J - 7 WASTE SYSTEM
The various anti-pollution laws presently in effect have
necessitated the use and availability of a wide variety
of toilets. The toilets installed in the forward and aft
heads are the same. They have been chosen to
provide proper fit, reasonable longevity and reliable
service, at a realistic cost. Refer to the manufacturers
literature included in the owner’s packet for additional
information regarding your particular toilet.
A. Sanitation System
The toilets obtain their flush water from the fresh water
system. Fresh water is the key to an odor free bath-
room compartment. This system eliminates the
unpleasant sulfide odors which plague saltwater
systems. Flush water is no longer drawn through the
through-hull fittings, seacock, and vented loop. It also
extends the life of the system components by eliminat-
ing salt water and impurities from accumulating in the
system over time. Note : The fresh water system is
protected from any possible contamination from the
waste system.
The toilets are optimized for minimal water use. The
approximate amount of water used per flush is as
follows: 3.7 pints/1.75 liters for liquid waste and 4.75
pints/2.25 liters for solid waste. Lock-out electronics is
another notable feature which prevents flushing if the
waste holding tank is full. Circuit breakers which
protect the forward and aft toilet circuits are located on
the 12VDC cabin panel and are labeled accordingly.
The location of the waste holding tank is in the floor of
the master stateroom. See Figure J11.
