In this guide, we'll provide you with everything you need to know about boat sanitation systems. We'll cover the different types of systems available, how to maintain them, and what to do if you encounter problems.

Types of Boat Sanitation Systems

There are two main types of boat sanitation systems: Type I and Type II.

• Type I systems are designed to treat and discharge sewage overboard. These systems are typically used on larger boats that are equipped with a holding tank.

• Check the system regularly for leaks or other problems.
• Pump out the holding tank regularly (if you have one).
• Flush the system with clean water after each use.
