Page 4: Toilet System Components
ToileT SYSTeM CoMPonenTS A VacuFlush 4800 series toilet is part of a total sanitation system that includes a vacuum source and usually a holding tank. Because of the wide J-Series variation of boat types and models, Dometic Vacuum produces a wide range of vacuum-generating Generator components, holding tanks and accessories. The VacuFlush system diagram (above) provides a general orientation to a typical vacuum sanita- tion system. Vacuum Source: A variety of SeaLand vacuum sources provide vacuum energy to move the waste S-Series from the toilet to the holding tank. All consist of Low-profile a vacuum storage reservoir and vacuum pump. -

Thoroughly flush system with fresh water. 3. Drain freshwater tank. 4. Add freshwater antifreeze to freshwater tank. 5.

Connections can be made either through the floor or out the rear of the toilet above the floor. Flexible hoses that contain sewage from any marine toilet will create unpleasant odor that perme- ates through the wall of the hose. Avoid this condition by installing the tank in the lowest position in the boat so that hose contents will drain into the holding tank. Rigid PVC pipe can also be installed in runs that hold trapped sewage. The marine sanitation hose most resistant to odor permeation is OdorSafe Plus hose, available from your local SeaLand product dealer. ® VenteD loops Ventilated or vented loops are intended to prevent back siphonage of sea water into the toilet. If the toilet rim is below the waterline at ANY time in ANY conditions of heel, load or trim, a vented loop MUST be installed in the hose run at a point at least 8-inch (20.3 cm) above the waterline in all such conditions. See vented loop fitting manufacturer’s recommendation for further information.

Page 10: Deodorants And Special Tissue
Your SeaLand toilet system may require the regular addition of a deodorant product to reduce malodors and to help break down holding tank contents. Several factors should be considered in selecting a deodorant product. liquid or Granulated. Liquid products work more quickly by readily going into solution. Granulated powder formulations have the advantage of requiring less storage space and are less likely to leak if the package is inadvertently damaged. Formaldehyde versus non-Formaldehyde. Dometic manufactures both types of deodorants. Generally speaking, formaldehyde formulas control odor very effectively at all temperatures and with all degrees of water hardness. Both SeaLand Environment-Friendly and Clean ‘n Green™ brands, ® which are formaldehyde-free, are similarly effective. -
