Our goal is to educate you about the purpose and function of many of the marine parts required to keep your boat running smoothly. Whether you're a veteran seaman or a novice, one thing you all know is that a boat comes equipped with hundreds of moving parts.

No one person can know everything there is to know about the proper functioning of every boat part. That's why we've tapped the collective wisdom of our long-time technical experts to share their knowledge and expertise.

What You Need to Know About the Raritan Purasan Treatment System

Raritan Purasan EX Waste Treatment SystemPurasan EX is a treatment system which allows the discharge of your black water into the river, lake or ocean you're boating in. It's like a small wastewater treatment plant on your boat. It uses enzymes and a chemical reaction to treat the black water.

On a boat, you have fresh water, grey water, and black water. Blackwater is sewage. Grey water is dishwater and/or sink water. Freshwater is your drinking water. In the RV market, there are grey water tanks and black water tanks. Typically on most boats, there is only one storage tank for black water. Grey water and sewage combine and go into a single tank.

Maintaining a Purasan treatment system requires adding chemicals to keep the chemical reaction going. Raritan also recommends you flush your marine toilet with the fresh water on the boat. Some boaters use ocean water or lake water to flush their toilet. However, the salt in ocean water or the debris in lake water can cause the Purasan system to malfunction. So, the manufacturer always recommends you use fresh water for flushing the head.
