Re: lv-ab: Holding tank discharge pumps

    Why not go with the most expensive system, which seems to be the cheapest
    over the long run? It's certainly the most convenient.

    A Lectra/San MSD. About $800.

    No more finding pumpout stations or paying for pumpout; or going out 3 miles
    to dump, or like most folks must do - empty the holding tank in the marina
    or anchorage in the middle of the night. No worrying if the holding tank is
    nearly full, etc. Our only expense in a year and a half has been a gallon of
    muratic acid for the recommended yearly treatment, and some salt for use in
    fresh and brackish water.
