again.

So here is the question... Do I have to go to extremes to clean out the TST that has been in the tank before I start using Odorlos again?

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

This newsgroup has been overtaken by agitors bent on destroying it.
Very little boating info can be gained.
I'd advise you try the rec.boats cruising site. You may get lucky and
run into Peggy Hall.

You mean the same Peggy Hall that Mr. Dr. Karen Grear of Catholic
University of America drove from the group years back with harassment
and stalking? Or that other poor woman he stalked to her marina,
photographed without her knowledge and used the photos here to harass
and smear her here till she left?? That Peggy Hall? Somewhat
hypocritical of you huh?
