The toilets installed are of a high marine standard and should be trouble free if
used according to manufacturers’ instructions.
WARNING:
To avoid toilet blockage
objects that do not break down
immediately must not be put in the toilet.
The toilet is flushed using salt-water supplied by a 3/4” hose leading from under
the waterline and is able to be closed off with a 1/4 turn levered ball valve. The
valve is open to the sea when the 1/4 turn handle is in line with the hose and
closed when it is at right angles.
The sullage is pumped through 1-1½” hose up to a Holding Tank in each hull that
is installed above the water line. Immediately under each Holding Tank is a ¼
turn ball valve for selecting Sea Discharge. The Deck Discharge is located on
each deck for Marina Pump out. Sea Discharge enables the Holding Tank to be
discharged by gravity directly to the sea. The Sea Discharge is through a valve in
the hull to the sea which is open when the 1/4 turn handle is in line with the
hose and closed when it is at right angles.
WARNING: It is important to flush the toilet and holding tank well to not to let
solid waste remain in the pipe or tank for an extended time as it will
consolidate and cause a blockage.
Other recommendations:
- Always ensure that both the salt-water inlet valve and the waste outlet valve
are open before using the toilets.
- The Deck Discharge can also be used for inserting the optional salt water hose
to flush the holding tank.
- With manual toilet each use, pump the toilet around 15 times to ensure all
waste matter has been thoroughly cleared through the outlet hose.
- With optional electric toilets press the operate button for around 3-5 seconds
to ensure all waste is flushed into the holding tank.
- At regular intervals, rinse the head system through with fresh water and
chemical holding tank cleaner.
- The inlet and outlet ball valves should operate easily. If the valve is hard to
operate it is most likely blocked with sullage. Flush the holding tank if possible
and use chemicals to breakdown the sullage if required.
