Description
These VETUS tanks are made in 7 different shapes and sizes, with contents of about 42, 61, 88, 110, 137, 170 or 215 litres. The 88, 137, 170 and 215 litre models are built with baffles as standard.
The discharge of marine toilets ('black water') and of sinks and showers ('grey water') directly overboard in yacht harbours or other sheltered water is ever more restricted nowadays. In order to overcome this problem and fully comply with the rules, VETUS has developed a system for temporary onboard storage of waste water. This waste can then be discharged overboard whilst sailing in open water or, preferably, pumped into a holding tank or sewer at a convenient point ashore.
These tanks may be installed in existing craft relatively simply, without the necessity to replace the marine toilet. Owing to the special odour impermeable material used and to the thick wall construction, these VETUS waste water tanks are designed for the temporary storage of 'black water' (toilet waste).
The waste water tank will need an inlet connection for each toilet, shower, wash basin etc. Please note that to prevent unpleasant odours, it is recommend the use of separate tanks for 'black water' and 'grey water' waste. When a marine toilet is connected to the tank the use of VETUS odour tight sanitation hose is recommended. The use of a VETUS diaphragm pump (VEEMP133), is recommended to empty the tank. This type of pump is not prone to clogging with semi-solid waste.
