Plumbing Systems
To help prevent a toilet blockage:
• Before use: FLUSH the toilet several times, releasing
enough water to cover the bottom of the holding tank.
• ALWAYS maintain four to six inches (10-15 cm)
of water in the toilet for better performance.
• ALWAYS use RV grade, single-ply toilet paper.
• NEVER flush any foreign objects down the RV toilet
(ie. hygiene products, cleaning wipes, paper towels, diapers)
Cleaning and maintenance
• CLEAN the toilet regularly.
• DO NOT use undiluted chlorine or caustic chemicals
(ie. laundry bleach, chemical drain openers) in the RV toilet.
◦ These products will DAMAGE the seals
in the toilet and dump valves.
• Applying petroleum jelly to a sticky toilet
ball valve will provide waterproof lubrication
without damaging the seals.
Black & Grey Water Holding Tanks
Black water (sewage) tank preparation
• Adding an RV holding tank deodorizer (customer supplied)
will help break down tank contents and control odors.
DO THE FOLLOWING
• BEFORE the first use, and AFTER dumping the
holding tanks (unless you are winterizing your RV) :
1. RELEASE one to two quarts (1-2 liters) of water
into the toilet bowl.
2. ADD the tank deodorizer (customer supplied) to your
black water tank per the packaging instructions.
3. FLUSH the toilet and allow at least two gallons (8 liters)
of water to flow into the holding tank.
Grey water (waste water) tank preparation
No special preparation is required. If needed, control odors from
the grey water system by adding a small quantity of baking soda
or RV holding tank deodorizer down the sink or shower drain.
