WINTERIZING
At the end of each season, the VacuFlush toilet should
be winterized for storage by either draining or using
potable water-safe antifreeze in the system.
To drain:
1. Thoroughly flush system with fresh water.
2. Empty holding tank.
3. Shut off water supply to toilet, and remove inlet
waterline (Fig. C).
Do not remove brass cap on bottom of valve.
4. Press flush lever until all water is drained from toilet.
To use antifreeze:
1. Drain potable water tank.
2. Add freshwater antifreeze to potable water tank.
3. Flush potable water antifreeze and water mixture through toilet and into the waste holding
tank. Each installation is different, so amounts may vary. User discretion is required to
assure adequate protection.
4. Empty holding tank.
NOTE: Use nontoxic antifreeze designated for potable water systems. (See vehicle owner’s
manual.) Never use automotive-type antifreeze in freshwater systems.
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.
BOWL CLEANING: For stubborn stains, use SeaLand
®
Bowl and Seal Cleaner (Fig. A). It’s manufactured
especially for use with SeaLand and VacuFlush toilets.
In certain locations where water is hard, a build-up of
lime may dull the toilet bowl finish. Restore the shine
with this SeaLand cleaner. If you cannot find it in your
area, contact Dometic for your nearest dealer. If the
cleaner is not available, you can also use Bar Keepers
Friend
®
cleanser. It is not necessary to vigorously scrub
with either product. Please follow label instructions.
SEAL CLEANING: After an extended time, mineral
deposits from hard water can build up under the edge
of the rubber bowl seal, resulting in a slow leakdown of
water from the bowl. To prevent this mineral build-up,
periodically clean under the bowl seal with SeaLand
Bowl and Seal Cleaner (Fig. B).
1. Shut off water supply.
2. Apply cleaner onto the seal cleaning tool (supplied
with new toilet), open the flush ball by pressing on flush lever, and scrub under the seal.
Make sure to push bristles between bottom of seal and top of flush ball surface to scrub all
parts of seal that come into contact with flush ball.
3. Close ball and wait 2-3 minutes.
4. Open flush ball. Use brush and water to rinse away cleanser and loosened deposits.
