General Guidelines & Considerations
■ Gray water bypass can be achieved by
plumbing the discharge line in a manner that
gravity can allow liquid to fl ow to the hose
with no upward plumbing.
■ All systems rely on gravity to move the liquid
waste to the pump; therefore, make sure that
the pump inlet is mounted below the RV hold-
ing tank. See line on side of Sani-Con Turbo
system - refer to
Fig. 1-A1
■ Plan the installation so that the pump does
not extend beyond the side of the coach
■ Consider using 1/4-20 threaded rod (4x) and/
or 13" x 13" mounting plate to install unit.
■ Each tank assembly comes with two labels.
One label should be placed in the hose com-
partment; the other should be placed in the
Owner's Manual.
Note: Labels (2x) are specifi c to each tank
based on serial #.
■ If black and gray tanks are heated, treat Sani-
Con Turbo Tank in same manner.
■ Duty Cycle: Intermittent, fi ve minutes continu-
ous operation; 20 minutes off.
■ Gray water plumbing should be 2" - 3" pipe
to provide fastest pumping. 1 1/2" pipe drains
slower than the pump and causes pump to
cavitate during use.
■ It is important to plumb hose avoiding sharp
angles during use or storage.
■ Placement of the hose connection MUST be
serviceable by the customer.
