Warnings
Dometic vacuum toilet systems must be installed according to Dometic’s recommended procedures. Dometic also recommends that a qualified marine technician or electrician install or service this product. Equipment damage, injury to personnel or death could result from improper installation. DOMETIC SANITATION CORPORATION ACCEPTS NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT, OR INJURY OR DEATH TO PERSONNEL
THAT MAY RESULT FROM IMPROPER INSTALLATION, SERVICE OR OPERATION OF THIS PRODUCT.
WARNING!
HAZARD OF FLOODING – If the toilet system is connected to ANY through-the-hull fittings, properly installed seacocks MUST be installed in all piping connected to through-the-hull fittings. Seacocks MUST be easily accessible to all users of the toilet system or secondary valves fitted in hoses where they are easily accessible. ALWAYS close seacocks when toilet system is not in use (even if boat is unattended for a brief period. All valves MUST be full bore valves and marine quality. Screw-to-close gate valves are not recommended. Failure to comply can result in flooding which can cause loss of property and life.
WARNING!
HAZARD OF FLOODING – If toilet is connected to ANY through-the-hull fittings, ALL flexible hoses must be of marine sanitation quality and must be secured to ANY fittings (such as those at seacock, vented loop or toilet) with two stainless steel, worm-drive hose band clamps at each connection. Connections MUST be checked frequently for integrity. Failure to comply can result in flooding which can cause loss of property and life.
WARNING!
HAZARD OF FLOODING – If toilet rim is below the waterline at ANY time (during any conditions of heel, load or trim) and is connected to ANY through- the-hull fittings, properly positioned ventilated (vented) loops MUST be installed in intake* or discharge piping to prevent potential back siphonage of seawater into the boat. Failure to do so can result in flooding which can cause loss of property and life.
* if connected to raw water
WARNING!
HAZARD OF FLOODING – If the toilet uses fresh water for flushing and is connected directly or indirectly to a shoreside municipal water system at ANY time, shoreside water connections
MUST be disconnected if the boat is unattended (even for a brief period). Failure to comply can result in flooding which can cause loss of property and life.
WARNING!
HAZARD OF FLOODING – If toilet uses raw water for flushing at ANY time, a raw water pump controlled by an automatically operating demand switch MUST NOT be installed. If the onboard water valve or any plumbing connections were to leak, the automatically operated pump would start and could flood the boat. Failure to comply can cause loss of property and life.
WARNING!
HAZARD OF FLOODING – Before beginning any work on this product, be sure that all electrical power to the unit has been turned off. Failure to do so can result in flooding which can cause loss of property and life.
WARNING!
HAZARD OF SHOCK OR FIRE –
Always use recommended fuse, circuit breaker and wire size. Failure to do so can result in fire that can cause the loss of property and life.
CAUTION: Overfilling the holding tank can create serious damage to the sanitation system, such as rupturing the holding tank and releasing tank contents into the bilge. To prevent this possibility, Dometic strongly recommends the addition of a “full” tank safety shut-down relay to the toilet’s incoming
electric power wiring. The “full” signal from the holding tank can be generated by an optional Dometic Tank Monitor system.

A VacuFlush 4800 series toilet is part of a total sanitation system that includes a vacuum source and usually a holding tank. Because of the wide variation of boat types and models, Dometic produces a wide range of vacuum-generating components, holding tanks and accessories. The VacuFlush system diagram (above) provides a general orientation to a typical
vacuum sanitation system.
Vacuum Source: A variety of Dometic vacuum sources provide vacuum energy to move the waste from the toilet to the holding tank. All consist of a vacuum storage reservoir and vacuum pump. These can be separate or combined units (vacuum generators).
Holding Tanks: Many boats are equipped with a holding tank, and many of those are SeaLand holding tank systems. SeaLand tanks are available in many capacities, and can include pre-installed vacuum generator, tank level monitor, discharge pump,
and other accessories to enhance the comfort and convenience of marine sanitation.

Marine Sanitation Regulations
All boats with fixed toilets in U.S. waters and in the waters of some other countries are required to have an operable marine sanitation device (MSD). The VacuFlush vacuum sanitation system, when installed in a boat, is a holding tank or Type III system as defined by the U.S. Coast Guard. Type III systems permit operation of the toilet without direct discharge of untreated waste after every flush. Type III systems can be discharged at marina dockside pump-out stations or, if in coastal waters, a minimum of three miles offshore. Overboard discharge capability must remain secured while within the three-mile limit. The overboard discharge pump is activated by a keyed switch in the toilet compartment. This key should be removed at all times except when discharge pump is operating.
Sewage from any source should not be discharged directly into our waters. If you are interested in learning more about this issue, please visit our website at www.DometicSanitation.com.
Important Information Before Operation
1.Make sure all guests understand toilet and seacock operation and that the flushing instruction label is easy for guests to read. The label is located under the seat.
2. |
Remember, the vacuum pump starts automatically. Shut off electrical power to |
|
the toilet system before servicing and do not leave the boat with the toilet system |
|
electrical power on. |
3. |
Never use solvents, alcohol, chlorine or caustic chemicals, such as laundry bleach |
|
or drain-opening types, in the toilet system. |
4. |
If the toilet system does not operate properly, refer to the Troubleshooting section |
|
and repair as necessary. If problem persists, contact your local VacuFlush dealer or |
|
see the Customer Service section of this manual. |
Label located under toilet seat.
System Start-up
1.Fill freshwater tank.
2.Turn on electrical power and water supply to toilet system.
3.Flush water into system by flushing the toilet five times (press Flush switch and allow each flush cycle to complete until vacuum pump stops, about 60-90 seconds each).
Toilet Operation
1.Adding More Water To Toilet Bowl
Press Add Water switch until desired water level is attained. Do not overfill toilet bowl. More water is usually added only when flushing solids.
2.Flushing The Toilet
Press the Flush switch down for a moment, then release it. Flush only when the panel’s green “OK to Flush” light is on. Some models will not flush unless the “OK to Flush” light is on. It takes about one minute for vacuum to recharge to the proper level for the next flush.
If the red “Do Not Flush” light is lit, the system is either recharging the vacuum to the proper level, or the holding tank is full. Do not flush the toilet during these conditions or system clogs may occur.
3.DO NOT FLUSH FOREIGN OBJECTS
CAUTION! VacuFlush toilets are designed to flush only water, bodily wastes and rapid-dissolving toilet tissue. Do not flush wet wipes, sanitary napkins, condoms, diapers, razor blades, paper cups, cotton swabs, food, hair or liquids such as oils or solvents. Clogging or damage to the toilet or sanitation system may occur.
