Drain system for shower and sinks
Drain system in the shower
The water collected in a reservoir is drained by the same electrical pump of the main bilge,
for the aft toilet, and by a supplementary electrical pump for the bow toilet.
The pump control switch is for both pumps the
BILGE PUMP switch located in the 12 Vdc
control panel (see page 45), while the pump starting switch is for both the toilets on the
right side of the sink. (see page 49).
The electrical pump for the bilge drainage of the aft toilet is mounted abow the engine, at
the left side, it is accessible by lifting up the saloon ladder; the bilge pump for the bow toilet
is installed inside the toilet furniture.
•
When having a shower or immediately after, it is necessary to drain the water’s
reservoir using the appropriate electrical pump.
•
The aft toilet pump outlet flows into drainage collector located in aft portside peak
while the bow toilet pump outlet drains directly in the right bulwarks .
how to drain:
•
Start the 12Vdc control panel switch which monitors the electrical outlet pumps. As
the aft toilet pump can empty the shower bilge or the main bilge according to their
position above the pump, it is necessary to arrange these valves in the desired
position. We suggest to maintain the valves in outlet main bilge position, and to
proceed at the emptying of the bilge shower only when necessary. These valves are
reachable only lifting up the floor board abow of the ladder entrance, near them it is
also located a little filter to protect the pump, to be cleaned jerkily. (see page 56).
•
At the end of the shower, put on the switch of the used toilet located at one side of
the sink furniture:
-
Let the switch inserted as soon as the water in the reservoir has been completely
discharged, then disconnect it.
-
Once the operation has finished, don’t forget to disable the 12 Vdc control panel
switch.
