For the sake of keeping the seas clean even with the cruisers and boats traveling in it, it is imperative to have equipment installed.

The said tips are there to help you properly install your equipment without worrying about mistakes. Also, these are tips that can optimize the usage of your pumps. Here are those installation you must know about.

First, know how to install toilets properly. Doing the installation as properly as possible means that you will have to read what the manufacturer's instructed with regards to that. The same goes with the freshwater hookups as well as electrical wiring, with the additional note of following the legal and technical standards.

Holding tanks should be properly installed as well. If you want to install the holding tanks, then you have to find the right place where they should be installed. The area for installation must not have any sharp objects such as protruding screws since they increase the possibility of puncturing the tanks. Supports and restraints should hold tanks in place as well.

Deck fittings should be considered as well. Know where the proper place to put the said deck fittings. Once you find the right place, you will have to drill the pilot hole through the deck from inside. Make sure to avoid hitting your interior wiring and systems. The deck fittings should then be placed properly inside.

You should also consider what to do with the piping and hose. It is imperative that you keep your hose running short and straight so that you can minimize the likelihood of permeation and odors. You should even consider using a rigid pipe below, if it is possible. Chafe protections for bulkheads and support brackets should be taken into account as well.

General fittings and system connections are crucial to this installation so you must make certain that this is capable of being reached for the inspection, maintenance, and removal works. Use the proper solvent cleaner to take care of these too. Also, make sure that the general fittings and system connections are not subject to any pressure.

There might also be sealants that must be used in this particular installation. For the sealants, it will be good for you to know what they are used for. Know how they are going to be used as well. Sealants have different uses, after all. As long as you use them properly, you can avoid situations such as blockages from happening.

For actual pumps, check on what requirements are already set in place by your manufacturer. You have to follow those requirements. Also, know where these pumps should be mounted. When there are electrical wiring or systems that must be put in place, follow with their standards as well. Not only that, use the proper sewage treatment for them in your boats.
