WATER SYSTEMS
z
USE OF THE HOLDING TANKS
The heads are fitted with holding tanks.
To use them, make sure the drain valve on the bowl is closed in order
to avoid any inadvertent discharge (the valve is closed when the han-
dle is perpendicular with the pipe).
You will reach the tanks via the bathrooms.
To empty a black water tank:
- In an authorized area, open the drain valve to empty the tank through
gravity.
- In a marina equipped with an organic waste suction system, put the
suction hose into the tank through the deck filler. Start the pump of the
suction system.
The filler cap is opened and closed with an appropriate key.
When the tank has been emptied, check the cap seal for condition then
close the filler.
Regularly rinse the holding tanks.

In order to avoid clogging the toilets, use absorbent paper only and
pump until the emptying hose is completly empty.
Regularly rinse the toilets with fresh water.

USE OF THE ELECTRIC TOILETS
You rinse them using the fresh water in the port tanks for the heads in
the port hull and the starboard tanks for the heads in the starboard hull.
Ensure that the on board 12 V circuit and the water pump switch
(electrical cupboard starboard passageway) are switched on.
For correct functioning of the toilets, only use the paper recommended
in the toilet instruction manual.
In case of malfunctioning, check the appropriate fuses located in the
port and starboard keelson boxes (see ELECTRICITY chapter).
For the use and maintenance of the electric toilets, please refer to
their instruction guide.
