User Instructions

    1. Connect the blue hose to the effluent camlock on your vessel and open the valve.
    2. Follow the instructions on the payment terminal:
      1. Press 1 to commence the process
      2. Press ENT to acknowledge the notice
      3. Tap your card or phone against the small payment terminal – a $36 transaction will be undertaken.
    3. A pre walk timer will start and automatically prime the pumping system. Hold your finger on the green start button till the main pump starts.
    4. Monitor the check / sight tube by the hose stand. When the tank is nearly empty, the flow will intermittently start and stop, triggering a 90 second post walk timer. If the system records insufficient flow, the transaction will end when the timer runs out.
    5. If you have multiple tanks, press stop as your first tank is nearly empty, transfer the effluent hose to the second camlock and press start to commence pumping. You’ll have approximately 90 seconds to transfer your hose after you press stop.
    6. If possible, it is recommended to flush water through the system via the freshwater pump on the pontoon.

    Note: Dareton EDS does not currently require payment. Once the facility has been upgraded, a new payment terminal will be installed.
