The hose that is. 50 feet of hose, only had about 4 foot of scraps left over. Increased the size of the vent hose to 1 inch and put in a new vent. Drilled a new hole in my deck on Saturday and put in a pump out fitting too. Deck was balsa cored, so instead of driving home I went & bought a new batch of CPES and made sure the exposed core was well sealed. Boat had a TDX treatment system before, and lived the last 28 years without a deck pumpout. Took awhile to get the deck plate in given the core concerns, then had to drill another hole in a bulkhead and feed that !#!$rb2@gr5t hose inch by inch. New Seals in the vacuflush pumps and ball seals in the heads.

I now have, drum roll please, a two thousand dollar 15 gallon holding tank. But, at least now I don't have to walk all the way up the dock just to pee. Next phase of the project is figuring out the best way to fish all the wires so I can actually activate the treatment side of the system (holdntreat).

So, with that I just wanted to breathe a large sigh of relief. No more hose. Wiring I can deal with.

<SIGH> :)
 
Wow, that sounds like quite a job. I just switched out my Electro Scan (now for sale here on BE) with a Purasan last week. Both using Hold 'n Treat. Which MSD did you get for your system? Did you buy the all in one Hold 'n Treat? I used my existing 20 gallon tank.
 
I bought the all in one pursan unit with the 15 gal tank.
 
I have the Elegance with the 4 button deluxe controller, the Hold-N-Treat, a newer 36 gallon poly holding tank, a Raritan tank monitor system and the PuraSan. If you have any questions about the wiring I really can help. In fact I am on the boat for the next 4 days Ghost so ask away if needed. I would be more than happy to help. I only have one head but I guess all hoses, pumpout, 2 fresh air hoses for cross ventilation of the holding tank with filters, the transfer pump to get the holding tank to the PuraSan and the head to the holding tank then the PuraSan to a thru hull for discharge I could also have put close to 50 feet overall probably 25 feet of 1.5". I would recommend that you have at least #6 power wiring from the main panel and that depends on round trip length to the power source. We love our system it has worked flawless this entire season.
