Tangent but this caught my eye:

>Cleaning of vacuum waste lines with chemical cleaning agent and crushed ice

Is there like a special ice cleaning slurry they use? Or do they just dump a bucket of ice and some chemicals in the lavatory and flush?

Some people use ice to clean RV tanks too. Flush a bunch of it then drive a while and let it bang around as it melts then drain it. Probably would work on a boat too.
Works well for garbage disposals. Also a good way to get rid of freezer ice that's bern through too many defrost cycles.
Yeah. Used to do this in my years of traveling in a fifth-wheel. Works great.
Just some ice and chemical then flush.

Skychem or Honeybee 76 is the chemical

And in between checking maintenance log book and tire pressures:-
