By Jasmine T. Larue


Proper maintenance of your boat washroom should be a top priority. Perhaps, it is the only way of keeping it fresh and in great working condition. Below are a few things you need to do and tips on selecting the right marine toilet odor control product. Read ahead and get that small room in a perfect working condition.

It is important to flush your toilet using freshwater. Of course, there is always the temptation to use salty water. However, using the freshwater is one of the best things you can do to keep bad odors at bay. The reason is simple. Water has microorganism that react with human waste resulting into the production of foul smell. The use of freshwater minimizes such interactions and ensures freshness of the marine head.

From the above point, you realize the importance of having enough clean water within the lavatory compartment. You can store some freshwater in a gallon for appropriate use. Ensure you and your guest use just enough water depending on the waste they release. For instance, solid wastes should only be flushed using a full gallon of water. For urine or liquid waste, half a jar is ideal.

Just like in any public place, a few rules have to be put in place. Politely explain to your guests the importance of keeping the marine toilet as clean as possible. You may also place posters with rules strategically within the lavatory compartment. One of the basic things everyone should understand is that apart from human waste, only toilet paper should be flushed.

To keep your marine toilet pump working smoothly, ensure that you lubricate it regularly. You can do this monthly by using products intended for boat heads. You can also use mineral oils, which is a cheaper and friendlier option. Oil lubricates the movable parts keeping the leather parts and internal rubbers in supple conditions. You can also prolong the life of piston-rod seals through greasing.

Toilets in marine vessels are not supposed to produce any foul smells, but they often do. This is not a cause for worries though as there are lots of things one can do to deal with the problem. However, you first need to be sure that the problem exists. This you can do by rubbing a clean cloth on any leakages and the passage hose. You can then sniff for smells.

To control the smell coming out of your boat lavatory, you can also use one of the good odor control products. If you have never bought them before, you will have to do enough research to find the right one for you. Start by going online to search for suppliers of these items near you. You can also get suggestions from other boat owners you know around.

Go for sellers who are able to provide you with a few references. You need to talk to people who have used the products you have to buy. This will help you know if they are the best for your boat. Meanwhile, you should shop around to get the best prices to avoid being overcharged.
