Dometic SeaLand Develops Innovative New ECO Vent Filter

The new filter design provides the most efficient filtration by forcing more malodorous air to flow through activated charcoal media. It also offers boat owners a one-size-fits-all replacement for existing SeaLand vent filters.

“For boat owners with an onboard black water tank, the SeaLand ECO vent filter uses a specially sized activated charcoal to remove odors from the air that is vented from the tank after each flush. The unique concave filter shape prevents air gaps within the filter for the most thorough odor removal by the charcoal filtering media,” said Ken Taranto, VP Aftermarket Sales at Dometic Marine. “With a SeaLand ECO vent filter, boat owners simply don''t have to worry about tank odors escaping through the vent line: Independent tests show that the effective life of a SeaLand vent filter will outlast competitive filters by a factor of 2.4 times to 12.6 times.”

The filter – which represents the first major change to the waste holding tank vent filter in 25 years – has a single, universal, fast-to-replace cartridge that fits all SeaLand vent filters, regardless of the vent hose size. The end caps loosen from the center cartridge while hose fittings remain secure. There is no need for messy “retrofit” kits or other less effective filters.

The exterior of the filter cartridge is made of high-density polyethylene, rather than the glued PVC used in earlier generations of vent filters. This polyolefin is a recyclable, environmentally friendly alternative to the non-recyclable PVC. In addition, the new SeaLand ECO cartridge is made with 55% less plastic than the previous version.

The filter offers a designated space for the installer to record the date of installation, reminding the boat owner when it''s time for a seasonal replacement.
