4.2 VacuFlush system maintenance

Maintenance procedures vary widely and depend on factors such as frequency of use, quality of

ﬂushing water, etc. The chart provides a general guideline for keeping your toilet system ready for

use at any time.

Maintenance Procedure Service Interval Notes

ROUTINE

Check all clamped hose

joints below water line for

leaks

Monthly —

Toilets

4.4 Clearing blockage in toilet base

➤Turn oﬀ water to the toilet.

➤Open the ﬂush ball in Service Mode.

➤Pull the foreign material from the one-inch diameter oriﬁce at the bottom of the base or, using

a small diameter blunt rod, attempt to push the blockage through the oriﬁce.

4.5 Locating potential vacuum leaks in base assembly

The VacuFlush toilet is part of a vacuum system that includes a vacuum pump and vacuum tank,

or a vacuum generator and discharge plumbing lines. If a vacuum leak is suspected, special

equipment will isolate the source of the leak. If the toilet is determined to be the source of the

leak, there are three possible areas to investigate:

➤Flush ball and ﬂush-ball seal. See “Water does not stay in toilet bowl (leaks between ﬂush ball

and seal)” on page 12.

➤O-rings on the rotor sha.

➤O-rings around the bottom of the toilet base assembly.

Sources 1 and 2 will require the base assembly to be removed from the toilet and partially

disassembled.

4.6 Preparing the toilet for an extended period of non-use

Toilet system sanitation hoses should be cleared if the toilet will not be used for more than two

weeks.

➤Flush the toilet in Normal Mode.

➤Add 4 oz. (120 ml) of liquid biodegradable laundry detergent. The detergent should not

contain bleach or other environmentally harmful substances.

➤Open the ﬂush ball in Service mode. Hold the Add Water switch down for about two minutes.

➤Release the Add Water switch and return the Service Mode switch to the Normal position.

➤Turn oﬀ the water supply to the toilet.

➤Flush the toilet without water, allowing the vacuum pump to shut oﬀ aer the ﬂush. Repeat

three times. (This procedure will minimize any remaining water in the sanitation hoses.)

➤Turn oﬀ power to the vacuum pump.

➤Completely pump out the holding tank

IIf the system will be subjected to freezing temperatures, please follow the above

procedure, then proceed to “4.7 Winterizing the toilet” on page 8.

IIf people will not be using the boat or RV for an extended period of time (vacation,

maintenance, oﬀ-season, etc.), or in the event of a long electrical power interruption,

electrical power and water supply to the toilet and the vacuum generator should be shut

oﬀ.

4.7 Winterizing the toilet

RISK OF POISONING: Do not use an automotive-type antifreeze in fresh-water

systems. Failure to comply could result in property damage, serious injury, or death.

IThe amount of antifreeze needed may vary, depending on the installation.

At the end of each season, the VacuFlush toilet system should be winterized for storage. The

following procedure should be used:

➤Thoroughly ﬂush the system with fresh water.

9EN

Toilets

➤Drain the potable tank.

➤Empty the holding tank.

➤Add potable-water antifreeze to the freshwater tank.

➤Flush the potable-water antifreeze and water mixture through the toilet and into the entire

plumbing system. Each installation is diﬀerent, so amounts may vary. User discretion is

required to assure adequate protection.

➤Turn oﬀ power to the toilet and all other vacuum system components.

➤Empty the holding tank of any remaining contents.
