Sealand 'SailVac'

Improves VacuFlush® Performance In Sailboats

VacuFlush® holding tank technology is now optimized for sailboats with a compact vacuum tank/holding tank featuring newly developed SailVac™ design.

By engineering a vacuum generator and holding tank into a single, slim, hull-hugging unit, the award-winning SailVac™ 5200 now meets the demands of sailboat applications more effectively than previous VacuFlush holding tank systems.

Special SailVac design features include a tall, slim tank that curves and narrows to fit the outboard space that’s typical of sailboat heads; an interior baffle system to protect vacuum components from wastewater at high angles of heel; and reinforcing ribs to prevent tank distortion while storing vacuum or during pump-out.

  • Compact unit incorporates vacuum pump, vacuum reservoir, and holding tank.
  • Vertical, curved profile for hull installation.
  • 14-gal. (53-l) tank capacity.
  • When used with VacuFlush toilet, provides tank capacity for two people for four days.
  • Roto-molded, 8 mm-thick polyethylene construction.
  • Corrosion-proof, leak-proof, and odor-proof.
  • Thorough pump-out with diptube discharge from interior tank bottom.
  • 3/4- and full-tank sensor probes.
  • Auto shutdown relay turns off toilet system when tank is full to prevent overfilling.
  • Optional tank-level indicator panel.
  • Deep green tank color.
