Holding Tank Filter - Update and Follow Up

Since it has been a full boating season for the Holding Tank Filter Modification and Installation done back in March, I decided to follow up with what I found when I checked it at the end of season. The "Fluid Trap" had absolutely nothing in it and the filter itself was fine. That means that the elbow and new hose orientation worked and the fluid trap is not really necessary if you can do that. Otherwise, I'd put in the fluid trap.

And then I decided to check the filter itself. Not bad at all. But I decided to replace the charcoal anyway since I had it apart.

What a piece of Cake!

An easy job that makes sense and saves $80 a year in replacement filter cartridges.
