2 General safety instructions
The manufacturer will not be held liable for claims for damage resulting from the following:
• Faulty assembly or connection
• Damage to the unit from mechanical influences
• Alterations to the unit without express written permission from the manufacturer
• Use for purposes other than those described in the operating manual
3 Intended use
When a toilet is flushed on a boat with a holding tank, air is pushed out of the holding tank, through
a vent hose, and out of the boat through a vent fitting . To stop foul-smelling air from coming out of
the vent fitting, install an ECO Vent Filter .
4 Installation
Remove old filter (if replacing existing vent filter)
1 . Remove vent hose from both ends of old vent filter . If old vent filter was connected to threaded
fittings for 5/8-in ./16 mm or 3/4-in ./19 mm ID hose, those fittings should remain attached to vent
hose .
2 . Remove old filter from bracket and seal ends with adhesive tape .
3 . Discard old filter in appropriate container .
Install filter
NEW INSTALLATION
1 . Select location for vent filter . Avoid areas near excessive heat sources (engine manifolds,
lights, etc .) . Do not install filter below top of holding tank (fig . 1 p . 2) .
2 . Vent filter can be mounted at any angle . Installations near thru-hull vent reduce chance of filter
damage from potential overfilling of tank .
3 . Install mounting bracket (fig . 2 1, p . 2) with screws (fig . 2 2, p . 2) .
4 . Lightly lubricate O-rings on each end of filter cartridge with Dometic Hose Lubricant or silicone
grease .
5 . Remove red plugs from each end .
6 . After vent hose ID is chosen, attach correct size hose adapters (fig .
3 5b or 5c, p . 2) to filter
cartridge with retaining fasteners (fig . 3 4, p . 2) . Refer to Adapter Size Chart below to identify
correct size hose adapter .
7 . Press ECO vent filter (fig . 3 6, p . 2) into mounting bracket so that it clicks into bracket arms .
8 . Route vent hose from waste holding tank and thru-hull fitting to ECO vent filter . Using hose
clamps (not included), attach vent hoses to adapters that are connected to vent filter .
