Toilet (if so equipped)
Prior to using the sanitation system, it is strongly recommended to ush the toilet several
times to release sucient water into the holding tank. Generally, more water is required only
when ushing solids.
The toilet system will perform better when water is run for ten to fteen seconds after ush-
ing to ensure that the waste will proceed to the bottom of the tank.
If there is not a sucient amount of water used during ushing, the waste materials may not
evacuate properly from the drain line to the tank. Clogged tanks and pipes could eventually
occur. 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. It is important to add
enough water to prevent solid waste buildup. The following guidelines will help to prevent
solid waste buildup.
1. Release one to two quarts (1 or 2 liters) of water into the toilet bowl.
2. Follow the directions on your (approved RV) toilet chemical bottle (customer sup-
plied), by placing the recommended quantity of holding tank chemical into the toilet
bowl.
3. Flush the toilet and allow at least two gallons (8 liters) of water to ow into the holding
tank.
The toilet should be cleaned regularly for maximum sanitation and operational eciency.
For detailed information refer to the manufacturer’s operator manual.
It is important to prevent solid waste buildup. Follow the toilet manu-
facturer’s recommended instructions each time after emptying the black
water holding tank.
To help prevent toilet blockage, always use RV grade single-ply toilet pa-
per. Do not ush paper towels, diapers, sanitary napkins or other foreign
objects down the toilet.
Do not use chlorine (undiluted) or caustic chemicals, such as laundry
bleach or drain opening types, in the toilet system. These products dam-
age the seals in toilets and dump valves.
Use only propylene glycol based, non-toxic antifreeze when storing the toilet dur-
ing freezing conditions.
Never us automotive antifreeze or windshield washer solvent to winterize.
Make sure that both the entire supply and discharge systems are thoroughly win-
terized to ensure complete protection for your system.
