A2

How often do I turn on my Lectra/San?

The Lectra/San (all series) is intended to be operated with each flush of the toilet. Failure to do this will result in eventual clogging and possible damage to the unit.

A3

I have 2 heads, one fore and one aft, can I use one Lectra/San?

Probably not. Raritan has dual head/control kits to allow two heads to feed into one Lectra/San. However, they need to be relatively close to one another, see following questions. If the two heads are approximately 12 feet apart with a hose run from each of six feet or less to the Lectra/San treatment unit, such as across the passageway from one another, then one Lectra/San may be used for both toilets with the dual control kit. Contact Raritan technical support.

A4

Can I install my Lectra/San further than 6 feet from the head? Why does the Lectra/San have to be so close to the head?

Raritan recommends that the Lectra/San be 6 feet or less from the head . This will insure that the materials that are flushed from the toilet actually make it into the Lectra/San and are not residing in the connecting hose between the two, where they can putrefy and cause odor problems.

A6

Lectra/San MC/EC - Can I use the Lectra/San with my head?

Probably. The Lectra/San system will work with most installed heads that have positive displacement pumps discharging the waste from the head. It will not work with recirculating heads, portable type heads, Jet style and heads with built-in holding tanks. For specific details, contact Raritan Technical Support.

A7

Is the Lectra/San legal in all waters?

No. The Lectra/San is legal in most navigable and coastline areas where salt water is available and a tidal flow in and out exists. It is not legal in Federally designated no discharge areas.

A8

Lectra/San EC - My check fuse light is on but the 3 fuses check O.K., what is the problem?

Check available voltage at treatment system while it is running in the second cycle - must be no less than 11.5 VDC. Low voltage will cause the check fuse light to come on. If voltage checks O.K., problem is likely in the control board mounted on the Lectra/San treatment unit. Replace control board.

A9

Lectra/San EC - My low salt light is always on, why?

Be sure that adequate salt is in the water supplied to the Lectra/San. Check that salt feed system (if used) is filled and operating correctly. Check that electrodes are clean. Check available voltage at treatment system while it is running in the second cycle - must be no less than 11.5 VDC.

A10

Lectra/San MC - Can I use a freshwater flush toilet with this model? If so what do I need?

Yes. You will need one of our salt feed units that will bring your flush water up to the same salinity as seawater.

Or you can manually add salt to some toilets flush water by adding a few ounces of salt to the toilet bowl before each flush. Do not add salt to Vacu-Flush® toilets!
(see Lectra/San M/C with Vacu-Flush®*)
