Well this brings up a question for me as well. On the Raritan Crown it has a tank that Raritan recommends using Raritan Concentrate #CON22. Are the above products discussed used along with or in lieu of? Since there is no supplier locally for me is there another product used similar to the CONN22?

For the last few years I have had very good luck with 'Aqua-Kem'. It did very well on my old system (pre-carver) that pumped in raw water to flush. That was a smelly way of 'doing business'!
I have no odor whatsoever with the fresh water system on my Mariner.
Thanks Splashy Lady for the lead on the filter. The replacement filter at West Marine is in the high $100's.

I contacted Raritan about this and the Concentrate product has been replaced by their C.P. (Cleans Potties) product. The only chemical they recommend it be used in conjunction with is K.O. (Kills Odors).
