Common Concerns Answered
What is the California Proposition 65 warning?
The California Proposition 65 warning indicates potential exposure to chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity. Specific details regarding chemicals and exposure levels can be found in the product documentation and by consulting resources on California Proposition 65.
Is the installation complex?
Installation is rated as moderate (3/5). While the control unit is designed for easier dry mounting, integrating it with the waste treatment system and plumbing requires a solid understanding of marine plumbing and electrical systems. Professional installation is advisable if you are not experienced with such work.
How does the ElectroScan system work?
The ElectroScan system treats marine toilet waste by using electrolysis to convert saltwater into a natural disinfectant. This process breaks down waste and makes it safe for overboard discharge, meeting environmental regulations.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Raritan ElectroScan Control Assembly work?
The control assembly houses a computer board that monitors and manages the waste treatment cycle, providing user feedback via a display. It initiates and controls the electrolysis process which disinfects waste using compounds derived from saltwater.
What voltage system is this control assembly compatible with?
This control assembly is specifically designed for 12V DC electrical systems found on most recreational vessels.
Can this control assembly be used with any type of marine toilet?
Yes, this control assembly is designed to function with both manual and electric marine toilets that are part of a Raritan ElectroScan or Lectra/San waste treatment system.
Where is the best location to mount the new control assembly?
The newest control assembly is designed for dry installation, meaning it should be mounted away from the waste tank and any potential moisture or corrosive environments, in an easily accessible location for monitoring the display.
Does the ElectroScan system use a lot of power?
