What should be done with the sewage system during cold weather?

During cold weather, it is essential to secure the sewage system overboard and operate it manually when needed. This practice helps prevent the sewage lines from freezing, which can cause blockages or damage to the system. By securing the system overboard, you are essentially safeguarding the functionality of the sewage treatment process. Manual operation ensures that the system is only in use when necessary, minimizing the risk of freezing and keeping the system viable during low temperatures.

Keeping the system operational at all times can lead to increased risk of freezing and plumbing failures. Disconnecting the sewage system from all systems could hamper necessary waste disposal when the system is needed. Similarly, using the system without any special precautions disregards the increased risk posed by low temperatures, leading to potential operational issues. Thus, the careful approach of manual operation and secure practices is prudent in cold weather conditions.
