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.

How to choose the proper control panel

The old control panels are no longer available. Use the smart table below as a guideline to choose your control panel.

Aqua Soft

Ordinary toilet paper can cause clogging. Use Aqua Soft toilet paper instead. This toilet paper is super-soft, dissolves quickly, prevents clogging and makes it easier to empty the waste-holding tank.

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.)
