Tuning your boat…toilets and more

The season is just around the corner, and we can enjoy boating all year round, but now is the right time to get our boats ready after the winter lethargy, so we can enjoy them during the season. At Dahlberg we recommend that you check and clean the following points of your black water system:

  • toilet bowl
  • Hose circuit
  • Level sensors
  • Storage tank

The goal will be to avoid bad odors coming from the sewage system and toilets.

Marine toilet:

The cup Bathroom: In the event of dark or lime stains, we will apply a descaling or stain remover product to leave the bowl spotless and free of mould. 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 toilet bowl (which makes the system watertight). To clean it, always disconnect both the power supply and the water tap. Open the plastic ball and use a water-tight cleaner to clean it. 
non-abrasive, which removes limescale and stains, such as Sealand Toilet Bowl & Seal Cleaner , we will scrub underneath and around the seal. 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.

Hose circuit:

During the toilet's rest period, bacteria may have been proliferating in the toilet bowl, pipes and storage tank. To eliminate them, inhibit bad odours and disinfect the system, we recommend using Adinet WC Nautic deodorant. To make the most of its benefits, it is best to pour 100 ml of undiluted product directly into each toilet bowl. Keep in mind that you must first flush several times to empty the loading line. When temperatures are high, you can add more product to increase its effectiveness. Let the product act for at least 1/2 hour to be effective. It is also a good option to let it act in the hoses or in the tank for a week.

By using the Adinet WC Nautic We make the product clean paper scraps and residue, leaving everything in its path disinfected and odor-free. We should avoid using products that contain formaldehyde, as they are very polluting. And this product is made with biodegradable surfactants, and is considered an “ecological product”.

And what about the grey water tank or the hose and drain circuit?

The liquid coming from the drains of the washbasin and kitchen sink also contains agents with bacteria and produces bad odours (soap residue, grease, food particles).

This grease sticks to the walls of the pipes and the grey water tank. To avoid this and keep them clean during wintering, we recommend pouring 50 ml. undiluted of  Adinet Tank in each drain (shower, sink, etc.). In the kitchen, because it contains more fats and gives off more odours, we recommend pouring 100 ml. This will prevent grease from oils and soaps from sticking to the walls of the pipes and the resulting bad odour. When temperatures are high, more product can be added to increase its effectiveness. We will let the product act for at least 1/2 hour, for it to be effective. It is also a good option to let it act in the hoses or in the tank for a week.

Level sensors:

We will access the sensors, clean them of debris and wash them with descaler if necessary.

Recommendations of the season:

Finally, and in order to avoid the inconvenience of blockages, Dahlberg offers special toilet paper for marine toilets. Dometic/Sealand Ultra-Solvent Toilet Paper.
