TROUBLE SHOOTING

Leaks

2. Vacuum breaker leaks while flushing: replace Vacuum Breaker or water module, depending on model.
3. Between closet flange and toilet: check flange nuts for tightness. If leak continues, remove toilet and check flange height. Use Thetford spacers to adjust, if necessary, to 7/16” above floor. Replace flange seal.

Toilet Won’t Hold Water:

1. Check for and remove any debris from blade/ball seal track.

How does Porta Potti work?
Porta Potti is very easy to use. In the upper part, there is a seat, lid, bowl, vacuum cleaner and fresh water tank. The bottom is an odorless and airtight removable garbage disposal. The two pieces are held together by a bond that allows all items to be carried as part or part of the individual. So Porta Potti can go wherever the toilet is needed. And since it comes with its own fresh water for rinsing, you don’t have to worry about using it in areas without water. Depending on the model, the Porta Potti averages 27-62 washes at idle. When the bottom tank is full, separate the sections, take the bottom section to each toilet and put it in.
