Vacuflush® Toilet - Regal 2700 Owner's Manual

Equipment Operation
Typical Vacuflush® Toilet
The vacuflush head uses a combination of vacuum suction and water
flow from the fresh water tank to clear the head of waste. Before using
the Vacu-flush system turn the head circuit breaker to the "on" position
at the main DC control panel.
Make sure that there is always a small amount of water left in the toilet
head bowl. This acts as a trap and will reduce unwanted odors.
Before leaving the boat for an extended period, flush the head for at
least 10 seconds. This ensures that waste has cleared the sanitation
transfer hose and has entered the holding tank.
Waste left within the transfer hose tends to dry out and harden. This
could restrict the internal size of the hose and hamper future operation.
The system components including the hose are formulated for the
transfer of sanitary waste only. Do not allow the following items in
the system: Strong acid or caustics such as drain openers, petroleum solvents or
fuels, alcohol based products such as antifreeze and pine oil products along with
sanitary napkins and baby diapers.
System vacuum is monitored by a switch located on the outside of
the vacuum generator's tank. When the switch senses a vacuum drop,
it automatically signals the pump to energize and bring the vacuum
back to the operating level. This is normally a two minute process. In a
properly operating system, the stored vacuum will "leak" down between
flushes, causing the vacuum pump to run for a short period. This is
normal. The pump should not run for more than once every (3) hours
after the last flush.
To operate Vacuflush® head:
1. Activate the head breaker on the main DC panel.
2. Activate the fresh water system breaker on the main DC panel since
the fresh water tank is the main source for the vacuflush system.
3. Lift the toilet lever until the desired water level is reached. Generally
the system requires more water for solid liquid waste. See figure 1.
