Sanitation System
Toilets
The toilet used on Open Range’s recreational vehicles features a foot
pedal for flushing. The second type is referred to as the
Aqua Magic V.
The toilet is available with two levers for flush operation or with foot
flush operation.
Prior to using your toilet, be sure to add proper amount of deodorant
chemical into toilet with water. Flush contents into tank plus 2 or 3 gallons
of water.
After each flush, about 2” of water will be in the bowl, which is fine for
travel. For best operating function, keep 3-5” of water in bowl. This assists
flushing procedure. Always flush for 10 seconds or more to ensure all
solids and wastes move into tank and are not held in drainage pipes.
OPERATION: Note the photos below showing movement of pedal
downward to 9 o’clock position, you will add water to bowl. Push downward
further to 8 o’clock position to flush toilet’s contents to drain into waste
tank. Release pedal slowly to close flush operation.
Unlike your toilet in your house which uses 4 to 7 gallons of water per
flush, a recreational vehicle uses 2 to 3 quarts to save water and space.
When insufficient water is used during flushing, waste materials may not
evacuate properly from drain lines to tank, causing “clogging” in pipe.
When hooked up to sewer drain at a campground, ALWAYS keep
termination valve CLOSED
until tank is at least 3/4 full. This will provide
sufficient water to assist in complete draining of tank.
