Frequently Asked Questions - VacuFlush 5006 DOMETIC

How do I install the VacuFlush 5006 toilet?
Installation requires a 12V DC power supply, a vacuum generator, and a holding tank. Refer to the manual for wiring and plumbing diagrams. Ensure all seals are properly seated.
What type of toilet paper should be used?
Use only marine-grade or RV-specific toilet paper that dissolves quickly. Never use thick or multi-ply paper.
Why does the toilet not flush properly?
Check the vacuum pump for power, ensure the flush valve is not stuck, and verify that the holding tank vent is not clogged. Also inspect the seal around the bowl outlet.
How often should I replace the seals?
Inspect seals annually. Replace the bowl seal and flush valve seal every 2-3 years or if leakage occurs.
Can I flush chemicals down the toilet?
Only use tank treatments specifically designed for marine/RV systems. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals that can damage seals.
What should I do if the toilet is leaking?
Check the bowl mounting bolts and flange seal. Tighten if loose. Inspect the inlet water valve and vacuum pump for cracks.
How do I winterize the VacuFlush 5006?
Drain all water from the bowl and pump. Add non-toxic antifreeze to the system. Run the pump briefly to distribute antifreeze.
What is the maximum flush cycle?
The pump runs for about 2-3 seconds per flush. Avoid running the pump continuously for more than 10 seconds.
Where can I find spare parts?
Spare parts are available from Dometic dealers or online. Common parts include the seal kit (part #5006-SK) and vacuum pump rebuild kit.
How do I clean the toilet without damaging it?
Use a non-abrasive cleaner like mild soap and water. Never use scouring pads or harsh chemicals. For mineral deposits, use vinegar solution.

2.1 Warnings – marine applications

The following statements must be read and understood before installing, servicing and/or operating this product on a boat. Modification of this product may result in property damage.

Dometic recommends that a qualified technician or electrician install or service this product. Equipment damage, injury to personnel or death could result from improper installation. DOMETIC ACCEPTS NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT, OR INJURY OR DEATH TO PERSONNEL THAT MAY RESULT FROM IMPROPER INSTALLATION, SERVICE OR OPERATION OF THIS PRODUCT.

DOMETIC VacuFlush 5006 - Warnings – marine applications - 1

Caution! Hazard of Flooding

If toilet is connected to ANY through-the-hull fittings, ALWAYS close seacocks when toilet is not in use (even if boat is unattended for a brief period). All passengers must be instructed on how to close valves when the toilet is not in use. Failure to do so can result in flooding which can cause loss of property and life.

DOMETIC VacuFlush 5006 - Caution! Hazard of Flooding - 1

Caution! Hazard of Flooding

If the toilet uses fresh water for flushing and is connected directly or indirectly to a shore-side municipal water system at ANY time, shoreside water connections MUST be disconnected if the boat is unattended (even if boat is unattended for a brief period). Failure to do so can result in flooding which can cause loss of property and life.

DOMETIC VacuFlush 5006 - Caution! Hazard of Flooding - 3

Caution! Hazard of Flooding

Before beginning any work on this product, be sure that all electrical power to the toilet system has been turned off and that seacocks are in the CLOSED or OFF position. Failure to do so can result in flooding which can cause loss of property and life.

DOMETIC VacuFlush 5006 - Caution! Hazard of Flooding - 1

Caution!

Overfilling the holding tank can create serious damage to the sanitation system, such as rupturing the holding tank and releasing tank contents into the bilge. To prevent this possibility, Dometic recommends using the “full” tank shut-down relay in the toilet’s electronic control module. The “full” signal from the holding tank can be generated by an optional Dometic DTM01C tank monitor or DTM04 four-level tank monitor system.

3 Intended use

The Dometic VacuFlush toilet vacuums waste from the bowl and pumps it to a holding tank or other effluent storage/disposal system. Operated by a foot pedal, the toilet allows the user to add water to the bowl (before using or flushing) by slightly raising the pedal, and to flush the toilet by pressing the pedal down. An optional status panel activates lights to indicate when the toilet is activated, when the toilet is ready to flush, and when the toilet is not ready to flush due to recharging vacuum.

3.1 Benefits

Convenient pedal-operated flush. Add water or flush with the foot pedal.

Home-like comfort in small space. Toilets feature a full-size wood seat with large opening and deep bowl for premium comfort.

Water conservation. Water consumption per flush is determined by how long the pedal is pushed. VacuFlush pedal-flush toilets typically use about 1 pint (0.5 l) per flush when the pedal is pressed for 3 seconds.

Integrated check valve. VacuFlush 5000 series toilets use an in-line check valve to prevent back-flow in event of negative pressure in the water supply line.

"OK to Flush" and "Do Not Flush" indicator lights (option). When equipped with an optional VacuFlush status panel, a green light indicates when proper vacuum is achieved and toilet is ready to flush. Red light indicates when vacuum level is too low for a flush to occur. Vacuum recharges in about one minute after flushing.

Automatic “full tank” shut-down (option). When connected to an optional holding tank level indication system and the holding tank reaches full level, the VacuFlush toilet’s vacuum generator will shut its electrical power off. This safety feature prevents overfilling the holding tank, which may cause damage to the boat.

6 Operation

6.1 Toilet system start-up

  1. Fill freshwater tank.
  2. Turn on electrical power and water supply to VacuFlush toilet system.
  3. Flush water through entire toilet system by pressing flush pedal for about 15 seconds.
    Release pedal, allowing pedal to snap back into original position. Vacuum pump will operate for about one minute, then shut off.

6.2 Normal toilet operation

ADD WATER TO TOILET BOWL

DOMETIC VacuFlush 5006 - ADD WATER TO TOILET BOWL - 1

Lift flush pedal until desired water level is achieved. More water is usually added only when flushing solids. (If pedal is raised too long, toilet bowl can overflow.)

FLUSH TOILET

DOMETIC VacuFlush 5006 - FLUSH TOILET - 1

Press flush pedal down for about 3 seconds, then release it. Allow pedal to snap back into original position to assure vacuum seal. It takes about one minute for vacuum to recharge for the next flush. A small amount of water remains in bowl after every flush.

If flush pedal is accidentally released before effluent leaves bowl, do not flush again until vacuum pump stops running.

DO NOT FLUSH FOREIGN OBJECTS

DOMETIC VacuFlush 5006 - DO NOT FLUSH FOREIGN OBJECTS - 1

natural_image Crossed safety symbol with broken paper airplane, paper airplane, and pencil (no text or symbols)

CAUTION! Flush only water, bodily wastes and rapid-dissolving tissue paper. Do not flush wet wipes, sanitary napkins, condoms, diapers, razor blades, paper cups, cotton swabs, food, hair or liquids such as oils or solvents. Clogging or damage to the toilet system may occur.

DOMETIC VacuFlush 5006 - DO NOT FLUSH FOREIGN OBJECTS - 2

Note

Make sure all guests understand toilet operation before use.

6.3 Indicator lights (requires optional VacuFlush status panel)

"OK TO FLUSH" INDICATOR

On a VacuFlush status panel, a steady green “OK to Flush” light indicates when the toilet is ready to flush.

"DO NOT FLUSH" INDICATOR

VacuFlush status panels include a red "Do Not Flush" light to indicate two toilet system conditions:

  1. vacuum level in toilet system is not sufficient for complete flush.
  2. holding tank is full and should be pumped out (only when connected to an optional holding tank level indication system). When the red light is on, electrical power to the toilet automatically shuts off to prevent possible overfilling of the holding tank.

(continued on next page)

6.4 Locking foot-pedal open for pump-out (models 5146, 5147, 5149, 5149)

VacuFlush ^® 5140 series vacuum toilets include a hold-open pedal lock. When installed in a toilet system with a VHT12/24, VHT4500 or VHT5200 vacuum holding tank, the pedal lock holds the flush ball open to allow positive air pressure into the vacuum holding tank during pump-out. This helps assure thorough discharge of the vacuum holding tank.

DOMETIC VacuFlush 5006 - Locking foot-pedal open for pump-out (models 5146, 5147, 5149, 5149) - 1

Note
