It's All In Your HEAD…

Do You Have Lack of Fresh Water & Foul Odors 





We have all talked about it, read about it in Boating Magazines and Forums and heard it from the “Lady Skipper“, the lack of having a holding tank on our boats to use for flushing the toilets. Well the solution to this albatross can be found from Raritan Engineering and amazingly it has been available for over 6 years.


Let's start with the “Lack of Fresh Water”

Most Pleasure Boats and Sail Boats lack the holding tank size to carry enough fresh water to accommodate all of the needs of a weekend of boating or a weeks' worth for that matter, so for the most part raw sea water is used to flush and rinse the heads. 


Using raw sea water creates the foul odors from the micro-organism that live in the water. Raw sea water that remains in the toilet rim and within the hoses for extended periods are not an environment where those organisms can live so they die off causing offensive odors. Raw sea water that remains in the toilet rim and within the hoses for extended periods are not an environment where those organisms can live so they die off causing offensive odors. 


SeaFresh by Raritan Engineering solves both of those issues by utilizing a patented system that allows the user to easily switch between either raw sea water or onboard fresh water.


Why would I want to be able to switch between the two?

Fresh water helps eliminate common odors associated with raw water/salt water flushing. When using outside water the organisms get into the rim of the bowl and die causing a very strong rotten egg smell when the toilet is first flushed. 


You will often notice black specs that come down in the bowl as well. The idealsituation is to flush with plentiful outside water while using the boat and then switch over to fresh and flush the lines before leaving the boat for an extended period.


But then if using Fresh Water eliminates Odors, why not just use Fresh Water all the time?

For many boaters carrying enough water on board to flush the toilets is not practical. By utilizing the SeaFresh system you can flush with the raw water while out for the day or weekend and then switch over to fresh to simply clear the lines prior to leaving this greatly reduces the amount of Fresh water wasted on toilet flushing while eliminating the problems associated with raw water flushing.


Won't my Fresh Water system be compromised with also using Raw Sea Water?

Absolutely NOT, SeaFresh by Raritan Engineering has a built-in Check valve system that prevents raw water from backing up into the Freshwater system.

The SeaFresh is available on all Atlantes,Marine Elegance and the SeaEra QC models. All of these product models include a switch that you simply switch to Sea or fresh depending on how you want to flush.


Also available is the Smart Toilet Control (STC) by Raritan Engineering. Smart Toilet Control (STC) is a controller for flushing toilet to optimize water use without compromising the quality of flush. Control consists of a controller, panel and 7′ of cable. STC is designed to automatically start a flushing cycle if normal or water saver buttons are pressed.



 

Currently, SeaFresh is an option choice for our Atlantes Freedom, Marine Elegance and the SeaEra QC, when ordering a new toilet on our website.

Protecting Your Outboard From Corrosion

Easy to Follow Steps to Keep Your Outboard Running Smoothly Raritan Engineering Company your   marine hose  specialists would like to share with you these topics we thought would be of interest to you this month regarding protecting your outboard from corrosion. Your outboard continuously draws water in, circulates it around high-heat components to cool them, and then discharges the water. We recommend flushing after use in salty, muddy or contaminated water because deposits can cling to inside passages and break down those surfaces at a molecular level. Plus, flushing helps to prevent clogs that could impede the flow of coolant water. The flushing port on Mercury outboards makes this easy. With the engine off, trim it to the vertical position, attach a freshwater hose, open the spigot halfway and flush for 15 minutes.  I flush my outboard with Star Brite Salt Off after a day on the water. It’s cheap insurance. I do this right away, while the engine’s still hot. Your...

Hands up if you’ve experienced at least one bout of  mal de mer  in your lifetime. And don’t be embarrassed. Many people are prone to motion sickness; it’s waaaaay more common than you think. According to the Centers for Disease Control, nearly 100% of us have—or will—succumb to seasickness on rough waters. What is seasickness and what causes it? Think of it as a battle of the senses. Your marine toilet systems experts talk about how seasickness occurs when one part of your balance-sensing system (your inner ear, eyes and sensory nerves) senses that your body is moving, but the other parts do not.  It's not easy (or fun) being green! Symptoms of seasickness run the gamut from dry mouth, cold...
