I would also make sure you start with a
fairly clean tank, pump it out clean and flush again , then flush (a trade
secret I just ready about) Calgon (remember water softener and fabric softener)
water softener though the system into the tank and let it sit for awhile and
then pump that out. Apparent the property of the water softener breaks all the
harden stuff up and Calgon seems to work better then others. Another trade
secret is to use the liquid version of the Calgon fabric softener to mop down any
surfaces where diesel fuel has spilled, its told that it makes the smell
disappear. Unfortunately I have not found the liquid version yet since they
converted to sheets.

Freedom 32 bilge sump
Lola,
let me suggest two Raritan products for your
holding tank and head -
“C.P” (Cleans Potties) and “K.O.” (Kills Odors). They are a
little bit
expensive compared to some of the other products, but if you put them
in spray bottles, they last a good long time.
Both of these are non-toxic, bioenzymatic cleaners that do an EXCELLENT
job of controlling boat odor, not just in the head but also in the
bilge or anywhere else you have an odor that is hard to control.
On “Glory” we have an Electro-Scan treatment unit, so we can’t use
anything that has chlorine or formaldehyde in it, and KO and CP fit the
bill perfectly. Because of the lack of formaldehyde, these are also
much easier on pumpouts and shore-based sewer systems.
