The drain line from my vanity sink (with check valve) is teed into the intake
for the head. You do your business, wash your hands (you all do that, right?)
and the sink water leaves a layer in the head that seems to cut down on odors.

Hi Ken,
If the just gets casual use, an inline ball float check valve might prevent the
unintended washing. From that annoying port hand basin.
This is similar to what I was thinking about, but it doesn't have the ball so
the seal isn't as good.

The head sink is so far outboard in the C&C 37+ that it will inflood if you are
sailing on your ear.
That is how we (accidentally) washed out the heads a couple of times now. We
now close the head sink through hull when we know we will be hard over on
starboard tack.
The other two sinks (galley and forward stateroom) are close enough to the
centre line to not be an issue.
