Raritan ElectroScan: How it Works

00:06.01: The Raritan ElectroScan is a U. S. Coast Guard certified Type I marine sanitation device for use for uninspected as well as inspected vessels registered length of 65 ft or 19.7 m and under.

00:25.00: The unit must be operated in areas that are not declared a federal no discharge zone by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. This is applicable for all US territorial waters inside the three mile limit. Other countries check with your local authorities.

00:47.00: The ElectroScan is designed for recreational use and accommodates most marine toilets with a maximum flush volume of 1.5 us gallons or 5.7 liters

01:01.00: The flushing action of the toilet discharges waste into the first chamber of the treatment tank. Here the waste is macerated and receives its first treatment.

01:16.00: Specially coated electrode plates, create an electrical field and convert the saltwater into Hypochlorous acid, a powerful bacteria side.

01:26.00: Once the treatment solution reacts with bacteria and waste, it reverts back to salt and water.

01:33.00: The next time the toilet is flushed and new untreated waste enters the first chamber, some of the treated discharge enters the second chamber, while the new waste is being treated in the first chamber, the contents of the second chamber are stirred and treated again.

01:52.00: Each successive flush moves the previous toilet discharge through the electricscan and eventually overboard.

01:59.00: When the discharge enters the marine environment, virtually all the pathogens have been eliminated. the ElectroScan is based on salt.

02:08.00: The ElectroScan is based on salt. The addition of a salt feed system may be necessary, if the toilets inlet flush water is not ocean grade salinity. With the automatic injection kit, salinity is monitored by the unit's control panel and salt solution is automatically added as needed.

02:32.00: A small amount of water supplied by the boats pressurized freshwater system, maintains the water level in the tank and continues to generate saturate salt solution from the solar salt.

02:47.00: During the processing mode. The ElectroScan control can call for salt to be injected into the treatment unit as needed for proper operation.

02:58.00: The ElectroScan system is the most popular U. S. Coast Guard Type one MSD system available. The unit's power consumption has been reduced by 36% at only 1.2 ampere hours of power per cycle.

03:17.00: The ElectroScan generates its own natural disinfectant from salt water and can be interfaced with many electric or manual toilets for a simple one step operation.
