Shower Drainage System

Shower Drainage System Onboard

1. System Components

• Shower Tray:

  • Description: The base where the shower water drains.
  • Materials: Reinforced plastic, stainless steel, or resin.

• Drain Grate:

  • Description: A grate that covers the drain to prevent large debris from entering the system.
  • Materials: Durable metal or plastic.

• Drain Pipe:

  • Description: A conduit that carries wastewater from the tray to the tank or pump system.
  • Materials: PVC, HDPE, or reinforced flexible hose.

• Drain Pump:

  • Description: A pump that extracts water from the tray and sends it to a storage tank or directly to the sea.
  • Types:
    • Electric Pumps: Operate on electricity and require a stable power supply.
    • Manual Pumps: Use manual force to evacuate the water, often used in case of a power failure.

• Debris Filter:

  • Description: Equipment placed before the pump to capture small debris and prevent clogging of the pump.
  • Materials: Metal or plastic.

• Control Valve:

  • Description: Regulates the water flow and controls the drainage.
  • Types: Manual or automatic.

• Piping System:

  • Description: A set of pipes and fittings that transport wastewater to the drainage system.
  • Materials: PVC, copper, or flexible hose.

2. System Operation

• Water Collection: The water used in the shower flows into the shower tray.
• Drainage: The water flows through the drain grate and the drainage pipe.
• Pumping: The drain pump extracts the water from the drainage pipe and sends it to a tank or directly to the sea.
• Filtration: Debris is captured by the debris filter before reaching the pump to prevent blockages.

3. Installation

• Location: Install the shower tray in an accessible location with an appropriate slope to ensure proper drainage.
• Connections: Connect the drainage pipe to the tray and pump, ensuring all connections are watertight.
• Securing: Ensure secure attachment of components to prevent vibrations and movement during navigation.
