Toilet
Prior to using the sanitation system, it is strongly recommended to flush the toilet several
times to release sufficient water into the holding tank. Generally, more water is required only
when flushing solids.
It is important to prevent solid waste buildup. Follow the toilet manu-
facturer's recommended instructions each time after emptying the black
water holding tank.
To help prevent toilet blockage, always use RV grade single-ply toilet pa-
per. Do not flush paper towels, diapers, sanitary napkins or other foreign
objects down the toilet.
Do not use chlorine (undiluted) or caustic chemicals, such as laundry
bleach or drain opening types, in the toilet system. These products dam-
age the seals in toilets and dump valves.
The toilet system will perform better when water is run for ten to fifteen seconds after flush-
ing to ensure that the waste will proceed to the bottom of the tank.
If there is not a sufficient amount of water used during flushing, the waste materials may
not evacuate properly from the drain line to the tank. Clogged tanks and pipes could eventu-
ally occur. For added convenience and better sanitation system performance, it is advisable
to always have four to six inches (10 - 15 cm) of water in the toilet. It is important to add
enough water to prevent solid waste buildup. The following guidelines will help to prevent
solid waste buildup.
