Tips On Marine Toilet Odor Control

By Greg Haus


Keeping your lavatory clean is paramount in avoiding bad smells and accumulation of bacteria on the facility. Keeping the system clean is fairly easy however it will require regular cleaning. There are many causes and solutions of bad smells from a lavatory as explained in this article. Some of the toilet odor removal systems and methods are also explained below.

Often this type of lavatories does not stink but if they do then the source of that stench is often the discharge hose. To confirm whether it is the actual source, find a clean cloth and dampen it a little. You then rub the cloth over the discharge hose and smell it. If the cloth has a bad stench, then replacing the hose with a new more efficient one is the only option as the old one has become permeable.

Poor connections leading to leaks can also be a cause of a bad stench. Checking if a leaking connection is the source of the bad smell is done in the same way as checking the discharge hose that is through using a cloth. Once a connection has been identified as the cause, it can either be tightened, but if this does not work then, it should be fully replaced.

The bad smell can also be as a result of grass or marine life trapped in the passage of the flush water. They are often trapped under the rim of the bowl. These organisms can either be dead or alive but will still result in a bad smell. To handle this problem, a strainer is installed in the intake line to filter the organisms from the water so as to clear it.

The bad smells can also be as a result of the ant siphon valve. Ensuring that it is properly installed will help make certain that the bad stench is avoided. Furthermore, you also need them installed as far from your house as possible. In cases that the actual cause of the stench is not identified, it is recommended that you contact an expert to carry out an overhaul of the system so as to identify and solve the problem.

A common mistake is flushing the head using salt water as it leads to scale deposits on the discharge channels and hoses of the system. This in turn results in a blockage of the system or leaking back of water from the discharge line into the bowl especially when the deposits are on the valves. Using white vinegar in flushing once a month will help reduce the number of accumulated deposits.

Another option to help clear the calcium deposits is through using acids. The acids can be used over and over again until the scales are completely cleared as it does not affect any of the plastic rubber and porcelain parts. However, metal is affected by frequent use. Oil is also needed to help lubricate the leather parts and keep the internal rubber supple.

It may not be easy to ensure that your lavatory does not produce bad smells but by following the above guidelines, you can have a fresh and clean lavatory. Regularly cleaning and conducting the above processes will help ensure that this is achieved. For problems that you cannot solve on your own, it is advisable that you get an expert to solve it for you.
