    Thanks, already have one. It is being replaced by the holding tank. When I
    got it I was convinced it was the best long term, ecologically sound way to
    deal with waste. However I tire of the battle, and thus give in to
    bureaucracy - no discharge rules do not allow for treated waste.

    Regards....Randy
