Using Toilet and Tank System
NOTE : For added convenience and better sanitation system performance, it is
advisable to always have four to six inches (10-15 cm) of water in the toilet.
Prior to using the sanitation system, it is strongly recommended to flush the toilet
several times and release sufficient water into the tank. If there is not a sufficient
amount of water used during flushing, the waste materials may not evacuate prop-
erly from the drain line to the tank. Clogged tanks and pipes could eventually occur.
When camping you should always have four to six inches (10-15 cm) of water in the
toilet bowl. The toilet system will perform better when water is run for ten to fifteen
seconds after flushing to ensure that the waste will proceed to the bottom of the tank.
Unlike your toilet at home which uses four to seven gallons (18-32 liters) of water per
flush, the average recreation vehicle system uses one to three quarts (1-3 liters).
When hooking up to the sewer drain line at a campground, keep the termination valve on
the waste tank CLOSED until the holding tank is at least 3/4 full. This will provide
sufficient water to assist in the complete draining of the tank. At this time, open the
termination valve to empty the tank and close the valve when the tank is empty. Repeat
this process as needed, but NEVER leave the termination valve open when hooked up to
the park’s sewer system.
Vents
Another important part of the sanitation system are the vents which release air from the
tanks. Each tank has a vent pipe built into the travel trailer through the cabinet, wall and
roof. A vent cap is attached to the roof and must be clear of obstructions to perform as
intended. On some models the vent pipe may be part of the drainage system referred to as
a “wet vent.” This means water flows downward as air flows upward in the same pipe.
Holding Tanks
The final part of your system are the holding tanks. They hold waste and are located
below the floor of your coach. The bath tub and sinks drain into the waste water tank,
also referred to as the “gray” water holding tank. The toilet drains into the sewage
holding tank, also referred to as the “black” waste holding tank. Certain floor plans may
also have the lavatory draining into the waste (black) tank.
SEWAGE (BLACK) TANK PREPARATION
1. Release one to two quarts (1 or 2 liters) of water into the toilet bowl.
2. Following the directions on your toilet chemical bottle by placing the recommended
quantity of holding tank chemical into the bowl.
3. Flush the toilet and allow at least two gallons (8 liters) of water to flow into the tank.

CAUTION: It is important to add enough water to prevent solid waste build
up. Follow these directions each time after emptying your holding tank,
except when winterizing.
SANITATION SYSTEM
Toilets
Two types or models of toilets are used on Jayco campers. One is the Aqua Magic
®
Starlight/Galaxy/Aurora model featuring two foot pedals for flushing. The second type,
the Aqua Magic
®
4, features two levers on the back side to flush the toilet.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS – STARLIGHT/GALAXY/AURORA
Your toilet is efficient and easy to operate.
Prior to utilizing the unit or after dumping
your holding tank, add the proper amount
of deodorant to tank. Adding a deodorant
will help control waste odors in the tank.
After each use, the bowl fills with water
automatically to a depth of two inches (50
mm). To add additional water to the bowl,
step on the small pedal and hold it until
the desired amount of water is in the bowl.
Release the pedal slowly (Fig. 4-13). To
flush, step on the large pedal until the rinse clears the toilet bowl, release the pedal slowly
(Fig. 4-14).
YOU MUST USE AN ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF WATER WHEN
FLUSHING TO PREVENT SOLID WASTE BUILD UP AND PROMOTE PROPER
DRAINAGE.
See Holding Tanks.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS – AQUA MAGIC
®
4
The Aqua Magic
®
4 is equipped with two operating levers
located on the right side when facing the toilet. To flush, pull
the black lever (Fig. 4-18) forward (clockwise) until rinse clears
the bowl and release the lever slowly. Movement of the flush
lever opens the waste valve and allows the waste to pass into
the holding tank. The water fill is activated simultaneously with
the black flush lever. The flush lever should be held open for
several seconds to allow adequate flush water coverage of the
bowl to develop. The white water fill lever (Fig. 4-17) can be
operated independently of the black flush lever if more than the
normal two inch (50 mm) automatic bowl refill water is desired.
YOU MUST USE AN ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF WATER
WHEN FLUSHING TO PREVENT SOLID WASTE BUILD UP AND PROMOTE
PROPER DRAINAGE.
