Get ready! Spring is just around the corner
Spring is the prelude to the summer season and, with it, the time to think about preventive maintenance of various points of our boat so that everything is in perfect condition for the summer. Thus, with the beginning of the year, many sailors make the decision to beach their boat, but many times they do not take into account all the elements that need that extra care so that they continue working as the first day, such as toilets and black and grey water tanks.
One of the situations that can overshadow a fun and relaxing day of sailing is the malfunctioning of the boat's sanitary equipment or bad smells caused by poor maintenance. To prevent this from happening to you, remember to always contact professionals specialized in this area, such as Dahlberg , who are specialists in free advice, installation, repair and maintenance of marine sanitation systems . In addition to spare parts to keep them up to date, we always have new units of the DOMETIC and SANIMARIN brands in stock.

As professionals in the field, with almost 50 years of experience, we know that many questions can arise when preparing a boat and what to do with the sanitation system. Should I leave water in the toilet bowl? Do I have to dismantle the entire system? And, most importantly, what do I do to stop it from smelling? Forget about this and put yourself in the hands of a specialist like Dahlberg!
There are many points to take into account when winterizing the black and grey water tanks, such as the sanitary hoses. An element that, if kept in perfect condition throughout the year, will prevent blockages in your toilet. How to do it? First, we advise you, in the case of the black water system, to disinfect and descale the system with Adinet WC Nautic , a product that is poured directly into the toilet bowl and that eliminates paper remains and waste from the hose circuit, as well as bad odors. Apart from this cleaning, it is also necessary to check that all the connections of the hose circuit are well adjusted and in perfect condition, to avoid possible leaks. If the problem is only in the tank , we have Dometic Tank Cleaner tablets that perform a deep cleaning, and when it is necessary to clean the tank, we have the ... From the grey water system (shower, washbasin, sink, etc.) we have the Adinet Tank , which reduces hair, grease and food sediments, thus avoiding bad odours from their decomposition and, consequently, preventing the dreaded blockages.

In the case of DOMETIC level sensors, their maintenance requires manual cleaning, with a specific descaler, to remove any adhered residue. Since these sensors suffer a lot throughout the season, it is advisable to maintain them well so that they do not have to be changed often.
In short, wintering helps to preserve equipment for longer, it will extend the useful life of most of the consumable spare parts, which are the parts that wear out the most. For this reason, we always recommend winterizing your black and grey water tanks with professionals in the sector who know all the procedures to follow and all the parts of the system to check. This is the only way to save time and money on repairs, and based on the fact that prevention is always better than cure, make sure that your boat is ready for when you want to go sailing and, above all, avoid unpleasant odors coming from the sanitary equipment.
