More and more countries have passed laws governing the discharge of
wastewater. Boat owners who have installed a holding tank are always
on the safe side of the law when sailing far-away waters. Dometic has
been active for years in the use of holding tanks and pumping stations
in order to keep our marinas and the marine environment clean.
