4. Setup and Installation

This hose is intended for use as a replacement or an extension to an existing Sani-Con macerator system hose. Follow these steps for proper installation:

1. Ensure your Sani-Con macerator pump system is turned off and disconnected from any power source.
2. If replacing an existing hose, carefully disconnect the old hose from the macerator pump and the discharge point.
3. To connect the new hose to your Sani-Con pump, align the end of the hose with the pump's outlet and securely attach it. Ensure a tight fit to prevent leaks.
4. If extending your reach, use the provided coupling connector. Insert one end of the new hose onto one side of the coupling connector and your existing Sani-Con hose onto the other side. Secure both connections firmly, potentially using hose clamps if your system requires them for a leak-proof seal.
5. Route the hose to the desired sewer connection point, ensuring it is not kinked or obstructed.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the hose is securely installed, operate your Sani-Con macerator system according to its specific instructions. The Thetford 21 FT Retracting Sani-Con RV Waste/Sewer Discharge Hose is designed to facilitate the efficient transfer of waste from your RV tanks to a sewer connection.

• Always ensure the hose is fully extended to the desired length before activating the macerator pump to prevent kinking or excessive pressure build-up.
• Verify that the discharge end of the hose is properly secured into the sewer inlet before beginning the discharge process.
• After use, allow the hose to drain completely before retracting it for storage.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will prolong the life of your Thetford Sani-Con RV Waste/Sewer Discharge Hose:

• Cleaning: After each use, flush the hose thoroughly with clean water to remove any residual waste.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the entire length of the hose for any signs of wear, cracks, punctures, or damage. Pay close attention to the connection points.
• Storage: Store the hose in its retracted state (7 feet) in a clean, dry, and protected area, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing with sharp objects that could puncture the hose.
• Handling: Avoid dragging the hose over rough or sharp surfaces, such as gravel, which can cause abrasions and pinholes.

7. Troubleshooting

Hose Kinking or Coiling During Operation:

If the hose exhibits excessive kinking or coiling when the macerator pump is active, ensure the hose is laid out as straight as possible with minimal turns or bends. Verify that the discharge end is not obstructed or experiencing back pressure. Ensure the hose is fully extended before starting the pump. If the issue persists, inspect the hose for internal damage or blockages.

Leaks at Connection Points:

Check that all connections (to the macerator pump and to the coupling connector, if used) are tight and secure. Ensure that any required hose clamps are properly tightened. Inspect the hose ends and connectors for damage or wear that might prevent a proper seal.

Reduced Flow Rate:

Ensure the hose is not kinked or obstructed. Verify that the macerator pump is functioning correctly and that there are no blockages within the pump or the RV's waste tanks.
