5.8.2 Black and grey water systems
The toilet drain water is stored in the black water storage tank. The tank has a
capacity of eighty eight (88) liters and the level should
be monitored on the tank level display on the
dashboard to ensure it will not be overfilled.
Emptying of this tank should be done by a black water
extracting station at the marina. In case of emergency
the water can be pumped overboard by using the black
water pump. The black water pump is operated from
the panel next to the dashboard. See chapter 5.6.12
for panel layout.
As this pump should only been used in case of
emergency the circuit breaker in the engine
compartment is standardly switched off and the overboard valve situated in the
technical area should always be closed.
The shower drain water is collected in the shower drain tank situated under the hatch
in the galley walkway. This tank will automatically be emptied after it reaches a
certain level. Always be sure that the circuit breaker for the shower drain pump is
switched on to prevent overflowing of the shower area.
The shower drain tank is also used for the draining of air-conditioning’s condensed
water and the boiler overpressure device.
To keep the shower drain system in good order, the drain tank and pump should be
checked on cleanliness frequently. Soaps gathering in a tank will block the pump and
pipelines; as a result the shower area could flood. It is strongly recommended that
this procedure be carried out on a weekly basis when it is in use.
5.9 Galley and comfort
The galley is equipped with 220V AC electric appliances as the microwave and the
coffee machine. The stove works on the ships fuel oil and the fridge is powered by the
12V DC network.
Before operating the galley equipment, familiarise yourself with its
manufacturer manual provided.
5.10 Air-conditioning and heating systems
The boat is equipped with a
Webasto
diesel heater
distributing warm air in all “living” compartments
of the craft. This heater can also be used to de-
condense the windscreens by closing all outlets
through the boat so the only outlets remaining
open are the windscreen openings.
The
Webasto
heater is located in the technical
space at port side and is controlled by a
thermostat and operating panel in the galley area.
The owners’ cabin can be cooled by use of a
Dometic
air-conditioning. The air-
conditioning unit is situated in the technical area and is operated from the panel in
the owners’ cabin.
WARNING
Every country or region has its
own rules and regulations
about the handling of black
water on board of pleasure
crafts.
As a boat owner you should
familiarize yourself with the
local environmental policies
considering the handling of
black water on board.
