Your SeaLand toilet system may require the regular addition of a deodorant product to reduce
malodors and to help break down holding tank contents. Several factors should be considered in
selecting a deodorant product.
liquid or Granulated. Liquid products work more quickly by readily going into solution.
Granulated powder formulations have the advantage of requiring less storage space and are less
likely to leak if the package is inadvertently damaged.
Formaldehyde versus non-Formaldehyde. Dometic manufactures both types of deodorants.
Generally speaking, formaldehyde formulas control odor very effectively at all temperatures and with
all degrees of water hardness. Both SeaLand ® NATURAL and Clean ‘n Green™ brands, which are
formaldehyde-free, are similarly effective.
how Much Deodorant and how to add it. The deodorant is added directly into the toilet bowl, then
flushed into the holding tank. Follow bottle or package instructions. Conditions of extremely warm
weather, longer waste holding time and larger tank capacities may require more deodorant treat-
ment. Also, to maintain optimum efficiency in odor control, the waste holding tank should be cleaned
thoroughly at least once or more each season depending on use.
Why not use household Toilet Paper in Your Toilet. Household tissues often contain adhesives
which bond together the paper fibers from which the tissue is made. The adhesives prevent the tissue
from breaking apart, and their use in “ultra-low flow” systems can cause system clogging. SeaLand
tissue is especially designed for use in low water toilet systems. Its rapid dissolving properties minimize
the amount of residual paper in the holding tank and allow deodorizers to work more efficiently.

All boats with fixed toilets in U.S. waters and in the waters of some other countries are required to
have an operable marine sanitation device (MSD). The VacuFlush vacuum sanitation system, when
installed in a boat, is a holding tank or Type III system as defined by the U.S. Coast Guard. Type III
systems permit operation of the toilet without direct discharge of untreated waste after every flush.
Type III systems can be discharged at marina dockside pump-out stations or, if in coastal waters,
a minimum of three miles offshore. overboard discharge capability must remain secured while
within the three-mile limit. The overboard discharge pump is activated by a keyed switch in the
toilet compartment. This key should be removed at all times except when discharge pump is
operating.
Sewage from any source should not be discharged directly into our waters. If you are interested in
