4. Operation

4-1 ACTIVATING THE UNIT
4-1-1 Ensure that the toilet has been assembled per the instructions provided with the toilet.
4-1-2 Open the shut-off valve and let the tank fill up.
4-1-3 Ensure the macerating unit is plugged in and the power supply is turned on.
4-1-4 Flush toilet several times with intervals in between depositing a few sheets of toilet paper into the bowl to
check discharge piping. There should be no paper remaining in the bowl after each flush.
4-2 USAGE
4-2-1 The toilet works as a conventional flushing toilet and needs no maintenance in normal use. However, there
is nothing wrong with cleaning out the macerating pump unit once a year. Do not use bleach. Be careful not
to let water enter the electrical cord opening.
4-2-2 The macerating system starts automatically once the toilet is flushed or the bath, shower, hand basin, etc.
discharges and ceases operation once the contents have been pumped away. It is normal for the
macerating unit to cycle rapidly, especially if there is not a lot of pressure head on the system.
4-3 CAUTIONARY NOTES
4-3-1 The macerating system is not designed for the disposal of sanitary napkins, tampons, condoms, kitchen
waste, disposable diapers or paper towels. It should only be used for human waste and toilet paper.
Disregarding the above might damage macerating unit and will void the warranty.
4-3-2 Do not dispose of acids, alkalis, solvents, oils, paint, paint strippers, food waste, cotton swabs, plastic bags,
kitty litter or anything that could halt, damage or corrode the unit. Off the shelf toilet cleansers will normally
not hurt the macerating unit.
4-3-3 Do not hang bleach blocks or hypochlorite cleaners in the toilet tank. These solutions have been shown to
deteriorate the plastic and neoprene components of the flush and fill valves, and may cause leaks. In the
event of a power loss, do not use the toilet or any other sanitary fixture connected to the macerating unit
since it will fail to pump until the power is restored.
4-3-4 Ensure that there are no faucets left open. Dripping faucets will eventually fill the tank. Continued dripping
after the tank is full may cause the motor to operate frequently, potentially overheating the motor. If this
occurs for long enough, the thermal overload will activate, shutting off the motor. If this happens, a flood
could occur.
5. Troubleshooting
5-1 BEFORE REFERING TO TROUBLESHOOTING CHART
5-1-1 Check plumbing system. Flush toilet and ensure water supply is turned on.
5-1-2 Check electrical system. Ensure GFCI breaker and receptacle are on. Check condition of circuit breaker or fuse.
Ensure plug is not loose. If thermal overload has activated, it will take about 20 minutes to reactivate.
5-1-3 Check the hydraulic system. Check that the discharge pipe and breather opening (vent pipe) are not blocked.
5-1-4 If the macerating pump turns on intermittently without the flush having been activated or water having been
discharged, check that water out of the toilet tank is not leaking into the bowl. Or, that there is no leakage back into
the macerating unit due to incorrect seating of the check valve and/or that the discharge elbow is seated properly.
