We have an airhead composting toilet as well. We are quite pleased. Even though
the PO had it all pumped out, cleaned out, etc, we hated smelling the tank,
hoses, and stuff. And we had never even used them because we don't have a pump
out facility on our reservoir! The day we pulled the head and the tank out was
a happy one for me. And the Air Head is great!!

Subject: Stus-List smelly head and tank
I am converting to a composting toilet (Air Head) in a couple weeks. I don't
understand why more people on this list have not done the same. When I go into
someone else's boat I can almost always smell their holding
tank/hoses/whatever. I think people just get used to smelling it and don't
notice it after a while. I think they are all smelly.
Flushing with fresh water helps because it eliminates the odor of dying sea
creatures that would come in thru the seawater intake but it does not eliminate
all odors since the primary substance being flushed is still smelly.
A larger vent will probably help the most (even up to 1" in diameter).
We only have a 15-gallon holding tank which only lasts a few days at most. So,
frequent pump outs are necessary and it is becoming costly. The Air Head will
pay for itself in 2 to 4 years based on saving pump out costs alone.
