Where could I find some good insight into designing the plumbing to get
water out of my shower drain to an underwater thru-hull, and staying out of the shower? The plumbing in my Beneteau allows some water to come back into the shower drain at the base of my head, enough that when I heal the boat, it coats the bottom of the head floor. Seems after the pump stops, the extra water in the hoses to the pump slowly let out water, maybe only 4-6 ounces, but enough to fill the bottom and come up a small amount above the drain. I suspect its designed poorly and I could upgrade it myself. I noticed for example the diaphram pump wasn't design to be connected to underwater thru-hulls. The current plumbing has a hose running up then down the wall to a thru hull, in a loop,with an in-line filter and a diaphram pump at the top of the loop. After I pump the water out of the head, even if I close the thru hull, water runs back into the shower drain within a minute or two. If I stick a cork in the bottom of the drain, the water gets around it and forms a tiny pudle in the middle of the head anyhow. Dan |
