How to install waste tank and remove old toilet system. To be environmentally friendly.

[Seamon]

Hi people,
I have a s25 1979, I removed the whole floor, the plumbing of these boats (ouput) used to get rid off the waste directly in the water... so now that I have acces to rout my pipes, I would like to instal a waste tank. And connect my toilet.

Where can I get the informations to start the job?

tank

Waste tank is for waste only. Never plumb sink to waste, e-coli will be pretty bad.

Re: tank

So sink (output) goes in the water? If so... 1 problem solve

Yep, direct your sink water right out the hull, but through a seacock. Is that Seidelmann 25 that was sunk a while back?
I bought a new one of those in 1978.

Cool, that mean my sink is already well pluged through a seacock valve. And no... mine never sunk... as I know... I think It's "Bruce R" boat.

But for the connection of toilet to the waste tank, is there any informations that I can get?

You'll find plenty of information if you browse the previous threads in this forum...and if you click on the link in my signature here, it'll take you to a comprehensive "marine toilets and holding tanks 101" installation, operation and maintenance guide.

Most of the parts and equipment you'll need are available from the online store on this site: sbo.com plumbing Prices are at least as good, usually a lot better, than anywhere else.

And then there's me, here to answer your questions ...

I've decided to buy an portable toilet with the tank under it. Because, with the room I have, my tank would of been higher than my toilet.

Thank you,

I bought a plug for the old thru hull fiting that was for the "out" of my old toilet. But when I screwed the plug to the fiting the whole assembly turn on it self (1/4 of a turn).

Do anybody can tell me if there's any danger. Is this normal?
