Fresh & salt water flush
Both freshwater and saltwater toilets offer distinct advantages, making them suitable for different maritime applications. Freshwater toilets, commonly used on larger vessels and in coastal communities, utilise potable water from onboard tanks ensuring cleanliness and compatibility with existing plumbing systems. On the other hand, saltwater toilets are popular on smaller boats and in coastal regions where conserving freshwater is an important factor. Seagoing vessels use seawater for flushing, reducing the demand on precious freshwater resources and offering environmental benefits by minimizing the strain on onboard water supplies. The choice between these systems depends on factors such as vessel size, resource availability, and operational needs.
Tecma solenoids have proven to be versatile and reliable components for marine sanitation systems, offering excellent performance in both freshwater and saltwater environments. For boat owners with an existing freshwater pressure system, integrating a TECMA toilet into the current pipeline is a straightforward process that can enhance onboard comfort and convenience. However, before proceeding with the installation, it is crucial to verify that your existing pressure pump can deliver the required water flow to all of your outlets. This simple precautionary step will help guarantee that your TECMA toilet operates efficiently and effectively, providing a seamless experience for all users. By taking the time to confirm your pump’s capabilities, you can avoid potential issues and enjoy the full benefits of your TECMA toilet system, whether you’re cruising in coastal waters or navigating inland waterways.
