C. Vacu-flush® Sanitation System - (Specific Models Only)
The Vacu-flush® sanitation system eliminates the un-
pleasant sulfide odors which plague saltwater systems.
Flush water is no longer drawn through the through-hull
fittings, seacock, and vented loop. It also extends the
life of the system components by eliminating salt water

The Vacu-flush® toilet operates in a different way from
other marine toilets. Vacu-flush® systems use a small
amount of water (a little more than a pint) per flush in
addition to a simple vacuum. The toilet is connected to
the fresh water system. Fresh water is the key to an
odor free bathroom compartment. Vacu-flush® toilets
are equipped with an intergrade vacuum breaker which
prevents the possible contamination of the potable/fresh
water supply. See Figures J12 & J13. Also refer to the
manufacturer’s literature included in the owner’s packet.
Push valve handle all the way in to insure an odor-tight
seal.
