What have you learned, seen or thought about that makes the best possible use of your on-board head and shower?
I learned (Thanks Peggy!) that the Raritain Marine Elegance head is one of if not the best there is and I just installed one. Today I'm installing a new external Solo tank monitor.*Tank Monitors | Technologies LLC
It doesn't sound like holding tank air vent filters help much.*
Noflex is said to help and I'm starting that this weekend after pumping out to calibrate the above level monitor.
Does anyone else get a disgusting 'burb' when you starting pumping out? I have to remember to open the valve on the pump out hose reaaaaaaaallllly slowly to avoid it.
We put a shower curtain over the helm access panel which is in the shower and it seems to work well. We also put a shower curtain over the entry to the shower to keep the rest of the head fairly dry.**
The cabinet in the shower isn't fairing very well with near daily use of the shower (our marina is known for dirty bathrooms
What do folks use for a 'panel' to hold new switches and displays that don't cover up the old holes of past displays etc? (I'm thinking a piece of bathroom art for one area and a thin piece of paneling sealed with epoxy and varnish for another.)
Shower and floor drains?*
Fans or vents?
Shower handheld head? Ours dribble a lot when you push the button to turn them off. Is there a brand that turns off entirely? We often use the handheld shower to rinse out the toilet bowl. Seems like it uses less water and gets the job done quickly. (Both of our heads can now be flushed without adding water.)
Best way to seal trim and joints so shower water doesn't soak into the wood under and around the head?
Hot water ideas? We have ours turned up so high it is bordering on dangerous. The plus is that it takes so little hot water to be comfortable in the shower that two of us can shower one after the other.*
So! What have people learned / discovered that makes full time use of their heads (bathroom but on top of your neck too I suppose) as comfortable, efficient and maintenance free as possible?
Thanks all!!
