Common Concerns Answered
I'm concerned about the ongoing maintenance. How often does the salt solution need refilling?
The frequency of refilling the salt solution depends on your flushing frequency and the ambient water salinity. The LectraSan® Control Indicator Panel features a low salt indicator, providing a clear visual cue when the tank requires attention, ensuring you are never caught off guard.
Is this a complete marine toilet system?
No, this is a specialized accessory designed to work exclusively with existing Raritan LectraSan® marine toilet systems. Its sole function is to maintain adequate salinity levels in brackish water, not to provide waste treatment or discharge on its own.
Will this work in saltwater environments?
This unit is specifically engineered for brackish water conditions where natural salinity is suboptimal for LectraSan® operation. In full saltwater, natural salinity levels are typically sufficient, and this unit would not be necessary.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is a salt feed unit necessary for a LectraSan system?
A salt feed unit is necessary when the Raritan LectraSan® system is operated in brackish water environments where the natural salinity is insufficient to support optimal biological treatment processes. This ensures the system functions as designed.
How does the Raritan 2-Gallon Salt Feed Unit work?
The unit automatically mixes a concentrated salt solution with the incoming flush water during each toilet flush. This increases the salinity within the LectraSan® treatment tank, maintaining the necessary levels for effective waste processing.
What type of water requires the use of a salt feed unit with a LectraSan system?
A salt feed unit is required for use with a LectraSan® system when operating in brackish water, such as estuaries, river mouths, or coastal areas with fluctuating salinity that falls below optimal levels for the system's biological treatment. Full saltwater typically does not require this accessory.
How do I know when to refill the salt feed tank?
The Raritan 2-Gallon Salt Feed Unit is equipped with a low salt indicator that is integrated with the LectraSan® Control Indicator Panel. When the salt solution level is critically low, this indicator will illuminate, signaling the need for replenishment.
What is the capacity of the Raritan Salt Feed Unit?
The Raritan 2-Gallon Salt Feed Unit has a total capacity of 2 gallons, designed to hold the salt solution required for supplementing the flush water in your LectraSan® system.
