Wintering of the… marine toilet

The cup of the bathroom: in the event that there are dark or lime stains, we will apply a descaling or stain remover product to leave the bowl spotless. It must be a product that does not damage the joints and parts of the toilet (we should never use salfumán). Our technicians use the Adinet Cisternas product effective against limescale and does not damage rubber seals.

If we have Vacuflush vacuum toilets We will take into account that an accumulation of mineral deposits may have been generated under the edge of the rubber gasket of the bowl (which makes the system watertight). To clean it, disconnect ADINET-JBNET-002 Always have both the electricity supply and the water tap. Opening the plastic ball and using a non-abrasive cleaner, such as Sealand Toilet Bowl Cleaner , we will rub under and around the joint. Next we will use a brush and water to clean the loose deposits. Remember not to use products with caustic components, as they can cause irreparable damage to the rubber seals.

Do you use salt or fresh water?

If you use salt water, close the seawater suction valve. To ensure that there is no water leak or flooding due to this cause. Also, never leave traces of salt water inside the pump or cup because it rots, smells bad and creates a layer of lime. Grab one or two buckets of fresh water and pour them into the cup.

If you use fresh water, give the system a few good flushes with water from the supply to completely empty the hoses.

Should we leave the cup dry or with a small amount of water?

If our toilet is electric or manual, it is best to leave it completely dry, without a drop of water inside.

If we have a Vacuflush system, leave two fingers of water, to prevent the joints from drying out and hardening.

For thorough maintenance and wintering:

In manual toilets: dismantle the pump mechanism to clean the rubber gaskets and leave them soaked with a little Vaseline before reassembling them.

In electric toilets: try to dismantle the motor, remove the rubber turbine closing cover and clean the entire part that is in contact with fresh/salt water, including the delivery pipe.

In Vacuflush vacuum systems, we will only ensure that it is clean and without residue inside, performing several rinses, and following the same procedure as in the hose circuit.
