  • Publication number: 20080178378
    Abstract: A portable toilet chemical recharge pumping system includes a water source and a main conduit with a water pump, and a liquid chemical solution source with a chemical conduit and a chemical pump, the chemical conduit connected to the main conduit below the water pump. A water pump timer and a chemical pump timer each engage and disengage the water and chemical pumps, and a chemical flow control valve controls chemical flow through the chemical conduit. An anti-siphon valve on the end of the main conduit prevents unintentional liquid flow, and the water and chemical pump timers and the chemical flow control valve control liquid flow through the main and chemical conduits to provide a pre-injection water flush period, a liquid chemical injection period wherein liquid chemical flows into the main conduit, and a post-injection water flush period wherein water continues to flow out of the anti-siphon valve.
