leak. This drainage is inherent in the design of
the vacuum breaker, and is evidence that it is
functioning properly.

EXTERIOR SHOWER

The exterior shower feature allows you to do
things such as rinse off sand or salt after a swim,

waste water from the galley sink, bathroom lava-
tory and shower, and is commonly called the
gray water tank.
