A marine toilet, or head, flushes into a holding tank instead of a sewer, and its plumbing keeps the waste contained and odor-free. The pump, the hoses, and the tank work together as one system.
The head
A marine toilet either pumps seawater or fresh water through the bowl and into the holding tank, and the flush is powered by a manual or electric pump.
The tank
The holding tank stores the waste until it is pumped out at a marina, and its size sets how long the boat can stay out. humid conditions and older housing stock mean corroded fittings and slow drains show up often In Bossier City, the marina pump-out is part of the routine.
The hoses
Sanitation hoses carry the waste, and they are sized and vented so nothing backs up or smells.
The macerator
A macerator grinds the waste for pump-out through a small deck fitting, and it needs its own service.
The care
Only marine-safe products go in the head, and the system is winterized or serviced on a schedule.
