OILET
The toilet is efficient and easy to operate. Generally, more water is required only
when flushing solids. Prior to using the sanitation system, it is strongly
recommended to flush the toilet several times to release sufficient water into the
holding tank. If there is not a sufficient amount of water used during flushing, the
waste materials may not evacuate properly from the drain line to the tank. Clogged
tanks and pipes could eventually occur.
The toilet system will perform better when water is run for ten to fifteen seconds
after flushing to ensure that the waste will proceed to the bottom of the tank.
Unlike a toilet in a home, which uses four to seven gallons (18 - 32 liters) of water
per flush, the average recreation vehicle system uses one to three quarts (1 - 3
liters). For added convenience and better sanitation system performance, it is
advisable to always have four to six inches (10 - 15 cm) of water in the toilet.
To prevent help toilet blockage, always use RV grade single-ply toilet paper. Do
not flush paper towels, diapers, sanitary napkins or other foreign objects down the
RV toilet.
Sewage (black) tank preparation
1. Release one to two quarts (1 or 2 liters) of water into the toilet bowl.
2. Follow the directions on your toilet chemical bottle (customer supplied), by
placing the recommended quantity of holding tank chemical into the toilet
bowl.
3.
Flush the toilet and allow at least two gallons (8 liters) of water to flow into the
holding tank.
Waste (grey) holding tank preparation
No special preparation is required, however, placing a small quantity of chemicals
into this tank, such as baking soda or an approved RV chemical, will reduce odors
from food particles in the system.
Cleaning & Maintenance
The toilet should be cleaned regularly for maximum sanitation and operational
efficiency. Do not use chlorine (undiluted) or caustic chemicals, such as laundry
bleach or drain opening types, in the toilet system. These products damage the
seals in toilets and dump valves.
WARNING
It is important to prevent solid waste buildup. Follow the toilet manufacturer’s
recommended instructions each time after emptying the black water holding
