Recomissioning the Water System
Fill the fresh water tank on the Thetford
Cassette porta potti (model specific) using a
hose or jerrycan until the water in the funnel
reaches the neck. Tank capacity is 15 litres.
Aqua Rinse may be added to improve cleaning
of bowl and flushing of unit.
Replace cap. Swing back the water fill funnel
until it touches the water tank.
Add Aqua Kem (100 ml) into the Cassette (or
120 ml if using Aqua Kem Bio) through the
pour out spout. Add small amount of water
through the pour out spout and replace the
cap. Close the cold taps and ensure all the
drain taps are closed.
It is advisable after storage to flush the water
system initially with a sterilising agent (such as
Milton), and then with water repeating until
the system is well flushed through.
Connect the pump.
Fill the system with water until water flows
freely from the hot taps. About 2 gallons of
water will be required. Close the hot taps.
