General Guidelines
Gray water bypass can be achieved by plumbing the discharge
line in a manner that gravity can allow liquid to fl ow to the hose
with no upward plumbing.
All systems rely on gravity to move the liquid waste to the pump;
therefore, make sure that the pump inlet is mounted below the RV
holding tank.
Plan the installation so that the pump does not extend beyond the
side of the coach.
Each assembly comes with two labels. One label should be
placed in the hose compartment; the other should be placed in the
Owner's & Installation Manual.
■
If black and gray tanks are heated, treat SANICON® Turbo
500s in same manner.
■
It is important to plumb hose avoiding sharp angles or
bends during use or storage.
■
Placement of the hose connection MUST be serviceable by
the customer.

Thermal Cut-Off Switch
Because SANICON® Turbo pumps are designed for intermittent
duty, the pump contains a thermal cut-off switch for your safety.
Typical run time is 15-20 minutes of operation before the thermal
shut-off switch turns the pump off. After 20 minutes, the thermal
cut-off switch will reset and allow the pump to run again.
■ If the pump is run immediately after a thermal reset, it will run
for approximately five - eight minutes.
■ If allowed to cool for several hours it will run the full 20 min-
utes.
