PLUMBING
Select coaches equipped with a Sanicon macerator
may have a valve to shut off the waste flow to the
macerator drain hose. This valve can be shut off when
using the larger gravity drain to prevent pressure
and waste in the small hose when not in use or in the
event that the small hose develops a leak. However,
this valve must be open if you plan to use the
macerator drain hose. You must open the valve prior
to turning on the macerator.

3. Insert the nozzle into the sewer connection.
4. Open the gray water dump valve, and run the
macerator pump for a few seconds to confirm that
the system is operating correctly.
DRAINING THE WASTE WATER TANKS
ON A COACH WITH A MACERATOR
WASTE SYSTEM (SANI-CON)
The Sani-Con macerating waste system provides the
following convenient features:
•
Provides a sanitary method for discharging liquid
waste from the RV by easily and quickly emptying
waste-water from the RV’s holding tanks, without
relying on gravity.
•
The macerating system pumps liquid waste from
holding tanks and does not rely on gravity.
•
The macerator is designed to process human waste
and toilet tissue, making the Sani-Con ideal for black
water, as well as gray water, discharges.
1. Make sure the black and gray water dump valves
are closed.
2. Point the hose nozzle upward, and remove the
nozzle cap.
If there is a problem with the connection, or if the
system is not functioning correctly, the macerator
may need to be cleaned or serviced.
IMPORTANT
!
7. Monitor the tank as it empties. The pump will run
louder when the tank is empty.
8. Turn off the pump switch once the tank is empty.
9. Flush the black tank, and operate the macerator
while it is flushing.
10. Turn off the flush system, then turn off the macerator.
11. Close the black water dump valve.
Camping With Sewer Hook-Up
When camping at parks with sewer hook-up, it is
important to keep the black water holding tank gate valve
closed at all times, except when dumping. The gray tank
can be kept open while hooked to a sewer connection,
but the black water tank must be kept closed. This is done
so that an ample supply of liquid remains in the tank to
provide a smooth flow through the gate and drain valve
when dumping.
Sufficient liquid in the tank causes a swirling action
that should take any accumulated solid wastes with it.
Accumulation of solid wastes in the black water tank
can be avoided by keeping the gate valve closed when
connected to the sewer hook-up. If the valve is left
open, solid wastes may accumulate in the tank. This may
eventually result in costly repairs.
12. Add tank chemicals and the amount of water
recommended by the chemical manufacturer.
13. Drain the gray tank next to help flush out the
macerator and sewer hose.
14. Open the gray water dump valve.
15. Turn on the pump switch.
16. Monitor the tank as it empties. The pump will run
louder when the tank is empty.
17. Turn off the pump switch once the tank is empty.
18. Flush the gray tank, and operate the macerator
while it is flushing (if equipped).
19. Turn off the flush system, then turn off the macerator.
20. Close the gray water dump valve.
21. Place the cap on the hose and store it.
22. Add tank chemicals and the amount of water
recommended by the chemical manufacturer.
5. Shut the gray water dump valve, and turn off the
pump switch once you have determined that there
are no problems.
6. Open the black water dump valve, and turn on the
macerator pump switch.
