5.5 Fresh and waste water systems
The fresh water system provides you water for everyday use and the waste water system allows you to collect the waste water for discharging it when in dock.
1 | Fresh water filling inlet | 5 | Fresh water tap and sink in toilet compartment |
2 | Waste water discharge outlet | 6 | Toilet and toilet compartment control panel |
3 | Waste water tank | 7 | Fresh water tap and sink in wet bar |
4 | Fresh water tank | 8 | Fresh water shower |
The fresh and waste water systems have each their own plumbing and tanks.
The fresh water system provides water to the shower on the bathing platform and to the taps in the wet bar and in the toilet compartment.
The waste water system collects the waste water from the toilet as well as from the sinks in the toilet compartment and wet bar.
The toilet operates electrically. The electrical toilet uses fresh water for flushing.
Waste collected in the holding tank can be disposed of through the waste discharge outlet or directly overboard using the macerator pump and seacock. Whenever possible, empty the waste water tank into a fixed onshore waste water tank.
In certain waters, you could be fined for having an operable direct overboard discharge.
To avoid this, close the waste discharge seacock, remove the handle or take other precautions.
