FLUSH OPERATION TIMING CHART
WINTERIZING
At the end of each season, the VacuFlush toilet system must be winterized for storage. The following procedure should be
used:
1. Pump out holding tank.
2. Thoroughly flush system with fresh water.
3. Drain freshwater tank.
4. Add freshwater antifreeze to freshwater tank.
5. Flush freshwater 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.
6. Turn off electrical power.
CAUTION: The use of freshwater antifreeze that contains alcohol will result in damage to your
sanitation system. Only use propylene glycol freshwater antifreeze that
does not contain alcohol.
PROPER CLEANING – TOILET BOWL AND SEAL
Fig. B
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 our 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
cleaner. If you cannot find our brand in your area, contact SeaLand Product Customer
Service for your nearest dealer. If it 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. Put Mode switch in SERVICE position. Flush ball will open automatically.
2. Apply cleanser onto the seal cleaning tool (supplied with new toilet), 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. Wait 2-3 minutes.
4. Pull up on flush handle to let water flow into bowl. Use cleaning tool and water to rinse
