guide when installing the Sloan®AQUS®
Water Conservation System. As always, good
safety practices and care are recommended
during installation. If further assistance is

INSTALLATION
VANITY TANK AND TANK DRAIN INSTALLATION
TOOLS REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION
Insert free end of Discharge Tubing and Control Module Wire through 7/8”
hole in vanity cabinet at back. Pull tubing from outside while sliding
Collection Tank into vanity cabinet.
Position the Collection Tank in cabinet leaving adequate room for drain
connections.
REMINDER: The center line of lavatory sink drain outlet should be minimum
of 12” above the vanity shelf.

Prepare the lavatory vanity before installing the
Sloan®AQUS®Water Conservation System.
Engage a certied electrician to install a 110-volt
electrical outlet inside the vanity.
Disconnect existing plumbing components
between sink pop-up and wall drain.
Drill one hole in the side of the vanity for
discharge hose and electrical wire. Drill the 7/8”
maximum hole as close to back wall and
baseboard as possible to allow for proper
coverage or tubing and wire.
Trim the threaded tailpiece to allow 1 1/4” to
extend beyond the pop-up assembly (see
illustration). Use Teon tape or pipe joint
compound on threaded portion of tailpiece before
repositioning onto pop-up assembly.

1. Cut the tubing end squarely and remove the internal and
external burrs.
2. Insert the tubing through the back of the nut all the way through
the nut assembly to the tube stop in the tting body (see

the nut one turn and then insert the tubing all the way to the
tube stop in the tting body.
3. Turn the nut hand tight.
4. Wrench tighten the nut 1-1/2 to 2 turns.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
1. CONNECTIONS INSIDE VANITY WILL NOT FIT.
a. Wall drain is either not 18” off nished oor and/ or wall drain is not 12”
off wall cabinet shelf.
b. If wall drain is too low, either cut opening in vanity oor to recess reservoir
or use shallow P-Trap or alternative PVC parts.
c. If wall drain is too high, shim the tank higher.
2. PUMP IS NOISY.
Under normal operation, the sound is no louder than an icemaker or
electric shaver.
To check if pump is failing, turn water on in sink for 2-3 minutes. Flush
toilet. Has noise level reduced?
YES Continue normal operations.
NO Possible pump failure.
3. PUMP RUNS TOO LONG, TOO SHORT OR INTERMITTENTLY.
This indicates a circuit board timer failure. Call for service.
4. TOILET BOWL WATER IS DISCOLORED OR CONTAINS BUBBLES.
Colored liquids, such as coffee or cola, poured down sink will transfer to
bowl. To clear, rinse water down drain and ush toilet. Heavy usage of hand
soaps/detergents can result in bubbles. Flush a few times to dilute soaps.
5. REUSED WATER IS NOT FILLING TANK.
a. If system is unplugged, replug into wall outlet.
b. If switch on has failed, call for service.
c. If pump isn’t running; flush toilet several times to allow pump to prime, or
call for service.
d. If hose is clogged, call for service.
DO NOT pour drain unclogging products down sink. These products may
damage system.
6. TOILET WILL NOT FLUSH.
a. Fresh water supply is off. Turn on supply.
7. TOILET TANK IS SLOW TO REFILL.
Pump is intended to provide effective reused water supply at a distance of
less than 25 feet with a 4-foot head pressure. As distance exceeds 15 feet,
ll takes longer.
8. WATER IS BACKING UP INTO THE SINK.
There’s a clog in P-trap or waste line downstream from vanity tank. DO NOT
pour unclogging products down drain. These products may damage system.
Call plumber to clear obstruction.
9. THERE’S AN UNPLEASANT ODOR.
Chlorine tables have dissolved and reservoir has grown odor-causing
bacteria.
a. Turn water on in sink and pour a capful of chlorine bleach down drain to
shock odor.
b. Replace tablets.
FINAL ADJUSTMENTS
Check for any interference inside
tank.
a. Turn on lavatory faucet. Check all
connections for leaks.
b. When system is full of reused
water, plug 12 volt Transformer
into wall outlet.
c. Flush toilet to check operation.
d. Make any adjustments, as
necessary, to allow smooth
operation of Level Sensor.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
Replace Cleansing Tablets
Replace the cleansing tablets annually. Replacement tablets may be
purchased from Sloan Valve Company and its representatives. Remove tablet
dispenser cap, insert three (3) tablets and resecure the dispenser cap.
Clean Filter Screen
The lter basket should be removed, rinsed and reinstalled annually. The
basket is secured in place under the lower cap. Cut the zip-tie, remove the
lter access cap and pull the basket straight up from the Collection Tank.
