Usage Features
The PJN3 Series is designed with several features to enhance usability and convenience:
- Recirculating Flush System: This is a key feature, allowing the unit to reuse water from the waste tank for flushing after filtration. This reduces the need for frequent water refills and is ideal for locations with limited water access. The system includes primary and secondary filters to ensure the flushed water is clean.
- Foot Pump Operation: The flush mechanism is operated by a foot pump, providing a hands-free and hygienic flushing experience.
- Ventilation Stack: A 4-inch diameter vent stack is installed through the roof and into the holding tank to manage odors and provide ventilation.
- Fly Screens: Each of the three sidewall panels includes two vent screens to prevent insects from entering while allowing air circulation.
- Slide Latch and Door Pull: The door is equipped with a slide latch and a robust door pull for secure closure and easy opening.
- Door Check Cable: A door check cable is installed to prevent the door from swinging open too wide, protecting the hinges and jamb.
- Door Closure: A door closure mechanism with a spring cable ensures the door automatically closes after use.
- Toilet Seat: A standard toilet seat and lid are provided for comfort and hygiene.
- Urinal (Optional): The unit can be equipped with a urinal, which drains into the holding tank. The manual notes that a sink installation on the left side wall would omit this step. The redesigned PolyJohn Urinal features higher side walls and no internal lip to minimize splash-back and aid in cleaning.
- Toilet Paper Dispenser: A double-roll toilet paper dispenser is mounted on the right wall panel. It can accommodate small core or standard rolls.
- Mirror: A mirror is mounted in a square recess on the inside of the door for user convenience.
- Convenience Hover Handle: A handle is mounted on the inside of the door for user support.
- Optional Accessories: The manual highlights several optional accessories to enhance the user experience, including:
- Liquid Soap Dispenser (PSD1-1000): For hand hygiene.
- Interior Shelf (SU3-0002PJ / SU3-0001F): For placing personal items.
- Deodorizing Packages: To manage odors effectively.
- Sinks: Various sink models are available, with gray water draining into the waste tank.
- Foam Dispenser: For hand sanitizer.
- Paper Towel Dispenser: For hand drying.
Maintenance Features
The PJN3 Series is designed for straightforward maintenance, with clear instructions provided in the manual:
- Cleaning: All surfaces and component parts can be cleaned with a mild soap. Minor scratches and abrasions can be addressed with a mild abrasive cleaner (e.g., "Soft Scrub") containing calcium carbonate, hypochlorite bleach, and detergents, followed by rinsing and buffing with conventional wax. An industrial hot air gun can be used to hide some light scratches.
- Waste Tank Charging: For each new use or after emptying, the waste tank needs to be charged with approximately 5 gallons (19 liters) of fresh water.
- Deodorizer Application: Deodorizers (often blue chemicals) are crucial for breaking down waste and controlling odors. They dissolve in the water charge.
- Waste Disposal: Waste must be vacuumed out by a local portable restroom operator or disposed of at an RV dump station if the tank is equipped with a dump valve.
- Parts Replacement: All parts are available as replacements, and customers can order them from PolyJohn or a local representative.
- Screen Replacement: Broken screens can be replaced by drilling out rivets, sliding out the old screen, inserting a new one, and re-riveting.
- Urinal Modification: For older tanks, installing the new urinal design requires specific rivets, washers, and a cap.
- Warranty: PolyJohn offers a 3-year product warranty on major plastic parts (front, wall panels, roof, and tank) of portable restrooms, covering material or workmanship damages. Sinks, tanks, trailers, and sanistands have a 1-year limited warranty, with components having a 90-day limited warranty. The warranty is voided by improper assembly, unauthorized modification, misuse, incompatible chemicals, vandalism, or accident.
- Shipping Damage Protocol: The manual emphasizes inspecting shipments immediately upon arrival for visible and concealed damages. Damages must be reported within 5 business days of delivery to file a claim.
- Warranty Claim Process: A clear online process is outlined for filing warranty claims, requiring contact information, invoice details, product serial numbers, and images of affected products.
The manual also includes important regulatory information regarding Proposition 65 warnings for chemicals like 4-Vinylcyclohexene and titanium dioxide, as well as compliance with REACH standards and Reduction of Toxics in Packaging laws.
