WHY VETUS WASTE WATER SYSTEMS?

An odourless waste water system is possible, however, you do need to follow some guidelines to keep your waste water free from
unwanted odours. Below we highlight a few tips. You can also download the VETUS guide from the VETUS website with more
suggestions to keep your waste water system free of odours.

Tips for an odour-free waste water system

1. Hoses: Make sure the outlet hoses are properly installed with a constant fall towards the holding tank. Flush the hoses
thoroughly with sufficient fresh water every time the toilet is used.
2. Flushing: Flush your hoses sufficiently. Installing a VETUS electric toilet also helps. These toilets have a powerful macerator pump
that ensures all waste water is pumped through the hoses at high pressure, and less water is needed to flush them.
3. Holding tank: Use VETUS holding tanks. The thick walls of our synthetic tanks make them completely odour proof. The hose
connection kit and fittings with watertight seals ensure that no leaks can occur. Empty and rinse the tank regularly. All VETUS
waste water tanks are certified according ISO 8099.
4. Ventilation: Proper ventilation is the main requirement for an odourless system. It is very important that the tank is well
ventilated. Use large diameter fittings and VETUS hoses for ventilation. Make sure that the hoses are not clogged!
As an option you can install a No-Smell filter in the ventilation hoses.
5. TankFresh: A concentrate of completely organic bacteria that break down faeces in the waste water system without emitting any
odour. Any well-designed waste water system can function virtually without odour just by using TankFresh.
