At the end of each season, the SeaLand toilet should be winterized for
storage, by either draining or using potable water-safe antifreeze in the
system.
To drain:
1. Thoroughly flush system with fresh water.
2. Empty holding tank.
3. Shut off water supply to toilet(s), and remove inlet waterline (Fig. B).
Do not remove cap on bottom of valve.
4. Press flush lever until all water is drained from toilet(s).
To use antifreeze:
1. Drain potable water tank.
2. Add freshwater antifreeze to potable water tank.
3. Flush potable water antifreeze and water mixture through toilet(s) and into the waste holding tank. Each
installation is different, so amounts may vary. User discretion is required to assure adequate protection.
4. Empty holding tank.
noTe:
Use nontoxic antifreeze designated for potable water systems. (See vehicle owner’s manual.)
cauTion:
Never use automotive-type antifreeze in freshwater systems.

Sanitation hoses should be cleared if toilet will not be needed for an extended period of time (more than two weeks).
1. Fill toilet bowl with water and add 4 oz. (120 ml) of biodegradable laundry detergent (should
NOT
contain bleach).
2. Flush toilet, holding pedal down for about two minutes. Close flush ball.
3. Turn off water supply to toilet.
4. Flush the toilet without water, allowing the vacuum pump to shut off after the flush. Repeat three times.
(This procedure will minimize any remaining water in the sanitation hoses.)
5. Turn off power to the vacuum pump.
6. Completely pump out holding tank.
If system will be subjected to freezing temperatures, please follow above procedure, then winterize system.
