PLUMBING
If standing water occurs in your shower, do not
attempt to unplug or open the drain with a coat
hanger or a sewer snake. Before taking your coach
to a service center, try leveling your coach so that
the rear is raised slightly higher than the front. This
may correct the condition and prevent drain-cleaning
or a service repair. If this does not correct the issue,
Newmar recommends taking your coach to a service
center for drain-cleaning or repair.
IMPORTANT
!
Foreign objects, such as hair, in the trap may allow odor to
enter the coach and impede or slow water drainage and
require occasional cleaning. When removing the waterless
trap for cleaning, the ridges must be down and the
direction of water flow must be correct when re-installed.
Toilet Overview, Care, and Maintenance
This article provides an overview of toilet operation and care and maintenance. “Go” in style and comfort, no matter where
your travels may take you.
Waste Water Drain Lines
The drain lines are plumbed from the sinks, showers,
and toilets are sloped to drain waste water to the grey or
black tank.
Toilets
CAUTION
!
Use only approved RV odor controlling chemicals
in the holding tanks. Do not use chlorine or caustic
chemicals like laundry bleach or drain-opening
chemicals, as they will damage the seals in the toilet
and dump valves. Products containing ammonia and
petroleum may damage the ABS plastic holding tanks
and seals.
Be careful not to spill the chemical on your
hands, clothing, or the carpet, as it may cause a
permanent stain.
IMPORTANT
!
Care and Maintenance
Before using the stool, treat the tank with water that is
mixed with an odor-controlling chemical, which is readily
available at any RV supply store. Mix as directed on the
holding tank chemical package. After mixing and flushing
the chemical mixture, the waste tank is ready for use. The
stool should be cleaned regularly for maximum sanitation
and operational efficiency.
SFA Saniflo Lift Station Pump Operation (Model: Sanivite)
This article provides basic operation instructions for a SFA Saniflo Lift Station Pump (Model: Sanivite).
Overview
Certain floorplans may use a
lift pump in locations where
plumbing drains are too low or
too far away for gravity drains to
effectively reach the waste water
holding tanks. The design is a
small collection tank with an inlet
from the sink or shower with a
submergible pump to push the
water out of the discharge to the holding tank.
Note: Lift pumps operate on 120 volt power. The coach
must be plugged into shore power or using the generator,
or, when dry camping, the batteries must be charged and
the inverter must be operational. Some coaches may have
a separate small inverter just to operate the lift pump;
however, most will share the inverter with other inverted
circuits.

Product(s): SFA Saniflo Lift Station Pump (Model: 8-59925-00208-4, Newmar Part
Number: 125332)
Note: On floorplans with lift pumps, follow proper
winterization instructions to prevent the system from
freezing.
Operation
After storage and/or winterization, run the water from the
bathroom or from the kitchen appliance connected to the
pump. Check to make sure connections are water tight
and that the pump starts and stops correctly.
The pump starts automatically as soon as the bath, the
shower, or the sink begins to drain. It shuts down when
the water has been drained.
Note: The pump may cycle on and off several times as it
discharges the drain water.
