Do all rapid-dissolving tissues really
work?
The ability for toilet tissues to break apart quickly
can vary widely from brand to brand. SeaLand Rapid-Dissolving
Toilet Tissues, available in single-ply and double-ply
rolls, are routinely tested for rapid-dissolving properties.
Both styles are made from 100% recycled paper and are biodegradable
– resulting in minimal environmental impact as well as outstanding
performance.
Do your own “tissue test.” Put one square of tissue
in a glass of water. Slosh it around for five seconds. If
the tissue breaks up into many pieces, it will likely work
in your marine toilet system. If not, it could cause clogs
in discharge lines or “ball up” in holding tanks. |

Holding Tank Deodorants
Effluent in the holding tank and connecting plumbing begins
to decompose immediately after entering the system.
Sewage decomposition can take place in two ways: aerobic
decomposition, bacteria uses free oxygen to digest waste
and produce carbon dioxide, water, nitrates, sulfates and
phosphates – compounds that do not have offensive odors.
In anaerobic decomposition, where no oxygen is present,
unstable, heavier-than-air, malodorous compounds are produced.
Why use holding tank deodorants?
Deodorants are designed either to inhibit the growth of
anaerobic bacteria and stop production of malodorous gases,
or to chemically lock onto molecules of malodorous gas and
prevent them from escaping. |

What types of deodorants are there?
Formaldehyde-based compounds – These are the
most effective odor-controlling agents. They are effective
over a wide range of temperatures and pH levels, and are
also effective in hard water conditions. When handled as
directed, the
liquid is safe – but the area should be as well ventilated
as possible during pouring. The fumes from spilled liquid
can irritate the eyes and respiratory tract, so care should
be taken in storage. Switching to a dry, granulated formula
would eliminate the potential for spills.
Discharging formaldehyde-treated effluent into a marine
environment should not be a problem if the product is used
and discharged properly. Formaldehyde is naturally present
in the environment as well as through man-made sources.
In water, it rapidly biodegrades, and does not accumulate
in aquatic organisms. It is also readily biodegradable in
soil, breaking down into water and carbon dioxide.
Preservatives
– Preservative compounds have the
advantage of low toxicity to humans and the environment,
and the disadvantage of less effectiveness and higher
cost than typical formaldehyde deodorants.
Quaternary ammonium chloride (QAC) compounds
– While QAC’s may not have the pungent odor of formaldehyde-based
formulas, they are not as effective in hard or salt water.
QAC’s also can lose effectiveness after repeated emptying
of the holding tank without thorough cleaning after each
pump-out.
 Enzymes
– Enzymes are naturally formed as part of a cell’s
normal metabolism. Deodorants which use one or a combination
of enzymes control odor indirectly by accelerating the digestion
of the organic material in the effluent. The main advantage
of enzyme-based deodorants is that they are believed to
be nontoxic to humans and the marine environment.
Enzymes are generally effective only in a narrow range of
temperatures and pH levels. Like QAC’s, they also require
a very clean tank to begin, and residuals of other deodorants
must be removed. Enzymes also require an extremely well-ventilated
holding tank to achieve maximum effectiveness. Some suppliers
of enzyme deodorants do not recommend them for recirculating
or portable toilets. For best odor control, regardless of
which deodorant is used, the waste holding tank should be
thoroughly cleaned at least once each season, depending
on use.
How are SeaLand deodorants formulated?
SeaLand® Holding Tank Deodorant (blue liquid) is a formaldehyde-based
product. Our most powerful formula, it controls odors instantly,
and keeps working in the most extreme temperature ranges
– from arctic cold to steaming hot. Formaldehyde-based deodorants
are available in liquid and
granulated formulas.
SeaLand® Environment-Friendly Holding Tank Deodorant
(green liquid) is a preservative-based
deodorant and cleaner that provides a highly effective,
formaldehyde-free alternative. It uses two other naturally
occurring ingredients to broaden its range of effectiveness.

How much deodorant should I use?
In a 40-gallon holding tank, use 8 oz. (237 ml) of either
liquid deodorant. With SeaLand vitreous china toilets, open
flush ball and pour slowly into sanitation system without
splashing. After pouring deodorant, close flush ball and
allow water to enter toilet bowl. For VacuFlush systems,
flush toilet once to move deodorant all the way to holding
tank. Remember, bacterial activity doubles for every 12.2°F
(10°C) increase. In high-temperature climates, increase
the deodorant dosage accordingly.
Can I add other chemicals to the holding tank?
Never
mix chemical compounds, even if they are household products.
Never mix our holding tank deodorants with toilet bowl cleaners
containing hydrochloric acid. Never mix ammonia with chlorine
bleach. The chemical reactions could be harmful either to
you or the sanitation system.
Most marine toilets flush with very little water (as little
as one pint) as compared to a 1.6-gallon or 3.5-gallon or
5-gallon toilet in most homes. And many household toilet
tissues contain adhesives (for bonding paper fibers together)
that may break up well in household systems, but can quickly
clog up a low-water-volume marine system. |

To help avoid accidental spills or leaks of liquid deodorants,
keep these products in a separate plastic storage bin. Do
not store them in lockers with other equipment that could
shift and cause damage to bottles.
If a spill or leak
occurs...
For formaldehyde-based deodorant leaks, immediately
ventilate the area. Open doors, windows, hatches, use fans
or anything to move extra fresh air into the space. When
cleaning spill, work in short periods (15 minutes or less).
If needed, respirators with cartridge/filters should be
used. Cover spill with generous amount of dry absorbent
material such as baking soda. Allow material to soak up
as much as possible, then sweep. Dispose of residue in plastic
bag. If the spill travels into an inaccessible area,
mix a solution of one cup baking soda to one gallon warm
water and flood the entire area. Repeat several times to
dilute the residual liquid. Follow directions for
removing stains if needed.
For deodorant stains...
Resolve® carpet cleaner has
proven effective in cleaning stains left by liquid deodorant
spills. If not readily available, mix 1/4-cup color-safe
laundry bleach to one gallon cool water. Apply generously
to stained area and let stand. Blot area dry. Repeat until
stain is removed.
For holding tank effluent...
Wear protective gloves.
Blot area of the spill with paper towels. Disinfect the
area with the same procedure as for cleaning deodorant stains.
Residual urine odors can be removed by flooding the area
with one cup vinegar to one gallon warm water. Let stand
as long as possible and blot dry. When finished, wash hands
with soap and hot water.
