CauTion
: Overfilling the holding tank
can create serious damage to the
sanitation system, such as rupturing the holding
tank and releasing tank contents into the bilge.
To prevent this possibility, Dometic strongly
recommends the addition of a “full” tank safety
shut-down relay to the toilet’s incoming electric
power wiring. The “full” signal from the holding
tank can be generated by an optional SeaLand
TankWatch level monitor system.
