We just purchased a 1987 Transpac Eagle 32. It’s outfitted with a Raritan Marine Elegance fresh-water toilet and a SeaLand SanX MSD treatment system.
The prior owner did not use the SanX system, other than to use it as an un-treated holding tank for deck pump-out. That’s going to be my plan for now as well - we’ll be cruising bays, rivers and near-coastal areas along the US Gulf Coast so don’t plan on doing any overboard discharge.
The SanX is one of the few systems on board that I don’t have a manual for, and I have no idea how it operates (even though as I say, I don’t intend to use it, I’d like to know how it works - particularly if, in an unforeseen circumstance, I could in fact use it to discharge overboard, in appropriate waters, without the chemical treatment).
Does anyone know where I can find an owner’s manual? I’ve checked here and on-line and had no success; Dometic (successor to SeaLand) has no info on their website. Or can someone give me a simple explanation of how to operate the unit? There’s a control panel for it in the head that gives me three options - “Off” (where it is now), ‘Treat and hold’ (or something like that) and ‘Treat and Discharge’. This panel is getting power so that much is operating. The unit itself is behind a bulkhead, so I haven’t actually seen it yet; there’s an inspection port that I’ll be opening for a look-see the next time I’m aboard.
Thanks!
