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 may use up to seven gallons 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.
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 (approved RV) 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.
WARNING
It is important to prevent solid waste buildup. Follow the toilet manufacturer’s
recommended instructions each time after emptying the black water holding tank.
CAUTION
It is important to add enough water to prevent solid waste buildup. Follow the
directions listed below and in the manufacturer’s operator manual.
CAUTION
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 toilet.
