FRESH WATER TOILET

The fresh water toilet in your motor home is

very similar to the household type, except that it

is designed to use only a small amount of water

per flush. It uses a high velocity jet of water, pro-

ducing a swirl effect, to efficiently cleanse the

bowl. And since each flush uses fresh water, no

special chemicals are required other than a

deodorizing agent, if necessary.

1. To add water to the toilet before using, lift

the flush pedal until the desired water level is

reached. Generally, more water is required

only when flushing solids.

2. To flush the toilet, press the flush pedal

down until sewage leaves the toilet and bowl

is rinsed clean.

3. Release the flush pedal. A small amount of

water should remain in the bowl.

Please refer to the manufacturer’s informa-

tion supplied with the toilet for further operating

and maintenance instructions.

Important “Don’ts”

• Don’t use facial tissue or regular toilet tissue

in the RV toilet. These will not disintegrate

sufficiently and will often cling to the sides

of the holding tank. Toilet tissue made spe-

cifically for use in RV toilets and holding

tanks is available at most RV supply centers.

• Don’t dispose of sanitary napkins or other

non-dissolving items in the toilet.

• Don’t put automotive antifreeze or caustic

chemicals, such as laundry bleach or heavy

detergents into the toilet or holding tank.

These products may damage plastic or rub-

ber parts in the system.

Cleaning the Toilet

The toilet should be cleaned regularly for

maximum sanitation and operating efficiency. If

an odor is apparent from the toilet:

1. Clean the toilet bowl with a mild bathroom

cleaner. Do not allow cleaners to set in the

bowl for long periods of time to avoid dam-

aging the seals. Do not use caustic or abra-

sive cleaners in the toilet.

2. Dump and rinse holding tank.

3. Add odor control chemical in amount speci-

fied after cleaning and every few days during

use.

4. Remove the water line from the base of the

toilet and clean the screen.

5. If the flush valve becomes stiff after

extended use, it may be lubricated with a

silicone spray. Turn the water pump off and

operate flush pedal to drain water from the

toilet bowl. Spray silicone lubricant onto

flush valve inside bowl and operate flush

pedal a few times to ensure free operation.

See instructions in Section 10 to prepare the

toilet for storage in freezing conditions.
