Toilet servicing & winterization
Toilet servicing & winterization
marine heads require very little maintenance but if left neglected can be troublesome and messy. a small amount of biodegradable marine descaler should be used to flush the discharge hose to help the build up of calcium build up.
if the waste system is going below freezing it is good measure to empty the heads,hoses and holding tanks or adding a non toxic bio degradable antifreeze
Blocked toilet waste hose
Heads flushed with salt water accumulates calcium build up in the discharge hoses. calcium deposits cause a head to get progressively harder to flush, and it is scale on the valves that allows water in the discharge line to leak back into the bowl. Calcium deposits eventually lead to total blockage.
the discharge pipe then has to be replaced or flushed through to break up calcium blockage

pumps are a important part of the boat plumbing system, they should tested frequently and in most cases never run dry. we supply, repair and maintain most types of water pumps, discharge pumps, vacuum pumps, sump pumps and macerator pumps from manufacturers including sealand dometic, johnson ect
