RECOMMENDATION
- 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 mi-
nute if it is an electrical pump.
- When you leave the ship for several days, flush the toilets cir-
cuit assembly with fresh water. Purify with specific products
(for example a health additive to clean, disinfect and neutrali-
ze odors).
RECOMMENDATION
Winter storage of the engines is the domain of professionals.
Depending on the boat location, afloat or ashore, winterization
is different.
