Servicing and winterization preparation
Talamex electric toilets are designed to be simple to service; therefore no special skills are needed, as well as no special tools are required.
•
Flush the toilet according to the operating instructions for normal use and particularly ensure that all waste has left the discharge pipework and
that the bowl is empty.
•
Close both seacocks (even though secondary valves are fitted).
•
Be ready to mop-up any water which might come out of the system.
•
Disconnect the toilet from the power supply (12/24V).
Servicing – winterization
Drain the complete system both as a protection against frost damage and to avoid the growth in the pipework of bacteria that could cause unpleasant
smells.
1.
Open any secondary valve.
2.
Loosen hose clips and disconnect all the hose ends from the seacock hose tails, the hose toilet tails, and any secondary valves.
3.
Drain the toilet pump and ensure that all water is properly drained from the toilet system.
WARNING:
The use of anti-freeze is not recommended, as it is not possible to ensure that the product penetrates the whole toilet system. If, for any reason, an anti-
freeze compound is employed it will have to be a glycol-based one. If you plan to overhaul the toilet in the spring, this is a good time to disassemble
it and take the components ashore to make the overhaul easier.
HAZARD RISK:
Seacocks opened by mistake.
In case you leave the toilet disassembled and if the sea cocks are opened when the boat is afloat, water will flood in by causing the sinking of the boat
and the possible loss of life. Therefore, it is indispensable to attach a warning notice to the seacocks and, if possible, wire the seacocks shut. Remember
to attach warning notices!
If you are not going to disassemble the toilet:
•
Reconnect all hose ends and secure them with their hose clips.
•
Disconnect the toilet from the power source.
