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 odor-
free bathroom compartment. 5000 series toilets are
equipped with an integral check valve which prevents
the possible contamination of the freshwater supply.
Vacuum Generator: The vacuum generator combines
the Vacuum Tank and Vacuum Pump in one unit. It
greatly reduces installation time and eliminates the
hose between the tank and pump. Their compact
size makes them especially well-suited to smaller
installation spaces.
Vacuum Tank: The vacuum tank stores vacuum.
System vacuum level is monitored by a vacuum
switch on the vacuum tank. When the toilet is flushed,
this switch senses a vacuum drop in the system and
automatically signals the pump to bring the vacuum to
operating level. This process is normally completed in
less than one minute.
Vacuum Pump: The VacuFlush vacuum pump is a
straight-through bellows type made of long-lasting
polypropylene. Drawing only 4 to 6 amps of current
at 12 VDC, this unique pump is both an efficient air
and liquid pump that handles solids without a problem.
Two duckbill valves on each side of the pump chamber
maintain vacuum and prevent backflow of waste.
VacuStat™ Indicator Panel (optional): Monitors the
status of vacuum for proper toilet operation. Brushed
metallic finish complements bathroom decor. Item
numbers 313700012 (12 VDC), 313700024 (24 VDC).
VacuFlush Status Panel (optional): Includes
two-light status panel indicating the system is “OK to
Flush” or “Do Not Flush”, and circuit breaker to shut
down system at night. Item numbers 313500012
(12 VDC) or 313500024 (24 VDC).
TankWatch
®
Level Indicator (optional): The Tank-
Watch unit utilizes micro-float switches which activate
an indicator panel. The inspection cap in the holding
tank contains the micro-float switch units. The adjust-
able probe assemblies are flexible polybutylene tubing
and are designed to flex when tank contents move.
Vacuum Generator Shut-down Relay (optional,
not shown): This relay can automatically shut down
power to the vacuum toilet system to prevent
overfilling of the holding tank.
In-Line Vent Filter (optional): The SaniGard
TM
vent
filter has special odor-removing filter materials to
help keep your vehicle smelling clean and pleasant.
Heavier-than-air malodors accumulate in the holding
tank. Activated filter media remove these odors before
they offend. Each cartridge is good for an entire
season. Replacement cartridges are available.
