Common Concerns Answered
What if the automatic system needs manual salt replenishment?
While the system is designed for automatic operation, occasional manual salt replenishment may be necessary if the automatic system is not functioning optimally. This ensures continued reliable performance of your Raritan MSD.
Does this system work without a pressurized freshwater source?
This system requires a minimum of 15 psi freshwater pressure to operate. If your vessel does not have a pressurized freshwater source, you may need to consider modifications or alternative solutions for your MSD.
Why is replenishing marine salt a buying objection?
The need to purchase and replenish marine salt is a recurring consumable cost associated with operating this system, which is a consideration for some boat owners regarding ongoing expenses.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of boats is the Raritan 4 Gallon Salt Feed Tank with 12V Pump designed for?
This system is designed for any boat operating Raritan Lectra/San® MC™ or Electro-Scan™ Type I MSDs in freshwater or brackish water environments where automatic salt supplementation is required for optimal sanitation system function.
What Raritan toilet models is this salt feed tank compatible with?
This salt feed tank is compatible with Raritan Lectra/San® MC™ and Electro-Scan™ Type I MSD (Marine Sanitation Device) models.
What is the required freshwater pressure for this system?
A minimum freshwater pressure of 15 psi (103 kPa) is required for the proper operation of this salt feed system.
Can this system be used in full seawater conditions?
This system is specifically designed for operation in non-seawater conditions, meaning freshwater or brackish water environments. It automatically supplements salt to maintain disinfectant levels when operating away from natural seawater.
What is the purpose of the salt solution in the Raritan 4 Gallon Salt Feed Tank system?
The salt solution is essential for the electrolytic process within Raritan Type I MSDs (Lectra/San® MC™ and Electro-Scan™) that generates a disinfectant. This disinfectant is critical for treating waste and ensuring efficient operation, especially in freshwater or brackish environments where natural salt is absent.
