Maintaining the toilet
• Clean the toilet with a mild cleaner.
• Never use cleaning agents or deodorants which contain pine oil, formaldehyde or chlorine, nor
corrosive or petroleum-based agents.
These materials can damage the plastic and rubber parts in the toilet.
• Lubricate the pump shaft with Vaseline to increase the service life of the seal.
• Flush the toilet system thoroughly with fresh water when the boat is not in use.
4.2.11.2 Septic tank
Avoid environmental pollution!
The black water tank is fitted with a deck outlet pump using an international
standard type connection. Using the pump, the black water can be emptied to a
permanent septic tanks ashore. These facilities must always be used.
In areas where there are no permanent septic tanks, the macerator is used to
evacuate the contents of the tank straight into the water as follows: Open the
sealed seacock. If possible, empty the tank daily and always in deep waters far
from the shore. For the location of the pump, see the section
Septic system
.
The shut-off valve must be closed after the evacuation.
Do not allow the tank to become full. It can lead to paper becoming compacted in
the bottom of the tank, making it more difficult to empty.
NOTICE
Before the boat is laid-up for winter storage, the whole system must be cleaned
and flushed thoroughly while the boat is still in the water.
The whole system must be thoroughly drained of water when the boat is lifted out
of the water.
This measure prevents frost damage, bacteria growth and smells.
Use of antifreeze is not recommended, since it is impossible to guarantee that it
reaches all parts of the system.
