marine sanitation device (MSD). The VacuFlush vacuum sanitation system, when installed in a boat, is a holding tank or Type
III system as defined by the U.S. Coast Guard. Type III systems are designed to permit operation of the toilet without the direct
discharge of untreated waste after every flush. This means onboard toilet facilities can be used when the boat is near swimmers,
beaches or shellfish beds.
Type III systems can be discharged at marina dockside pump-out stations or, if in coastal waters, a minimum of three miles
offshore.
overboard discharge capability must remain secured while within the three-mile limit. The overboard discharge
