RESPECT OF THE ENVIRONMENT
- Remain informed of local regulations concerning the environment and follow the codes
of best practice.
- Do not drain the contents of the sewage tank near the coast or in zones where it is
forbidden.
- Make use of the port or marina pump facilities to drain the sewage tank before leaving port.
- Find out the international regulations against marine pollution (Marpol) and follow them as
far as possible.
MAINTENANCE - TANK
- To prevent odors caused by organic waste in pipes one should clarify the circuit after each
use. For this procedure, drive about ten times the manual pump of the toilet or for a minute
if it is an electrical pump.
- When you leave the ship for several days, flush the toilets circuit assembly with fresh
water. Purify with specific products (for example a health additive to clean, disinfect and
neutralize odors).
ADVICE - RECOMMENDATION
- Completely empty the black water system before leaving the vessel unattended in
temperatures below freezing.
