Operation of the ECONO-TANK Holding Tank
A buzzer and a switch are used to monitor and operate the system when in use.
Discharge Pump Switch:
Before entering a restricted area, place the pump switch in the “ON” position. This will activate the discharge pump and discharge the existing treated contents from the tank. While the pump is activated, a yellow light on the switch panel will be lit. Turn the pump switch to “OFF” when the tank becomes empty. Leave the pump switched “OFF”.
The capacity of your ECONO-TANK will determine the number of toilet flushes that will re-fill the holding tank. A red high-level light will glow on the switch panel when the holding tank has reached its capacity and a buzzer will also sound.
Do not use the toilet until the holding tank contents have been discharged in an area where discharge is permitted.
Activate the pump switch only when discharge is permitted.
Mute Switch:
When the holding tank is approximately 90% full, a light comes on and an alarm buzzer sounds to warn the operator that the tank is reaching capacity and needs to be emptied.
The ‘Mute’ switch can be used to silence the warning alarm when the tank has become full.
Avoid using the toilet once the alarm has been muted until the tank can be discharged. Continuing to use the toilet once the alarm has sounded will result in the tank contents possibly over-flowing through the breather pipe with potentially unpleasant consequences.
LED Display:
The LED display keeps the operator informed of the system’s operation. The operator needs to be familiar with the LED lights and colour codes, as well as the warning buzzer.
The LED lights consist of:
High Level Warning - Red Light
Pump Light - Yellow Light
High Level Warning Light:
All ECONO-TANK systems are equipped with manual discharge controls. The discharge of waste by the system is prohibited in some waterways. In these areas, the discharge pump must remain turned off until such time as the vessel is moved outside of that area and the waste can be discharged.
A high level light (red) followed by an alarm will warn the user that the Holding Tank is nearing its maximum capacity. Discontinue use of the system until the contents of this tank can be discharged.
The contents will be discharged when the pump is switched ‘On’. The vessel must be in a discharge-permitted area, and should preferably be underway or in an area of high tidal flow at this time.
Pump Light:
The pump light (yellow) will glow if the pump is operating.
The manual switch, when activated, will engage the pump. Listen to the pump and turn the pump off when the pump empties the tank and starts to run dry.
NOTE: Do not run the pump dry for an extended period. Do not leave the pump running unattended.
