JAYCO CLASS A MOTOR HOMES
Unlike a toilet in a home, which may use up to seven gallons of water per flush,
the average recreation vehicle system uses one to three quarts (1 - 3 liters).
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 prevent solid waste buildup. Follow the toilet manufacturer's
recommended instructions each time after emptying the black water holding
tank.
To prevent help toilet blockage, always use RV grade single-ply toilet paper. Do
not flush paper towels, diapers, sanitary napkins or other foreign objects down the
RV toilet.
It is important to add enough water to prevent solid waste buildup. Follow the
directions listed below and in the manufacturer's operator manual.
Sewage (black) tank preparation
1. Release one to two quarts (1 or 2 liters) of water into the toilet bowl.
2. Follow the directions on your toilet chemical bottle (customer supplied), by
placing the recommended quantity of holding tank chemical into the toilet
bowl.
3. Flush the toilet and allow at least two gallons (8 liters) of water to flow into the
holding tank.
Waste (grey) holding tank preparation
No special preparation is required; however, placing a small quantity of chemicals
into this tank (such as baking soda or an approved RV chemical) will reduce odors
from food particles in the system.
Cleaning & Maintenance
The toilet should be cleaned regularly for maximum sanitation and operational
efficiency.
Do not use chlorine (undiluted) or caustic chemicals, such as laundry bleach or
drain opening types, in the toilet system. These products damage the seals in
toilets and dump valves.
For more information
Refer to the manufacturer's operator manual. If you have further questions consult
your RV dealer, the manufacturer or Jayco Customer Service.
