Hi Dave,

Since we have the wonderful internet, let's do a quick Google on Mrs.
Hall...

"Peggie Hall first entered the marine business in 1987, when she formed
Peal Products, which was the first company in the marine industry to
focus exclusively onMarine Head onboard sewage management issues and the
elimination of odors on boats. In addition to the Peal Products line of
environmentally friendly sanitation and cleaning products (which were
soon given outstanding performance ratings by Powerboat Reports and
Practical Sailor), Peal Products was a distributor for every major US
manufacturer of marine toilets, MSDs, and related equipment and
accessories. In 1999 Mrs. Hall sold Peal Products to Raritan
Engineering, a major manufacturer of marine toilets, the Lectra/San
(Type I MSD), and other equipment. She is now an independent consultant.

Peggie Hall is recognized in the boating industry as one of the few
experts in marine sanitation, and is often referred to as �?the Head
Mistress.” As a member of ABYC, she was a member of a sanitation project
technical committee formed to establish a standard for sanitation
equipment and installation onboard from its inception in 1991 through
1996. She has written a number of articles for major boating magazines,
is often asked to speak at conferences, conduct seminars for various
organizations and at major boat shows, and is a consultant to a number
of state agencies. She also hosts plumbing and sanitation forums on
several internet boating sites.

Her comprehensive article "Marine Sanitation: Fact vs. Folklore" was
long considered the most definitive guide to US marine sanitation laws,
various types of sanitation equipment, proper installation, operation,
maintenance and odor control ever written. Her first book �?Get Rid of
Boat Odors! �? A Guide to Marine Sanitation Systems and Other Sources of
Aggravation and Odor,” published in April 2003 by Seaworthy Publications
Get Rid of Boat Odors, is the first book ever written devoted entirely
to that subject."

I'm really glad your system is working out for you. I hope we get a
chance to meet if we make it down to Ensanada.
