Learned a valuable lesson this past week !!!

Never flush your toilet with the SuperFan on !!! It brings up smells from the Black water tank which I believe are from the "bowels of hell" !!!

Been there, done that. Took us a couple of days after I installed the new fan to figure it out though

Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy.
You live and learn, or you don't live long.
If you don't punish your children, life will.

Hmmm, I wonder if there is a way to mount a fan "kill switch" on the toilet cover...?

This is probably a stupid question, but what's a SuperFan?

Never had an odor problem because the fan was running. If you treat your tank and don't fill to overflow, vent problem is a likely culprit.

Bad smells can also come out of the grey water tank.

Yep had those same smells. They do sell a vent cover that is supposed to stop that.

I use seazyme and dump the tanks every 3 days no matter what. Never had a odor with the fan on.
