Yes very common. The shower draining into it is an obvious expectation, draining the AC into the sump is to minimize water in the bilge that would eventually stagnate and smell over time. Usually sinks drain overboard but some applications drain into sumps as well.

Thank you.

Re: 1987,3607 aft forward shower box
Open the cover and remove both the float switch and pump. Clean these properly with soap or degreaser paying special attention to the impeller that will be entangled with hair that obviously needs to be removed. Pour some simple green or degreaser into the sump box and brush it clean, now reassemble. run water from hose or turn on a tap that drains into the sump and let it run for a good 15 minutes to clean everything out. By doing this every year you will never have a sump problem or odour issue from the sump. They do need some TLC every so often.

Viper wrote:Source of the post RWS, do you have an open sump box or a closed one that has a lid? If it's an open one that was used in earlier models, I recommend you replace it with a newer one. Among other things, the new ones have a lid which helps minimize odours.
Viper, It is a new one, closed with a lid. Thank you sir.
