Saninautico

See also the new Flexi Line 2G products

The Saninautico is the ‘medium bowl’ model of the Flexi Line. It is designed to maximize the comfort within a very limited space. The length of 43 cm effectively creates the like-at-home seating feeling. This icon of the Tecma brand is already fitted on board of thousands of yachts around the world. The short version of this model was designed to install on a raising step, usually 10 cm high. For this purpose the height of the ceramic shell is reduced to 36 cm to compensate and level with the standard seating height of 46 cm. Installing the toilet on a higher waterline will maximize the efficiency of the space and volumes around the toilet mounting area.

Flexi line models including Saninautico, Prestige, Bidet line (Bidet, Bidet Mini, Bidet Short) will be phased out as standard products during 2016- 2017.

Most Flexi Line spares remain valid as either still used on the Design Line models (e.g. discharge hoses) or compatible with new Flexi 2G line. Spare parts will remain available for 10 years.

Which spares are suggested on board?

Normally a control panel and a pump are enough. Any case, keeping a kit of rubber hoses too will make it possible to reset a completely toilet. Inlet solenoid is normally a very reliable component.

What kind of tube has to be used?

Tecma macerator pump is able to discharge through any kind of tube (armovir, PVC, safe odor….). Check the diameter. Is it possible to flush into DN32, but this reduced section requires more power. Whenever is possible, use DN40.

Is it possible to use acid or aggressive products for cleaning the toilet?

Plastic and rubber components of the toilet have been tested with several commercial cleaning agents. Normally no problem has been found. Any case, products containing vinegar, acetone, trielina and generic solvents must be avoided, because they can make the rubber fragile. Avoid the usage of products in gel or in foam, because they could close the air vent tube.

Is frequently maintenance needed?

Tecma products do not need a specific maintenance or winterization. Any case, the usage of additives could be helpful (Thetford Tank Freshener) to maintain the discharge pipeline clean. This kind of product helps in avoiding odors and in flushing. It is safe for plastics and tubes. For inlet pump and solenoids, keep the strainers clean.

Is it possible to connect more toilets to the same line?

Yes. In this case a “Y” fitting is needed, in spite of “T” ones, to drive the flow to the tank. Always add a siphon break to prevent siphoning.

Cleaning

Ceramic is suitable for toilet application for the surface high level of hygiene. Use only non abrasive, non-petroleum products to clean the pump. Never use household cleaners,
which can contain bleach. Bleach, strong acid or petroleum-based products can cause irreversible damage to the rubber component of the macerator pump.

Tissue

Tecma is designed to process only toilet paper. Do not use other kind of tissue paper or kitchen paper towel. Thetford’s Aqua-Soft toilet paper is recommended.

Waste

Only human waste and toilet paper should be put in to the toilet. Never flush foreign materials (e.g. paper towels, pre-moistened wipes, condoms, feminine hygene products, dental floss, household garbage, etc.)

Bad odors

If you have bad odours, be sure the smell is really coming out from the toilet. Sometimes the hot environment and the absence of usage could cause the drying of the water in the siphons of shower and sink (smaller than the toilet one). The siphon are used as “water traps”. Once they are dry, a direct connection for the air from the sewage and the bathroom is created. Then you have the bad odor. If the odor is from the toilet it means there is direct connection with the tank. Check that the system is designed properly and that, after use, the toilet remains isolated from the tank with a water trap.

Flushing the toilet – 2 buttons control panel

Press “BEFORE USE” before using the toilet. This will fill the toilet with a small amount of water. Press “AFTER USE” after using the toilet. This will start the flushing cycle: At the end of the cycle the toilet will remain empty. The amount of clean water used for the flushing can be adjusted. Recommended water level is 1 cm above ceramic discharge hole.

Flushing the toilet – 1 button control panel

After pressing the button, the flushing cycle will start automatically. At the end of the cycle the toilet will be refilled with a small amount of water ready for next use.The amount of clean water used for the flushing can be adjusted. Recommended water level is 1 cm above ceramic discharge hole.
