7. How Does it Work
• Initial flush –
pretreatment cycle
• Toilet flushing moves the
waste through system
displacing equal volume in
tank
• Only macerator runs
• Salt feed is activated if
needed
• Lasts about 35 seconds
7

8. How Does it Work
• Treatment cycle
• Macerator and mixer
both run
• Hypochlorous acid is
generated
• Lasts about 2 minutes
• Uses only 1.5 amp of
power
• Tank holds 4 flushes – 4
treatments
