2. Key Features

• Self-Priming Rinse Pump: Equipped with an integral self-priming rinse pump designed to draw water directly from sea, river, or lake into the bowl for flushing.
• Flexible Discharge Options: Designed for versatility, allowing for either overboard discharge or connection to a holding tank, depending on marine regulations and user preference.
• Built-in Backflow Preventer: Incorporates a backflow prevention mechanism to guard against flooding and the return of waste into the bowl, ensuring hygiene and safety.
• Corrosion-Resistant Materials: Constructed with materials that resist corrosion, making it suitable for both fresh and saltwater service, ensuring long-term durability in marine environments.
• Installation Flexibility: Can be mounted up to 3 feet (1 meter) above or below the waterline, provided appropriate plumbing configurations are used.
• Water Source Specificity: Engineered specifically for use with natural water sources such as sea, river, or lake water.

3. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your Jabsco Electric Marine Toilet. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified marine technician.

3.1 Pre-Installation Checklist

• Verify the toilet model (12 Volts Compact Bowl) matches your vessel's electrical system and space requirements.
• Ensure adequate space for mounting, considering the compact bowl dimensions.
• Confirm availability of a suitable power supply (12V DC) with appropriate circuit protection.
• Plan plumbing routes for water intake (sea/river/lake water) and discharge (overboard or holding tank).
• Acquire all necessary plumbing fittings, hoses, and electrical wiring.

3.2 Mounting Considerations

The toilet can be mounted up to 3 feet (1 meter) above or below the waterline. When mounting below the waterline, ensure that all plumbing connections are secure and that the discharge loop is properly vented to prevent siphoning. For above-waterline installations, ensure the intake hose is routed to prevent airlocks.

3.3 Plumbing Connections

1. Water Intake: Connect the self-priming rinse pump's intake to a through-hull fitting below the waterline, ensuring a seacock is installed for isolation.
2. Discharge: Connect the discharge hose to either an overboard discharge through-hull fitting or to a marine holding tank. Ensure all connections are watertight and secured with marine-grade hose clamps.
3. Ventilation: If connecting to a holding tank, ensure the tank is properly vented to prevent pressure buildup or vacuum.

3.4 Electrical Wiring

Connect the toilet's electrical wiring to a dedicated 12V DC circuit, protected by an appropriately sized fuse or circuit breaker. Refer to the wiring diagram provided with your product packaging for specific connections. Ensure all electrical connections are secure and protected from moisture.

Figure 2: Example of a Jabsco Marine Pump Component

This image shows a typical Jabsco marine pump, similar to the self-priming rinse pump integrated into the electric marine toilet. It features a black cylindrical body with a blue label, and various hose connections. This component is responsible for drawing in flush water and expelling waste.

4. Operating Instructions

The Jabsco Electric Marine Toilet is designed for simple and efficient operation.

4.1 Flushing Procedure

1. Ensure the seacock for the water intake is open.
2. Press and hold the flush button or activate the flush switch. The self-priming pump will draw water into the bowl and simultaneously discharge the contents.
3. Hold the button until the bowl is clear and clean. A typical flush cycle lasts approximately 5-10 seconds.
4. Release the flush button. The pump will stop, and the backflow preventer will ensure no waste returns.

Important: Only use sea, river, or lake water for flushing. Do not use freshwater from your vessel's potable water tank unless specifically designed for it, as this model is not intended for freshwater flushing. Avoid flushing foreign objects, excessive toilet paper, or harsh chemicals, as this can damage the pump and plumbing system.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the long-term reliability and performance of your Jabsco Electric Marine Toilet.

5.1 Routine Cleaning

• Clean the bowl regularly with mild, non-abrasive toilet cleaners. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or petroleum-based cleaners, as these can damage rubber seals and pump components.
• For saltwater systems, periodically flush with fresh water to minimize salt buildup, especially if the vessel is to be left unused for an extended period.

5.2 Winterization (for cold climates)

Before winter storage in freezing temperatures, the toilet system must be properly winterized to prevent damage from freezing water.

1. Close the seacock for the water intake.
2. Flush the toilet until the bowl is empty.
3. Pour non-toxic marine-grade antifreeze into the bowl and flush until antifreeze is seen exiting the discharge, ensuring all water is displaced from the pump and plumbing lines.
4. Ensure the holding tank (if applicable) is also drained and treated with antifreeze.

5.3 Component Inspection

• Periodically inspect all hoses and connections for signs of wear, cracks, or leaks. Replace any damaged components immediately.
• Check electrical connections for corrosion and ensure they are tight.
