<h3>Raritan Engineering: Over Six Decades of Marine Sanitation Excellence</h3><p><strong>Raritan Engineering Company, Inc.</strong> has been setting the standard for marine sanitation and plumbing since 1958. Founded on the patent for the original PH Marine Toilet — a manual head built for the U.S. Navy — the company has grown from a single-product innovator into one of the most trusted names on the water. Today, this family-owned, American-made manufacturer continues to produce a comprehensive lineup of marine sanitation and comfort systems from its facility in Millville, New Jersey.</p><p>What separates Raritan from the competition is a relentless focus on real-world reliability, environmental responsibility, and U.S.-built quality. The company's committed workforce averages more than two decades of tenure, and Raritan is known for turning orders around the same day they are received. Critically for boaters, the company stocks repair kits and replacement parts for virtually every product it has ever made — and backs each product with free technical phone support for the life of the product, with an average hold time of under one minute.</p><h3>A Legacy of Firsts in Marine Sanitation</h3><p>Raritan's history reads like a timeline of marine sanitation milestones. The Crown Head — introduced in 1966 — was the world's first macerating marine toilet, a design breakthrough that redefined onboard waste management. In 1974, Raritan pioneered the first small onboard waste treatment system, a concept that was later refined into the ElectroScan, a Type I Marine Sanitation Device that became the benchmark against which all others were measured. These innovations underscore why Raritan is a go-to brand for serious boaters who need dependable systems offshore and in environmentally sensitive No Discharge Zones.</p><p>Raritan's <a href="/7517-raritan-engineering-toilets-manual-electric-fixed-mount-parts-201081">marine toilets — both manual and electric</a> — span a wide range of models, from the legendary PHII to the premium Marine Elegance series, which features a one-piece china bowl, low water consumption, and a SeaFresh option allowing boaters to switch between freshwater and seawater flushing. These units are compact by design, engineered to fit the sloped hulls and tight quarters common on sailboats and powerboats alike.</p><p>Responsible waste management is central to the Raritan ethos. Their <a href="/7517-raritan-engineering-holding-tanks-waste-treatment-systems-200531">holding tanks and waste treatment systems</a> — including the Purasan EX and Type I/II Marine Sanitation Devices — are engineered to comply with the Clean Water Act while minimizing the vessel's environmental footprint. For boaters managing tank chemistry, Raritan's <a href="/7517-raritan-engineering-rv-water-holding-tank-treatment-18300">RV and marine holding tank treatments</a> are formulated to break down waste effectively and control odors in a way that is safe for the marine environment.</p><p>Comfort aboard a vessel goes beyond sanitation. Raritan's <a href="/7517-raritan-engineering-water-heaters-201162">marine water heaters</a>, including the 1700 Series, are built with glass-lined steel tanks for durability and feature a heat exchanger that allows the unit to tap engine heat for efficient hot water production while underway — a genuinely clever dual-mode design. And for vessels where fresh provisions matter, Raritan's <a href="/7517-raritan-engineering-refrigerators-200857">marine refrigerators and ice makers</a>, such as the Icerette, bring the same build quality and long-term parts support that boaters expect from the Raritan name.</p><h3>Why Boaters Trust Raritan Engineering</h3><ul style="list-style:disc"><li>American-made products assembled in Millville, New Jersey since 1958</li><li>Family-owned with an employee base averaging over 22 years of experience</li><li>Free lifetime technical phone support for all Raritan products</li><li>Same-day or next-day order fulfillment for most products and parts</li><li>Environmentally responsible designs built to meet EPA and Clean Water Act standards</li><li>Comprehensive parts availability for current and legacy products</li></ul>

Product Details

The Raritan Engineering K.O. (Kills Odors) is a bio-active holding tank deodorant and treatment formulated specifically for the marine market. Unlike chemical deodorants that simply mask odors, K.O. uses live, odor-eliminating bacteria to attack waste at its source — permanently neutralizing odors rather than covering them up.

Why Bio-Active Beats Chemical & Enzyme Treatments:

  • Chemical treatments only mask odors temporarily and actually kill beneficial odor-suppressing bacteria, often making the problem worse over time
  • Enzyme treatments stimulate the breakdown of existing waste but are ineffective against active odors and become diluted as new waste is added
  • K.O. utilizes live bacteria that continuously digest liquids, solid waste, and paper, fully emulsifying tank contents — no tissue digesters or booster additives needed

Key Features:

  • Bioactive, non-chemical formula eliminates holding tank odors at the source
  • Live bacteria digest solid waste, liquids, and paper — preventing sludge buildup
  • Requires only 4 ounces per 25 gallons of holding tank capacity
  • Keeps tanks odor-free between pump-outs with minimal product use
  • Safe and non-polluting — discharge is compatible with on-shore sewer and septic systems
  • All-natural formula helps preserve and protect the marine environment
  • No need for additional boosters, tissue digesters, or supplemental treatments
  • 1-gallon container for extended use and value

Raritan K.O. is the proven choice for boaters who want a safe, effective, and environmentally responsible solution for marine holding tank odor control.

Showed up a day ahead of schedule, nice, thanks!

Quick and hassle free

I was pretty happy with the service. I ordered the part on a Sunday afternoon and paid $9.99 for 2 day delivery and it arrived on Friday 5 days later so not sure I got what I paid for in that regard.

Order process was quick and easy
