Vents
Another important part of the sanitation system are the vents which release air from tanks. Each tank
has a vent pipe built into 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. 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 waste holding
tank. Certain floor plans may also have the lavatory draining into the waste (sewage) tank.
USING TOILET AND TANK SYSTEM
NOTE: For added convenience and better sanitation system performance, it is advisable
to always have four to six inches 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, waste materials may not evacuate properly from the drain line to the tank. A
clogged tank 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 wastes will proceed to the bottom of the tank.
Unlike your toilet at home which uses four to seven gallons (15 to 30 liters) per flush, the average
recreation vehicle system uses one to three quarts (1 to 3 liters).
When hooking up to the sewer drain line in a campground, keep the termination valve on the waste
tankCLOSED until tankis at least 3/4 full. This will provide sufficient water to assist in complete
draining of the tank. At this time, open the termination valve to empty the tank and close the valve
when the tankis empty. Repeat this process as needed, but NEVER leave the termination valve open
when hooked up to the park's sewer system.
SEWAGE TANK PREPARATION
1. Release one to two quarts (.95 to 1.89 liters) of water into the toilet bowl.
2. Following the directions on your toilet chemical bottle by placing the recommended quantity
of holding tankchemical into the bowl.
3. Flush the toilet and allow at least two gallons (7.57 liters) of water to flow into the tank.
I
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.
