Marine Sanitation

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.
