Operating the DDU (Dockside Discharge Unit) is as easy as docking your boat alongside the pump, connecting the hose and turning on the pump. The pump out process takes only minutes. Discharge Unit’s have been installed at marina’s all around Australia and with simple, easy to use functionality they are fast becoming the first choice for the Marine industry, click below to view some of our installs.
Environmental Benefits
The discharge of sewage from vessels into our waterways contributes to reduced water quality, poses health risks and decreases visual aesthetics of waterways. Environmental protection laws continue to be introduced throughout Australia to prevent the discharge of raw human sewage into the sea, waterways, rivers and lakes. Through most of Australia it is now law for the operator of any commercial marina to provide adequate and readily accessible waste collection facilities for use by all vessels. If this is not already in force where you operate it will be soon.
As a result of continued legislation changes, the increased demand for sewage collection facilities coupled with the rising volume of waste for disposal, has led to the development of the ‘Heavy Duty’ Dockside Discharge Unit. The Heavy Duty Pump can easily empty up to a 600 litre holding tank in only three minutes, giving it enough power and speed to cater for a variety of vessels, and remain efficient during peak periods. Ensuring that adequate waste disposal facilities are available for all vessels will not only protect marina operators from hefty fines, but will also help preserve our waterways for the future.
