Equipment Operation
6-117
The holding tank level needs to be monitored periodically for content
fullness. Do not operate the waste system when the holding tank is
full. Before venturing out on a cruise it is a good idea to have the
holding tank pumped out. Normally when the waste tank is overfull it
may clog the charcoal vent line fi lter.
Since a small amount of water usually remains in the holding tank it
is a good idea to rinse the tank especially after cleaning. Add water to
the toilet bowl along with 8 ounces of manufacturer’s tank deodorant
and cleaner until the discharge is clear. Do not use chlorine based or
caustic cleaners along with drain openers as damage to the seals and
hoses may occur.
Rinsing the pump-out hose at the deck fi tting with a bit of fresh wa-
ter should be done after the marina pump-out equipment hose is re-
moved. This prevents a build up of particles and tissue on the waste
hose.
On electric toilet installations a waste fi lter is connected between the
overboard hull vent and the waste tank. It eliminates the majority
of the ingredients that cause waste system odor. It is recommended
that this fi lter be changed once per year. Refer to the toilet operation
manual for further information.
