The provided document is an owner's manual for the VacuFlush Sanitation System, specifically covering the 500 Plus Series, 1000 Series, and Model 706 Toilets. This system is designed to provide a comfortable, efficient, and reliable marine sanitation solution.
The VacuFlush Sanitation System is a Type III Marine Sanitation Device (MSD) certified by the USCG, meaning it's designed to permit toilet operation without direct discharge of untreated waste. This allows for onboard toilet use near swimmers, beaches, or shellfish beds. The core function of the system revolves around a vacuum-assisted flush mechanism that uses freshwater. Unlike saltwater systems, the freshwater flush eliminates unpleasant sulfide odors and extends the lifespan of system components by preventing saltwater and impurities from accumulating.
The system operates by storing vacuum energy in a Vacuum Tank. A Vacuum Switch on the tank monitors the vacuum level. When the vacuum drops after a flush, the switch signals the Vacuum Pump to energize and restore the operating vacuum level, a process that typically takes less than a minute. For smaller crafts, a Vacuum Generator combines the vacuum tank and pump into a single, compact unit, reducing installation time and hose runs.
The Vacuum Pump itself is an electric, straight-through bellows type, designed to efficiently handle both air and liquid, including solids, without clogging. It features two duckbill valves to prevent backflow of waste and vacuum.
Waste is directed to Holding Tanks, which are constructed from thick polyethylene for durability and have no seams. These tanks require a deodorant additive to control odors. A TankWatch® Level Indicator uses micro-float switches to activate an indicator panel, showing the tank's fill level.
For discharge, the system connects to a Dockside Discharge Deck Fitting for pump-out at marinas. An optional overboard discharge pump (T-series SaniPump™) allows for discharge at sea, provided it's outside the three-mile limit and activated by a keyed switch for security. An In-Line Vent Filter (SaniGard™) with activated filter media removes malodors from the holding tank vent before they can offend.
The VacuFlush system is designed for ease of use and comfort.
The manual outlines various maintenance procedures to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the VacuFlush system.
