4800 SERIES VACUFLUSH TOILETS
INSTALLATION – GENERAL INFORMATION (cont’d)
Holding Tanks
VacuFlush toilets operate with most holding tank or
treatment systems. When installed with a holding
tank, the maximum capacity of the tank should be
large enough to avoid the inconvenience of frequent
discharges. A 30-gallon tank (114-liter) will become
full in about 90 ushes.
Seacocks
Seacocks are required by various marine
regulations. Only full-ow, marine quality valves
are recommended. Some regulations require the
seacocks be congured so they can be locked in
a closed position. Seacocks MUST be installed
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Electrical Requirements
Refer to wiring diagram on Parts List/Wiring Diagram

DEODORANTS AND SPECIAL TISSUE
Your VacuFlush toilet system may require the regular addition of a deodorant product to reduce malodors and to
help break down holding tank contents. Several factors should be considered in selecting a deodorant product.
Liquid or Granulated. Liquid products work more quickly by readily going into solution. Granulated powder
formulations have the advantage of requiring less storage space and are less likely to leak if the package is
inadvertently damaged.
Formaldehyde versus Non-Formaldehyde. Dometic manufactures both types of deodorants. Generally
speaking, formaldehyde formulas control odor very effectively at all temperatures and with all degrees of water
hardness. Both SeaLand
®
Environment-Friendly and Clean ‘n Green™ brands, which are formaldehyde-free, are
similarly effective.
How Much Deodorant and How to Add It. The deodorant is added directly into the toilet bowl, then ushed
into the holding tank. Follow bottle or package instructions. Conditions of extremely warm weather, longer waste
holding time and larger tank capacities may require more deodorant treatment. Also, to maintain optimum
efciency in odor control, the waste holding tank should be cleaned thoroughly at least once or more each season
depending on use.
Why Not Use Household Toilet Paper in Your Toilet. Household tissues often contain adhesives which bond
together the paper bers from which the tissue is made. The adhesives prevent the tissue from breaking apart, and
their use in “ultra-low ow” systems can cause system clogging. SeaLand tissue is especially designed for use in
low water toilet systems. Its rapid-dissolving properties minimize the amount of residual paper in the holding tank
and allow deodorizers to work more efciently.
SeaLand Brand versus Other Brands. We constantly strive to provide our system owners with effective products
that have minimal environmental impact and good value. Many deodorant products do not measure up to our
standards of performance and value.
