By Anna L. Johnson


Odors are unpleasant, and nobody loves them especially the bad type. In the water bodies, they come from dysfunctional restrooms that have clogged or accumulated filth from the toilets septic tank and bowls that have been fitted on board the boats.The cause of these odors is due to bacteria accumulations in the pipes when there are weather changes. There is an emission of gas from the pipes leading to a bad smell. Here is some information on how to remove boat toilet odor.

There are various ways to check and it is by having a regular water flow to flush the toilet after use. This helps to clear the filth immediately and that it does not get stuck or smear thus leading to bacteria action. Flushing half a gallon of water will be enough depending on the toilet bowl. If the used water does not go out as required, that means it leads to a back flow and the outflow pipe is either clogged or not holding the flush for it is weak so change the pipe.

Clean the bathroom using the recommended Eco friendly cleaning products.In the market, there are various products and some have drastic effects on the draining pipes of the toilet.They have been known to cause corrosion leading to leakages, brittleness, and softening in the pipes.

Carry enough water on board for flushing the human waste. A water pump is an added advantage to pump water to the water holding tanks. Use a gallon of water to flush the waste so that there are no smears left in the bowl and pipe that might lead to a clog up. These clog ups do lead to back flow that the waste is not fully emitted. Another cause of back flow is when the pipes have become soft.

If you get an old boat, it is advisable to change the whole system.There are choices to make, and you can either have a manual bathroom or an electrical one, and it will depend on your financial status.Have a vented loop connected to release any trapped gases in the system.

The control waste tanks are to be checked for how they hold the waste without any leakages. The tanks should be easy to drain, easy to move and free of leakages. Patch up or replace a faulty tank. Connecting pipes should be held firmly in place, and an ant leak adhesive or a rubber seal applied to them. It should always remain covered to avoid it spilling in the boat when it is in motion.

Having a backup restroom system is appropriate when the other one fails, and you can also have an external water pump to pump water to the storage tank.In the case of unclogging the pipes manually, you might entail the services of a plumber who will get down to business.

So when you have a boat trip in the salt waters or fresh waters, implement these measures for a no rotten egg smell day.Bad lavatories do breed sickness and disease because they do attract some pests and vermin on board. Look for a good service provider if you cannot do the work by yourself.
