Light Sequence:
➀
Flush toilet only while
green flush cycle light is
on (first 40 sec.).
➁
Treatment light (green)
will remain on for entire
cycle.
➂
Check Fuse light (red) on:
See Troubleshooting.
➃
High Salt or Low Salt
light (amber) on: Treat-
ment will continue. See
Troubleshooting.
2. If using a manual toilet or electric toilet installed
on a separate circuit, Lectra/San EC must be
activated before flushing the toilet.
TREATMENT CYCLE
(How it Works and What it Does)
The flushing action of the marine toilet discharges
waste and water into the first chamber of the Treat-
ment Unit. There, waste is macerated and treated.
Proprietary electrode plates are electrically ener-
gized to temporarily convert salt water into a strong
bactericide, hypochlorous acid. This solution treats
the waste by eliminating bacteria and viruses, then it
reverts back to the original state of salt and water.
Upon the next flush of the toilet, additional waste
enters the first chamber, forcing some of its treated
contents into the second chamber. While the new
waste is being macerated and treated in the first
chamber, the contents of the second chamber are
stirred and given additional treatment. A mixer is
located in the second chamber to prevent sludge from
accumulating and to ensure uniform treatment of its
contents.
Successive flushes move the original toilet discharge
through the Lectra/San EC and eventually over-
board. When the discharge enters the water it is
completely treated and no harmful elements are
added to the environment.
MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: Cleaning and Winterization
instructions are based on having an electric toilet
connected to the Lectra/San EC for single button
operation.
Periodically inspect the unit for leaks and check for
loose plumbing and electrical connections.
WARNING: If the toilet is wired on its own
circuit, or manually operated, make sure power
to Lectra/San EC is OFF prior to cleaning and/or
winterizing.
CLEANING
WARNING: DO NOT activate the Lectra/San
EC during this procedure. Discharge seacocks
must be in OPEN position.
NOTE: The following procedures pertain to use
with single button operation toilets.
Completely read all instructions before begin-
ning the procedure.
Treatment Tank:
1. Remove the three fuses from the Control Module
(located on the top of the Treatment Tank). Mark
each fuse for replacement purposes. Fuse re-
moval will permit operation of an electric toilet
without activating the Lectra/San EC.
2. Shut off intake seacock to the toilet, if necessary.
Once fuses have been disconnected, flush bowl
as dry as possible.
WARNING: Before using acid, observe safe han-
dling instructions on container.
3. Add one pint of muriatic acid, 31% by weight
(available from hardware stores), to a two gallon
plastic bucket of fresh water.
4. Pour the solution into the toilet and flush the
toilet (press button) as dry as possible so the
solution is forced into the treatment unit.
5. Pour an additional gallon of fresh water into the
toilet bowl to dilute the remaining acid. Let stand
for 45 minutes before flushing toilet.
6. Open intake seacock or water supply. Flush the
toilet as often as possible during the flush cycle.
(During the Treatment Cycle the toilet cannot be
flushed.) Allow the Treatment Cycle to finish.
Repeat four times.
6a. For toilets which are not controlled by the
Lectra/San control open intake seacock and water
supply. Flush the toilet at least 15 times for 15
seconds each time (minimum of 10 gallons rinse
water) to effectively dilute and discharge the
Lectra/San EC contents.
DO NOT FLUSH TOILET AFTER THE
FLUSH CYCLE LIGHT GOES OFF.
