MAINTENANCE – AQUA MAGIC 4
The Aqua Magic 4 does not require routine maintenance except for cleaning. In some
installations the seat and cover can be removed to facilitate cleaning. To remove seat,
both seat and cover should be in the open (up) position. Grasp assembly on both sides
and pull away from you in an upward angle of approximately 45°. To reinstall seat and
cover, place legs of assembly in rear slots of cover until they are centered on hinge posts
and gently push down at approximately 45° until you feel the engagement.
Vents
Another important part of the sanitation system are the vents which release air from
tanks. Each tank has a vent pipe built into the motorhome through the cabinet, wall and
roof. A vent cap is attached to the roof and must be clear of obstructions to perform as
intended. On some models the vent pipe may be part of the drainage system referred to as
a “wet vent.” This means water flows downward as air flows upward in the same pipe.
Holding Tanks
The final part of your system are the holding tanks. They hold waste and are located
below the floor of your motorhome. Bath tub and sinks drain into the waste water tank,
also referred to as the “gray” water holding tank. The toilet drains into the sewage
holding tank, also referred to as the waste holding tank. Certain floor plans may also have
the lavatory draining into the waste (sewage) tank.
SEWAGE TANK PREPARATION
1. Release one to two quarts (.95 to 1.89 liters) of water into the toilet bowl.
2. Following the directions on your toilet chemical bottle by placing the recommended
quantity of holding tank chemical into the bowl.
3. Flush the toilet and allow at least two gallons (7.57 liters) of water to flow into the
tank.
CAUTION:
IT IS IMPORTANT TO ADD ENOUGH WATER TO PREVENT
SOLID WASTE BUILD UP. Follow these directions each time after emptying your
holding tank, except when winterizing.
GRAY WATER HOLDING TANK
No special preparation is required. However, placing a small quantity of chemicals into
this tank, such as baking soda or a Thetford chemical, will reduce odors from food
particles in the system.
CAUTION: We recommend that you DO NOT travel with full holding tanks. Full
holding tanks are not calculated into the cargo carrying capacity of your mini-
motorhome. The weight from full holding tanks will greatly diminish the cargo
capacity and possibly cause you to exceed the gross vehicle weight rating. This can
affect suspension components, reduce fuel economy, and create adverse handling
characteristics. If you are dry camping and cannot immediately empty your tanks,
reduce your speed until you reach a dumping station.
