bingo. one tea-tablespoon per gallon will do it. If your only using it for flushwater (like me) there's no reason to fill the water tank. 5-6 gallons will last a looong time.

Make sure your Wye valve is in the correct position or you won't be able to vac the system out. Red button in head operates the macerator pump for direct overboard operation. Out to sea only

I always shut off my water pump (breaker) when not in use, that way the toilet cant run and fill the holding tank by accident. The sink drains into the bilge.
