Caravan Toilets
Caravan toilets need looking after to keep them in tip top working order! What can you do to keep yours in the best possible condition. Keep reading ...
Never use any household cleaners or detergents as they may contain bleach which could damage it. Use only warm water or a specific caravan toilet cleaner.
If you are laying up the caravan for the winter clean the toilet, thoroughly dry the blade and lipseal, and then spray it with a maintenance spray. Make sure you leave the blade open to stop the toilet seal sticking to it over winter.
Always make sure you drain down the toilet flush tank over the winter to prevent any frost damage from occurring.
When emptying the toilet do not shake the tank too vigorously to empty it or when rinsing it as this may dislodge the float arm which part of the mechanism which tells you when your toilet is full. Just swirl the water around the tank a few times to make sure it is thoroughly cleaned.
Make sure you pour the toilet chemicals into the tank through the pouring spout, not the blade hole, as the chemicals may damage the seal.
Always add at least a litre of fresh water to the holding tank with the toilet chemicals. This will ensure the waste in the tank doesn't “pyramid” (I am sure you can guess why it's called pyramiding!!).
If you add pink rinse of the fresh water tank it helps to keep the toilet flushing correctly and will also prevent any staining of the toilet.
If you use your caravan during the winter you may need to add anti-freeze to the toilet fresh water tank. If you do, make sure you DO NOT use an alcohol based one, i.e. Methanol, Ethanol and Iso-propanol.
