C. VacuFlush
Sanitation System
®
The VacuFlush
sanitation system is available on
®
certain models. The system eliminates the unpleasant
sulfide odors which plague saltwater systems. Flush
water is no longer drawn through the through-hull
fittings, seacock, and vented loop. It also extends the
life of the system components by eliminating salt
water and impurities from accumulating in the system
over time.
The VacuFlush
toilet operates in a different way from
®
other marine toilets. VacuFlush
amount of water (a little more than a pint) per flush in
addition to a simple vacuum. The toilet is connected
to the fresh water system. Fresh water is the key to an
odor free bathroom compartment. VacuFlush
are equipped with an integrated vacuum breaker
which prevents the possible contamination of the
potable/fresh water supply. See Figures J16 & J17.
Also refer to the manufacturer's literature included in
the owner's packet.
NOTICE
The VacuFlush
(TOILET) switch located in the
®
head must be ON in order for the toilet to flush
& recharge.
To operate:
1. To add water to the toilet before using, raise flush
lever until desired water level is reached. Gener-
ally, more water is required only when flushing
solids. See Figure J16.
2. To flush toilet, press flush lever sharply down to
the floor until contents clear bowl. A sharp popping
noise is normal when the vacuum seal is broken
and the flushing action begins. Be sure to hold
lever down for 3 seconds. If flush lever is
accidentally released before waste clears bowl,
do not attempt to flush toilet again until vacuum
pump stops running. A small amount of water
should remain in the bowl after flushing.
3. Do not dispose of sanitary napkins or other
non-dissolving items in toilet, such as facial tissue
or paper towels. These items can cause plugging
of the system. Refer to the "Deodorants and
Special Tissue" section in the manufacturer's
manual for more information.

Sanitation System
®
The toilet's wall switch control has two primary
functions. See Figure J18.
1) An ADD WATER button – Adds approximately
0.5L of water each time it is pushed momentarily.
Electronics prevent overfill.
2) A FLUSH button – Starts an add water and
macerate sequence that runs the motor and adds
water twice for maximum cleansing and minimum
water usage. Sequence ends with a small amount
of water added to the bowl to provide an odor trap.
Recommended to minimize water use and for
liquid waste disposal without adding water.
