Vetus ILTCONW Instructions D'installation Et Mode D'emploi page 13

1 Introduction
This manual applies to the connection kit ILT­
CONW and for the Vetus (fixed) plastic tanks
type ATANK (42 to 390 liters) and type APT100
(100 liters) when used as a rigid plastic waste
water tank for grey water and black water.
When installing a waste water tank, the Europe­
an Recreational Craft Directive (RCD, 2013/53/
EU) and any national legislation must be ob­
served. Use the ISO 8099 standard as a guide.
Grey water tank
­ A grey water tank should only be used for
collecting water from the sink, shower, wash
basin, air conditioning, etc..
­ The capacity of a waste water tank can never
be too large.
­ Match the capacity to the amount of fresh
water available; the capacity of the water
tank(s).
­ Fit sink, shower, wash basin, etc. with a drain
with sieve, so that coarse waste, such as hair
etc., will be less likely to enter the grey water
tank.
Black water tank
­ A black water tank is used only for tempo­
rary collecting toilet waste.
­ The capacity of a waste water tank can never
be too great.
­ The capacity should be calculated using the
amount of flushing water (outside water)
used by the toilet. Reckon on 7 to 14 litres
(1.5 to 3 Imp. Gal., 1.9 to 3.8 US Gal.) of black
water per person per day.
­ Use only water­soluble toilet paper to pre­
vent unnecessary blockages. Sanitary tow­
els and tampons in the toilet and black wa­
ter tank will certainly cause blockages.

Clearing a blockage is an unpleasant job, make
sure you have a pair of rubber gloves on board.
Smell
Grey water tank
­ Unpleasant odours will be produced in eve­
ry grey water tank. Fit the sink, shower, wash
basin, etc., with an S­bend (siphon or stink
trap) and a plug.
Black water tank
­ Unpleasant smells caused by faeces will be
produced in every blackwater tank. The use
of sea water for flushing will increase the
smell. The algae in sea water also produce
unpleasant smells.
­ It is possible to add special additives to
waste water tanks to reduce the smell, called
tank deodorants. A simple way of reducing
the smell is by using washing soda, which
cleans and sterilizes.
­ Leaking hoses, hose fittings, tanks, tank cov­
ers, etc., can also cause a smell nuisance. So
carry out a regular check of the whole sys­
tem.

Tolerances of +/­ 2% apply to all tank dimen­
sions!
