TOILET
The toilet is efficient and easy to operate. Generally, more water is required only when
flushing solids. Prior to using the sanitation system, it is strongly recommended to flush
the toilet several times to release sufficient water into the holding tank. If there is not a
sufficient amount of water used during flushing, the waste materials may not evacuate
properly from the drain line to the tank. Clogged tanks and pipes could eventually occur.
The toilet system will perform better when water is run for ten to fifteen seconds after
flushing to ensure that the waste will proceed to the bottom of the tank.
Unlike a toilet in a home, which may use up to seven gallons of water per flush, the
average recreation vehicle system uses one to three quarts (1 - 3 liters). For added
convenience and better sanitation system performance, it is advisable to always have four
to six inches (10 - 15 cm) of water in the toilet.
WARNING
It is important to prevent solid waste buildup. Follow the toilet manufacturer’s
recommended instructions each time after emptying the black water holding tank.
CAUTION
To prevent help toilet blockage, always use RV grade single-ply toilet paper. Do not
flush paper towels, diapers, sanitary napkins or other foreign objects down the toilet.
CAUTION
The black tank drain valve must be OPEN any time there is a hose (water supply)
connected to the black tank flush.
CAUTION
Do not leave any hose (water supply) connected to the black tank flush when it is not
in use.
WARNING
Do not use the same hose to fill your fresh (potable) water tank that is used for the
black tank flush.
