F.A.Q.

5.1 Is it possible to connect several toilets to the same line?

Yes. In this case use "Y" connections instead of "T" connections. Always use vent valves. Fit a proper
pipe system based on the number of toilets used.

5.2 What kind of maintenance is required?

TECMA products do not need special maintenance or winterisation. We recommend cleaning the
tanks and pipes with Thetford Tank Freshener.

5.3 Is it possible to use acid or aggressive products?

Plastic components of the TECMA toilet have been tested with several marketed cleaning products.
Avoid using products such as vinegar, acetone, trichlorethylene. Avoid using solvents so as not to
affect the rubber components. Moreover, avoid using gel and foams in order not to obstruct the
vent valves. Do not dispose of harmful substances into the sea.

5.4 What kind of tube must be used?

The TECMA macerator pump uses any type of pipes (armovin, PVC, safeodor) to discharge. We
always recommend using a DN 40 pipe.

5.5 Which spare parts should I keep on board?

Besides a control panel, a motor, and the solenoid valve, we recommend keeping a sleeve kit to
completely regenerate the toilet.

5.6 Do I have to install a ventilated siphon behind the toilet bulkhead?

In case of non-centralized systems (sea water) with toilet installed below the waterline it is
mandatory to install a ventilated siphon sufficiently higher than that. The exact height must be
determined according to the maximum boat heeling angle.
For any sytem with long discharge pipes and risk of siphoning, it is always recommended to install
a ventilated siphon on the line.The Flexi 2G line is equipped with a ventilation valve - integrated in
the internal discharge hose- which , in most cases, replaces the siphon behind the bulkhead.
