Re: Has anyone use the big orange filter ??? (Holding tank smells)
Looking for a good black water holding tank filter. Any use the big orange? I've another type, but it's $100 a year to refill. The orange one looks easier and cheeper to refill.

It's $145.00. I use Sealand filters and they cost $75.00 and i get two years before i switch them out. Here is how to recharge the Sealand filters
First, purchase your pvc (male and female) (dwv) fittings for 2" pipe, primer & glue, and the carbon pellets (the pellets can be found at PetSmart for under $5 -900ml):
Then, cut the vent filter in half using a hack saw:
Empty the old pellets, and remove the sponge retainer pads by pushing them out from the ends. You can wash the pads and let them dry for reuse:
Remove 1" of the label (with a razor knife) where you will be gluing the new fittings on. Then install the fittings with the primer and glue. Let this cure before adding the new pellets:
Place the pads back into the ends and fill the two halves completely with new carbon pellets, and screw the two halves together using teflon tape:
Options:
You could use a no-hub fitting instead of the glue-on fittings that I used (that's the rubber tube with clamps).
You could replace the 30 ppi foam retaining pads with new foam: PetSmart has 30 ppi filter pads of the same thickness that you could cut them out of. However, I found the existing foam to be fine.
The next time all you will have to do is unscrew the two pieces and refill.
