7. Bathroom facilities (ThE hEAD!)

7.1 Toilet

Houseboat toilets are not like the toilets used in your 
home. When you flush the toilet, the effluent goes into a 
holding tank. To ensure proper operation of the holding 
tank, there must be water in the bowl before you flush it.

TO ADD WATER TO THE TOILET BOWL:

There is a pedal located on the lower portion of the toilet 
bowl, to add water lift the pedal up.

WHEN FLUSHING:

Hold the pedal down long enough to wash everything 
down. After flushing, make sure the pedal is back to its 
original position so that it doesn’t continue to run and fill 
your holding tank full of water. After flushing, add water 
to the toilet bowl leaving enough water in the bowl to 
cover the opening of the septic tank system.

Keeping water in the toilet forms a seal preventing 
odors from coming back into the cabin of the boat.

All of our houseboats are equipped with sewage
holding tanks that are pumped out at the end of each 
cruise. Marine toilets and the pump out systems do not 
accept anything other than natural organic waste.

SHOULD YOUR TOILET BECOME PLUGGED DURING 
YOUR CRUISE:

1. Shut the water pump off at the breaker panel.

2. Fill a bucket with clear water and dump down the 
toilet holding the pedal down.

3. The holding tank is large enough to last a week with 
people using the facility correctly, should you have to 
pump out the tank during your stay, it will be at your 
cost.

 7.2  Chemicals

Chemicals are added to the septic holding tank after 
each pump out. You do not need to add any chemicals 
during your trip.

7.3  Toilet Paper

All of our boats are supplied with 1 ply toilet paper. 
Use only the toilet paper supplied. Other types of toilet 
paper can cause plugging, resulting in a service call and 
service fees for you!

7.4 Shower

The shower is similar to your shower at home. However 
the hot water tank is much smaller. Keep your showers 
short. Make sure to wait at least 1/2 hour before the next 
shower.

7.5  Biodegradable Soaps

We recommend the use of biodegradable soaps during 
your stay on our houseboats. All of the water in the 
sinks and shower is returned to the lake through a filter 
system. It is important to help protect our environment 
as much as possible.

You Should Know...

The lake water is returned out 

of the boat through a filter 

system and back into the lake. 

please do not put any gReASe 

down the sink! A grease bucket 

has been supplied on your boat. 

(It’s located under the sink!)
