Fresh and sea water to electric toilet
Posted: Thu Jul 12, 2018 10:38 pm
Hi all -
Need somebody to say why this may be a terrible idea.
Our boat, before we owned it had the jabsco electric plumbed to the fresh water line. Great on short weekend trips. Never any smell.
But not so great when we’re out for extended periods and need to be more careful about fresh water usage.
I’ve also
Been want I got to put in a raw water wash down system in the anchor locker.
So I’m thinking on can kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
I want to put in a wash down pump with a y (or if necessary tee) on the output side. One side of the y goes to the wash down hose and nozzle. The other goes to one input side of a diverter. The other input gets connected to the fresh water line.
Now I can select whether I want to flush with fresh or raw water, and always have a wash down available.
Does this make sense, or what am I missing. Potentially polluting my fresh water with back flow of the raw. Maybe a quick shot of fresh after using raw eliminates that worry?
Thanks
Bb
