FULLY BIOLOGICAL MINI SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT FOR YACHTS, HOUSEBOATS AND MOBILE HOMES
enteron | User Manual
Due to its weight in filled operating condition, the plant should be installed as close as possible to the
centre of the ship and as low as possible in the vessel. Gravity assists the filling of the tank. Also pum

ping up to a height of 3m is still achievable.
For mounting,

requires a flat, firm base sui

table to withstand a load of 300 kg (

) or 450
kg (

). Composite panels or thick plywood
panels, suitably protected against moisture are ideal
for this purpose. The plant should be attached with the
enclosed 18 screws (M10) and is thus held securely,
even in case of motion due to wind or waves. The plant
produces pumping noises, depending on the load si-
tuation, every hour for some seconds and at 11:00 am
and 16:00 pm for 2 minutes. This is necessary for com-
plete clarification and to avoid sludge. Thus, we recom

under bunks, on which
people sleep during the day. The plant can also switch
on quickly at night, when increased use of the toilet is
required. The less faeces in the liquid and the larger
the sound chamber, the louder the pump will be heard.
However, the compartment can be lined with suitable
sound insulation such as that used for the engine room.
The pumps must not be covered as they will turn warm.
Periodic maintenance will be required via the top of the
plant. Therefore ensure suitable access is easily achie-
vable. Before installation check passageways and door
widths. An easy solution is to build a mockup of the
tank from cardboard to ensure that the chosen route
and installation site will work.
The control unit should be easily accessible and must
be installed directly next to or above the plant. Fix the
2 m system cable with cable ties. The control box is
2 00 mm in height x 200 mm in width x 120 mm in depth
plus mounting brackets. It is to be fixed to a vertical
surface with 4 x 6 mm wood screws.
The plant is not frost-resistant and must therefore be installed in a permanent-
ly frost free area of the vessel or vehicle. If this is not available, the system must
either be equipped with an additional heating system or it must be taken out of
operation in winter and then winterized with frost protection. In this context,
please note the chapter WINTERIZING or DECOMMISSIONING.
