Toilet System
Introduction
49.
Marine toilets are notorious, all passengers must be aware of how to use the toilet. Instructions
are provided near the toilet to make this process easier. The following points should be noted by the
skipper.
Blockages
50.
DO NOT block the toilet! Nothing will spoil your charter experience more. Be careful with what
you put in it.
If the toilet is blocked then users will be charged a $500 fee.
Water usage
51.
The toilet uses salt water; there is no need to conserve water, but extensive use will fill the
holding tank quickly.
Use
52.
There is a switch that allows water to be pumped into the toilet, or out. Before use, operate the
switch and pump the handle to fill the bowl with water. After use, operate the switch and pump the
handle to empty the bowl.
The toilet valve should be left in the 'closed' position to stop flooding.
Holding tank
53.
The toilet contents are pumped to a holding tank. Under normal use, the holding tank should be
suitable for up to 7 days use before it needs to be pumped out. The tank can be pumped out at marina
facilities, or emptied using the macerator if more than 2nm offshore.
Toilet cleaner
54.
A small amount of toilet cleaner can be added to the bowl each day to help control odours.
Marine cleaner will be provided for multiple day charters.
