Thetford Marine’s Tips for Head Maintenance

Aqua Soft Tissue

 

A common misconception is that all toilet papers are alike. In a marine sanitation system, household products tend to clump and obstruct. Boaters find the solution to clogged heads in Thetford’s 100% rapid-breakdown tissue. It begins to dissolve almost as soon as it’s flushed. 

Aqua-Soft® Toilet Tissue is made specifically for marine sanitation systems. It features two luxurious plies of soft, highly absorbent paper. Quick to dissolve, it’s the perfect choice when duplicating the gentle qualities of a home tissue and comes 396 sheets per roll.

The company’s RV/Marine Toilet Tissue is single ply. It’s ideal for fully manual heads due to its fast breakdown. Soft, yet strong, it’s an economical alternative and comes 350 sheets per roll.

Another benefit to using a top-quality tissue comes when it’s time to pump out the holding tank. No clumps ensure a fast and thorough job. Adding Thetford’s Aqua-Kem® Marine rapidly liquefies waste. The tank deodorant is available in liquid form, as well as ultra-convenient Toss-Ins™ single dose packets.

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
