At the time, it was not a device that was in demand, but Raritan saw the need for this technology. Eventually, they designed a simple macerating box that used small amounts of chlorine to eliminate the bacteria present in the waste.
Over time, the technology evolved, and so did the public interest in protecting the marine environment. Eventually, the EPA and the U.S. Coast Guard implemented regulations and standards regarding waste discharge from boats. These regulations increased the need and demand for sophisticated waste treatment devices for boats. Today, Raritan offers a
