The SeaLand 3200 Series All-Ceramic Gravity Discharge Toilet is a sanitation system designed for recreational vehicles and marine applications, offering a blend of household-like comfort and specialized features for mobile environments. This owner's manual provides comprehensive instructions for installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the unit.
Function Description:
The SeaLand 3200 Series toilet operates as a gravity discharge system, utilizing the force of gravity to move waste from the toilet bowl into a holding tank. It features an all-ceramic construction, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing design similar to residential toilets. The toilet is equipped with a flush handle mechanism that controls the water flow and the opening/closing of the flush ball, facilitating efficient waste removal. A key aspect of its design is the integration of a water valve and a vacuum breaker, which manage water supply and prevent backflow into the freshwater system. The system is designed to work with specialized SeaLand deodorants and rapid-dissolving toilet tissue to prevent clogging and control odors in the holding tank, which is crucial for low-water toilet systems.
