Thanks, great reminder to leave water in the tanks. I forgot since my last dump. Sometimes we need to fall back to basics. I will mention macerating toilets use more water than other types.

Excellent presentation. His light humor was spot on. Did I just say spot on when talking about sewage? Oh well...

Leaving a little water in the toilet bowl makes great sense. I think you just found a smell problem my wife objects too. Thanks
