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.
2.
3.
Several miles from the end of each trip, stop at a pump-out station with a non-potable water source.
Pump-out the holding tank.
Fill the holding tank 1/2 full of fresh non-potable water. NOTE: Never use a potable (drinkable) water source
to perform this step.

Get back underway. The agitation while cruising home will help clean the tank.
Empty, flush out, and add a marine holding tank deodorizer to the tank before docking or trailering your boat.
