It has always been a taboo topic to talk about anything related to “going to the bathroom”, especially on a boat. Do you have a boat and suffer from traffic jams periodically? Below, we provide you with all the keys so that you do not suffer from this unpleasant problem.

The golden rule: the toilet is not a trash can. It is only prepared to accept elements that are “natural”. It seems obvious, but Dahlberg technicians have run into major traffic jams for not remembering this rule. ( Do you dare to see real photos? )

The use of excessive toilet paper, not using the appropriate toilet paper, feminine intimate hygiene products, cotton swabs or wipes, is the main reason for clogs in a ship's toilet. In short, any object that the design of the marine toilet does not support.

How can I avoid traffic jams?

In short, professionals strongly recommend the use of quick-dissolving toilet paper, since saving on this product means, most of the time, increasing the cost of maintaining your marine toilet system and never forget to instruct guests about How to use the toilet.

Is there a difference in using household toilet paper and special one for nautical toilets?

Many household toilet papers contain adhesives (to stick the paper fibers together) that dissolve without problems at home. The discharge pipe has a diameter 3 times larger than on a boat and the number of liters of water used is considerably greater than on a boat. In a boat it is done with only half a liter of water, while in homes the amount of water usually varies between approximately 6 and 20 liters. Therefore, household paper can quickly clog a marine system with a low volume of water.

At Dahlberg we give you the opportunity to purchase this special toilet paper Dometic ComfortCare in our online store. It is 100% made from recycled paper, biodegradable and dissolves very quickly.
