ELECTRIC TOILET
Periodic maintenance is normally not essential other than
cleaning and lubricating with the approved brand toilet
cleaner and conditioner which can be ordered from your
Regal dealer, marine outlet store or on the internet.
Before performing any service, flush the toilet long enough
to ensure all waste is emptied from the discharge hose.
Close both inlet and discharge (if applicable) seacocks and
put a placard on each to guard against accidential opening
and flooding while service is being performed.
Check your toilet owner’s paperwork for information on
available repair kits, parts lists and service procedures.
OVERBOARD DISCHARGE PUMP
Periodically check all clamps and fittings for tightness. If
pump access is required, make sure power to the pump is
turned off. Place a collector tray underneath the pump inlet
and outlet hoses. Wear rubber gloves to protect yourself.
If subjected to freezing climates, winterize the toilet system
properly. It is best to leave the system completely drained
and dry for extended decommissioning periods.
Troubleshooting tips:
1. Pump operates but no waste is being pumped.
A. Check that all connections are airtight and secure.
B. The seacock is open. The handle should be in-line with
the fitting not at 90 degrees to it.
C. Clamping ring screws are tight and diaphragm is fitted
correctly.
D. Diaphragm is in working order.
2. Pump will not operate.
A. Check fuse. Always figure out why the fuse blew before
replacing it. Normally it is a case of a closed seacock or
blocked lines.
B. Check electrical connections at the key switch on the
monitor panel and the pump. Normally 12 volts should be
present at the “on” and “start” key switch positions. In
the start position 12 volts should be present at the pump.
Use a volt meter or test light to perform the above checks.
C. Pump malfunctioning. Contact a Regal dealer.
