Holding Tank Cleaning Tip

If possible, perform the following steps near the end of each trip to help clean and flush the holding tank:
1. Several miles from the end of each trip, stop at a pump-out station with a non-potable water source.
2. Pump-out the holding tank.
3. Fill the holding tank 1/2 full of fresh non-potable water. NOTE: Never use a potable (drinkable) water source
to perform this step.
4. Get back underway. The agitation while cruising home will help clean the tank.
5. Upon reaching your destination, stop at another pump-out station and empty and flush out the holding tank, and
add marine holding tank deodorizer.
