ENVIRONMENTDo not discharge soaped waters drained by washing machines and dishwashers in the harbour, inside marinas or near beaches, because of the large amount of foam produced.
The water discharged by the showers and the washbasins is collected into a grey water tank placed at mid yacht.
It can be inspected by lifting the flooring of the VIP’s cabins, and is connected to the draining pump at automatic or manual control located in the engine room.

The grey water pump is controlled from the bridge control panel.
The pump, in automatic operation, starts operating when the level reaches the float and is deactivated by means of a timer. It has to be remembered that the float inside the grey water tank is equipped with a circuit delaying for some second, both the pump switching ON and OFF.
The start delay prevents that, in case of yacht rolling, the pump primes with the wake.
The switching OFF delay ensures that the pump sucks also the residual liquids below the float level.
Waste water is discharged overboard through a central drain located in the engine room.
In manual mode, the waste water pump can be operated via a switch located on the control panel on the bridge.
We recommend to monitor constantly the tank level, by checking the warning lights of the synoptic panel, or, to drain the tank manually, before entering the harbour, to avoid returning to open sea for tank draining.
Condensate of fan coil is collected in special boxes and discharged directly overboard.
At least once every three months:
