Marine Water Systems

Marine water systems from leading specialists to ensure your marine experience has water convenience from simple to complex systems.


Water management on board can make all the difference in convenience and comfort whilst afloat.

Inexpensive: A simple water carrier with 12v pump, tap and small bowl on my Shetland has meant getting a brew on whenever I want or washing up after catching fish so I don’t go home smelling like a trawler man.

A little more money: A bigger boat, and bathroom en suite to freshen up for the day ahead or a relaxing bath at the end of the day in preparation for a romantic evening.


Ok, perhaps a lot more money but the available equipment to delivery the basics through to the advancement in marine water systems brings the supply of water and treatment of waste water suitable to your pocket and expectations in luxury.

Of course it’s not just about pumping clean water around and the treatment and storage of waste. Unwanted sea water aboard is probably the first water management issue to get working. A bilge pump’s job is to pump out water so your boat stays on top. A simple manual pump is a good place to start for smaller vessels but as it suggests it needs a person to operate it. This could present a problem if the boat is left unattended for any length of time. An electric pump with float switch or sensor is a sure way to manage this but requires a power source. See marine electrics that compliment marine water systems to help with power solutions.

Whilst at sea, the disposing of sewage is regulated by IMO (International Maritime Organisation) by way of Annex IV of the MARPOL 73/78 convention. However small craft carrying less than 15 passengers are not affected by but may have to comply with local bylaws and or regulations.

Inland waterways will have facilities for discharging holding tanks as will many ports and marinas. It’s our responsibility to keep our seas and waterways clean and healthy.

How about getting clean fresh drinkable water from the sea? Desalination isn’t new but is available from some of our listed specialist marine water systems companies for use on board your boat or yacht.
