Black Water Tank Troubles Continue.

     As mentioned in an earlier post we developed a leak in the black water tank, my husband repaired it and all is well, however the leak could come back, the tank could split again, it could happen in winter and then we couldn't fix it due to cold weather, all these worries sit in the back of our minds.  Well my husband has been worrying about this incident 24/7 as is his way, always worrying things through.  In all the worrying he has come up with a solution, we are going to install a marine toilet with a macerator attached.  The marine toilet needs a lot of  revamping to work in a

pressure water situation, as marine toilets use sea water and lets it in when needed.  So we have to add a solenoid valve, do a bunch of piping, block a pipe, remove the old toilet put in a new floor, bypass the tank, but make it accessible if needed.  Finding the parts necessary is going to be the biggest challenge.  We have been to Home Depot in Bellingham, Surrey and Langley and still have not found everything we need.  Hopefully the plumbing wholesaler will sell to us so we can get this throne installed and lay our black water tank worries to rest.  We are going to bypass the tank but have a valve to open if and when we travel with the 5th wheel.
     Well that is all the news from us right now, will let everyone know how this experience ends in our next blog
