WASTE SYSTEMS
NOTICE
The various anti-pollution laws presently in
effect have necessitated the use and availability
of a wide variety of toilets. They have been
chosen to provide proper fit, reasonable longev-
ity and reliable service, at a realistic cost.
Certain toilets obtain their flush water from the fresh
water system. Fresh water is the key to an odor free
bathroom compartment. This system eliminates the
unpleasant sulfide odors which plague saltwater
systems. Flush water is no longer drawn through the
through-hull fittings, seacock, and vented loop. It also
extends the life of the system components by eliminat-
ing salt water and impurities from accumulating in the
system over time.
The toilets are optimized for minimal water use. Note:
The fresh water system is protected from any possible
contamination from the waste system. Lock-out
electronics is another notable feature which prevents
flushing if the waste holding tank is full and may be
available on your particular model. A circuit breaker
