Federal Regulations• Type I- Flow-through device (maceration and disinfection) may be
used on boats equal to or less than 65 feet in length. The effluent produced must not have a fecal coliform bacteria count greater than 1000 per 100 milliliters and have no visible floating solids
• Type II- Flow-through device (maceration and disinfection) are used on boats greater than 65 feet in length. The effluent produced must not have a fecal coliform bacteria count greater than 200 per 100 milliliters and suspended solids not greater than 150 milligrams per liter
• Type III- Holding tanks may be used on any length boat. This MSD is designed to prevent the overboard discharge of treated or untreated sewage.

Electro Scan
• US Coast Guard approved MSD – Type 1, Marine Sanitation Device
• US EPA tested• Converts salt water into
bactericide – hypochlorous acid
• Kills 99% of pathogens in waste
• Simple to use• $900.00

Benefits
• Eliminates pump outs in most cases• Can be used with manual, electric or
Vacuflush toilets• Single unit can be used with 1 or 2 toilets• Environmentally safe• Easy to use• Low maintenance

MSD Advantages
• Many boaters continue to dump raw sewage into our national waters
• No-discharge zones do not prevent dumping• Pump outs not always available• Pump outs may use septic tanks which leech
back into waters

How Does it Work
7
• Initial flush – pretreatment cycle
• Toilet flushing moves the waste through system displacing equal volume in tank
• Only macerator runs• Salt feed is activated if
needed• Lasts about 35 seconds
How Does it Work
• Treatment cycle• Macerator and mixer
both run• Hypochlorous acid is
generated• Lasts about 2 minutes• Uses only 1.5 amp of
power• Tank holds 4 flushes – 4
treatments

• 2 stateroom trawler• Both type 1 and type 3
systems• Master Stateroom –
plumbed with Electro Scan directly overboard
• Guest Stateroom – plumbed directly to holding tank
Optional Salt Feed
11
• Seawater is 3% salt• For use in fresh or brackish
waters• Rain runoff will create brackish
water• Manually adding salt will not
work• Use bulk water softener salt with
water• Fill tank weekly• $400.00 retail – build for less
than $100.00
Installation Planning Tips
• Do not locate in area that exceeds 120 degrees
• Locate in an accessible area• Locate Electro Scan within 6 feet of toilet(s)• Electro Scan must be lower than toilet• Single button operation recommended –
electric toilets
12
Cleaning and Servicing6 months intervals
• Close thru hull• Remove red, white, orange wires at control panel• Flush 6 bowls fresh water to clean• Flush 3 bowls fresh water with 1 cup muriatic acid in
each. Turn off breaker after each flush.• Wait one hour• Open thru hull• Flush bowl 20 times• Hook up wires

Potential Problems
• Warning Amps <14 – Salt water inadequate– Salt pump failure
• Error Electrode Overload – Excessive salt present– Cleaning chemicals present
• Error Low Electrode Amp – dirty electrodes
