Black water system
Black waters are toilet waste waters
The Grand Soleil 45’ can have both bathrooms or just one linked to a black water system. The
diagram at page 121 shows the version with both bathrooms linked to the black water system. In
addition the above-mentioned components for the normal toilet functioning, that version includes:
•
three-way valves inside each bathroom cabinet, to direct the toilet waste to the sea or to
the collecting tank;
•
a stainless steel black water tank, with a capacity of about 45 litres, located under the fore
cabin bed floorboard, to be more precise, in the port peak towards the bow;
•
a black water tank vent piped into the second starboard stanchion on the deck (from the
bow);
•
a WASTE cap on the deck, to drain the black water tank by sucking from the shore
system, located on the starboard walkway, near the above-mentioned stanchion;
•
a self-priming electrical disposer to empty the collecting tank into the sea, installed just
ahead of the tank itself;
•
a disposer seacock on the port hull side, accessible through the opening under the sofa
between the fore cabin bathroom and bed;
•
a starting switch for the black water tank disposer, located just above the disposer seacock;
•
a magneto-thermal switch, one of the two available ones in the SERVICES section of the
12 Vdc electrical panel, to enable the starting of the black water tank disposer;
•
various pipes, all white, with the exception of the pipe going from the disposer to its
through-hull seacock, which is the normally used type.
