JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 8 – PLUMBING SYSTEM
8-19
The toilet system will perform better when water is allowed to run for ten to fifteen
seconds after flushing to ensure that the waste will proceed to the bottom of the tank.
Simply hold the lever down to run water into the tank. Unlike a toilet in a home, which
uses four to seven gallons (18-32 liters) 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 bowl.
It is important to add enough water to prevent solid waste buildup. The following
guidelines will help to prevent solid waste buildup.
Sewage (black) tank preparation:
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
supplied), 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 flow into the
holding tank.
Cleaning & Maintenance
The toilet should be cleaned regularly for maximum sanitation and operational efficiency.
For detailed information refer to the manufacturer’s operator manual.
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
Do not use chlorine (undiluted) or caustic chemicals, such as laundry bleach or drain
opening types, in the toilet system. These products damage the seals in toilets and
dump valves.
