VACUFLUSH SYSTEM COMPONENTS VacuFlush Toilet: VacuFlush vacuum toilets operate differently compared to other toilets. The vacuum system uses a small amount of water (a little more than a pint or .5 liter) per ﬂush in addition to a simple vacuum. The toilet is connected to a pressurized freshwater system. Fresh water is the key to an odorfree bathroom compartment. 5000 series toilets are equipped with an integral check valve which prevents the possible contamination of the freshwater supply.

PROPER BOWL AND SEAL CLEANING The VacuFlush toilet should be cleaned regularly for maximum sanitation and operational efﬁciency. You can clean it just as you would a household toilet. Do not use caustic chemicals, such as drain-opening types, as they will damage the seals. Fig. A BOWL CLEANING: For stubborn stains, use SeaLand® Bowl and Seal Cleaner (Fig. A). It’s manufactured especially for use with SeaLand and VacuFlush toilets.

CLEARING DISCHARGE LINES Sanitation hoses should be cleared if toilet will not be needed for an extended period of time (more than two weeks). 1. Fill toilet bowl with water and add 4 oz. (120 ml) of biodegradable laundry detergent (should NOT contain bleach). 2. Flush toilet, holding pedal down for about two minutes. Close ﬂush ball. 3. Turn off water supply to toilet. 4. Flush the toilet without water, allowing the vacuum pump to shut off after the ﬂush. Repeat three times.
PAGE 7
DEODORANTS AND SPECIAL TISSUE Your SeaLand sanitation system requires the regular addition of a deodorant product to reduce malodors and to help break down holding tank contents. Several factors should be considered in selecting a deodorant product. Liquid or Granulated. Liquid products work more quickly by readily going into solution. Granulated powder formulations have the advantage of requiring less storage space and are less likely to leak if the package is inadvertently damaged.
