Basics About 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.

It is uncommon to find such lavatories producing a bad stench. One main source of such a smell is usually the discharge hose. The smell is produced once the discharge hose becomes permeable. To solve the issue, it needs to be replaced with a better one. To confirm if the hose is producing the smell, rub it with a damp and clean cloth, if it has a bad smell then the hose needs to be replaced.

Another source of the bad smell is a leaking connection. Checking the connections for any leak that results in bad smells is done in the same way through using a clean damp cloth. Often the connection that is mainly affected by leaks is the area around the piston rod seal. The seal can either be tightened or replaced completely to solve the problem.

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.

Acids can also be used to clear the calcium scales. The use of acid to clear the accumulates can be repeated over and over again till you are certain that the calcium scales are cleared completely as it does not affect the surface. Furthermore, to ensure that the pump walls are lubricated, and the leather parts and internal rubber are supple, you can use s dose of oil together with the vinegar flush on a monthly basis.

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.
