Ways On How To Remove Marine Toilet Odor

By Jeremy Dyer


It is important for one to keep lavatories clean if they want to maintain high hygiene standards. Dirty ones bring discomfort especially when they stink. Those people who have no way of avoiding this stench by leaving, like those in a boat far away in large water bodies suffer the most. For their own good, these individuals need to teach themselves how to remove boat toilet odor.

A lot of people see this as a very hard task that demand so much work. This however is not the case as one would only need to make sure they follow strict regular cleaning schedules. It is also important to follow simple toilet using rules like sitting properly to avoid messing up the seat, as well as flashing after using every time. In fact, this is an important step to ensure it does not start stinking.

Odor from a marine toilet is caused by many reasons, one being the discharge hose. It might be permeable and thus allowing escape of bad smell coming from trapped effluents in the system. To know whether this is the problem, rub a clean rug across the hose jacket then sniff it. If it is the cause then one is advised to change it immediately and use impermeable hoses that are sanitation friendly.

Sometimes the system leaks and causes the toilet to smell. A similar technique of passing a dry piece of rug around vents, valves and loops is used to see if there is leakage. The piece of rug turning dump clearly shows there is leaking. One should thus make sure that valves and vents are sealed or tightened properly, getting rid of such loops that trap effluents.

Marine life and grass that usually get trapped under the bowl and the passage where flush water comes out, also bring odor. One can stop this by fixing a strainer along the intake line. Regular cleaning of this area using scented bleaches or vinegar also helps as it prevents the accumulation of marine life, and leaves your toilet with a pleasant smell.

In most cases salty water will cause scale deposits to accumulate making it very difficult to flush the lavatory and eventually causing leakage of water found in the discharge line back in the toilet bowl. The leaked water gives the lavatory a bad smell. To fix this issue effectively, a small portion of white vinegar can be regularly applied across the head. Vinegar freshens the water and assists in eliminating salt deposits.

One can also use an acidic flush to remove the odor coming from the lavatory head. A mild mixture of muriatic acid and water will most definitely do the trick. Follow the instructions as directed in the acid bottle when mixing, then pump the solution slowly into the head hose allowing for the dissolving of thick residues.

Doing everything necessary to stop toilet odor but never succeeding may mean that it is time to do an over haul of the toilet system. One can hire an expert to do this or decide to do it themselves while following good guidelines as the process is not difficult.
