Common Concerns Answered
Will this system work in freshwater or brackish water?
The Raritan electro scan® Treatment System is designed specifically for saltwater operation. If your vessel frequently operates in freshwater or brackish environments, a supplementary salt feed system or an alternative MSD may be necessary.
Is the installation complicated?
While installation requires basic plumbing and electrical knowledge, some users may find the initial setup complex. Professional installation is recommended for those unfamiliar with marine sanitation systems to ensure optimal performance and compliance.
What is the long-term maintenance requirement?
The system is engineered for durability, however, periodic maintenance of the electrodes may be required over time to ensure consistent performance. Specific maintenance schedules and procedures are detailed in the product manual.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Raritan electro scan® Treatment System work?
The system utilizes a 12v electrical charge applied to patented plates in saltwater to generate a natural disinfectant that treats waste. A high-speed macerator breaks down solids for increased contact with the disinfectant.
What type of toilet is compatible with the electro scan® Treatment System?
The electro scan® Treatment System is compatible with both manual and electric marine toilets.
Does the electro scan® Treatment System require salt water?
Yes, the Raritan electro scan® Treatment System requires saltwater salinity for its electro-chemical disinfection process. A salt feed tank can be utilized if operating primarily in areas with insufficient natural salinity.
What are the power requirements for the electro scan® Treatment System?
The Raritan electro scan® Treatment System has reduced power consumption, drawing only 1.2 amp hours per treatment cycle.
Is the electro scan® Treatment System USGC certified?
Yes, the Raritan electro scan® Treatment System is USGC certified as a Type 1 Marine Sanitation Device (MSD).
