SECTION 7
PLUMBING SYSTEM
7 - 14
Unlike a toilet in a home, which may use up to
seven gallons of water per flush, the average
recreation v
ehicle system uses one to three
quarts (1 - 3 liters). For added convenience
and better sanitation system performance, it is
advisable to always have four to six inches
(10 - 15 cm) of water in the toilet.
To prevent help toilet blockage, always use
RV grade single-ply toilet paper. Do not flush
paper towels, diapers, sanitary napkins or
other foreign objects down the RV toilet.
Sewage (black) tank preparation
It is important to add enough water to
prevent solid waste buildup. Follow the
directions listed below and in the
manufacturer’s operator manual
1.
Release on
e to two quarts (1 or 2 liters) of
water into the toilet bowl.
2. Follow the directions on your toilet
chemical bottle (customer supplied), by
placing the recommended quantity of
holding tank chemical into the toilet bowl.
3. Flush the toilet and allow at least two
gallons (8 liters) of water to flow into the
holding tank.
Waste (grey) holding tank preparation
No special preparation is required; however,
placing a small quantity of chemicals into this
tank (such as baking soda or an approved RV
chemical) will reduce odors from food
particles in the system.
Cleaning & Maintenance
The toilet should be cleaned regularly for
maximum sanitation and operational
efficiency. Do not use chlorine (undiluted) or
caustic chemicals, such as laundry bleach or
drain opening types, in the toilet system.
These products damage the seals in toilets
and dump valves.
