T&T: Holding Tank

[Pascal Gademer]

that works in theory, in the real world it doesnt'...

for instance, if your macerator is installe in the engine room, or in a 
generator room or anywhere noisy, it's not easy to hear it...  since 
typically, one runs the macerator offshore, machinery will be running... 
and if you're single handling, again offshore, boat running, you dont' want 
to spend time away from the helm to listen to the macerator or watch then 
amp meter.  On the otherhand, you can turn on the sealand and come back 10 
minutes later to shut it down, no worries
