Operation of the black water retention system
Toilets are emptied via the black water tanks only, which are then emptied as well:
- either by pumping: deck cover
- or by draining into the sea: valve
ADVICE-RECOMMENDATIONS
After each use, rinse the whole system: fill
the tank with fresh or sea water then empty
it.
Use domestic cleaning products.
The whole system has to be drained when the boat is
halted and the temperature is negative.
CAUTION
For respect of the environment:
Do not unload the retention tanks close
to the coasts, use the pumping systems provided by
harbours or marinas to empty the tanks before leaving.
Please check that the outlet valve is closed in order to
avoid any accidental discharge.
