Hi Joel, I think your idea makes sense. In fact my tank has two fittings and two PVC pipes that reach down to the deep section of a V-birth shaped holding tank. One for deck and one for overboard marcerator pump. No matter what sanitation hose you use, it will permeate smell. Mine were replaced in 2004, and I started getting complaints by 2009.
Sanitation is on my list this winter. We live aboard in the summer and the smell is driving my girlfriend crazy, especially if we don’t pump out weekly. I was told through numerous industry folks and liveaboards to replace sanitation hose with PVC. To keep PVC from cracking, use small section of sanitation hose at the ends of each run to absorb vibration.

Does it make sense to use a piece of PVC pipe from the bottom of the tank to a point above the tank so that the hose stays dry? -- Joel 301 541 8551
