Disinfection of Potable Water Distribution Systems and Storage Tanks on Recreational Vessels

Safe and Clean Freshwater for Every Journey

Clean drinking water is essential for comfort and health during time at sea — especially on recreational vessels where water may sit in storage tanks for extended periods.

 

At Globusmarine, we offer specialized disinfection solutions designed to ensure the safety and quality of potable water onboard yachts, sailing boats, and other leisure craft.

Why Freshwater Hygiene Matters

Stagnant water, high temperatures, and irregular use can turn onboard water systems into breeding grounds for bacteria, algae, and biofilm. Without proper disinfection, your drinking water may become unsafe or unpleasant, putting you and your guests at risk.

Water Tank Cleaning & Sanitization

  • Use of marine-safe biocides, including stabilized chlorine dioxide, to eliminate bacteria and biofilm.
  • Removal of accumulated residues and microbial growth inside freshwater tanks.
 

Distribution System Flushing

  • Disinfection of all onboard plumbing lines, taps, and showers to ensure safe water delivery throughout the vessel.
  • Prevention of microbial regrowth between trips or during seasonal lay-up.
 

Long-Term Protection

  • Safe, low-maintenance dosing options to maintain disinfection over time without affecting taste or smell.
  • Ideal for vessels with irregular water use or long cruising itineraries.
 

Benefits for Yacht Owners and Captains

  • Safe, fresh-tasting drinking water onboard
  • Protection from waterborne illnesses
  • Reduced need for bottled water storage
  • Easy-to-implement maintenance routines
