DEODORANTS AND SPECIAL TISSUE
Your VacuFlush sanitation system requires the regular addition of a deodorant product to reduce malodors and to
help break down holding tank contents. Several factors should be considered in selecting a deodorant product.
Liquid or Dry:
Liquid products obviously work more quickly by readily going into solution. Dry powder formula-
tions, on the other hand, have the advantage of requiring less storage space and are less likely to leak if the
package is inadvertently damaged.
Formaldehyde versus Non-Formaldehyde:
SeaLand manufacturers both types of deodorants. Generally
speaking, formaldehyde formulas (such as SeaLand
®
brand) control odor very effectively at all temperatures and
with all degrees of water hardness. Secure
®
brand, which is formaldehyde-free and also manufactured by SeaLand,
is similarly effective, but may cost a bit more.
Environmental Hazards:
If you would like further information on the impact of holding tank deodorants, call or
write SeaLand Technology at the number and address listed on the back page of this manual. Request a copy of
Clean Water Notebook, Volume 5, which provides complete information in this regard.
How Much Deodorant and How to Add It:
The deodorant is added directly into the toilet bowl, then flushed over
into the holding tank. Follow bottle or package instructions. Conditions of extremely warm weather, longer waste
holding time and larger tank capacities may require more deodorant treatment. Also, to maintain optimum
efficiency in odor control, the waste holding tank should be cleaned thoroughly at least once or more each season,
depending on use.
Why Not Use Household Toilet Paper in Your VacuFlush Toilet?
You can, providing the household tissue you
select readily breaks up in water. Household tissues often contain adhesives which bond together the paper fibers
from which the tissue is made. The adhesives prevent the tissue from breaking apart, and their use in ultra-low
flow systems can cause system clogging. SeaLand tissue is especially designed for use in marine toilet
systems. Its rapid dissolving properties minimize the amount of residual paper in the holding tank and allow
deodorizers to work more efficiently.
SeaLand versus Other Brands:
SeaLand Technology is the leading supplier of marine toilet systems, deodor-
ant products and dockside pumps. We constantly strive to provide our system owners with effective products that
have minimal environmental impact and good value. Many deodorant products do not measure up to our
standards of performance and value. Your marine dealer has our deodorants, tissue and other accessories
on hand.
