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. You can operate the fresh water pump with the Shower pump button on the battery main switch panel.

  • The black water from the toilet is collected into the waste water tank. You can empty the waste water tank when in dock.

  • The toilet operates electrically and uses fresh water for flushing.

When you leave the boat unused for a longer period of time or store the boat over winter, the fresh and waste water systems will build up bacteria and impurities, or will freeze in cold weather. Before you leave or store your boat, empty the fresh and waste water systems and tanks and flush them with fresh water.
