Wintering of the… marine toilet

 

The cup Bathroom: if 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 hydrochloric acid). 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 a build-up of mineral deposits may have formed under the edge of the rubber seal of the bowl (which makes the system watertight). To clean it, disconnect the always, both the electrical supply and the water tap. Opening the plastic ball and using a non-abrasive cleaner, such as Sealand Toilet Bowl Cleaner , we will scrub underneath and around the seal. Next we will use a brush and water to clean off any 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 sea water intake valve. This will ensure that there is no water leak or flooding due to this. Also, never leave salt water residue inside the pump or bowl because it rots, smells bad and creates a layer of lime. Take one or two buckets of fresh water and pour it down the bowl.

If you use fresh water, rinse the system thoroughly with water from the supply to completely empty the hoses.

Do 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 winterization:

For manual toilets: disassemble the pump mechanism to clean the rubber seals and soak them with a little Vaseline before reassembling them.

For electric toilets: try to disassemble the motor, remove the rubber cover that closes the turbine and clean the entire part that is in contact with fresh/salt water, including the discharge tube.

In Vacuflush vacuum systems, we will only ensure that it is clean and free of residue inside, by performing several rinses, and following the same procedure as in the hose circuit.
