What does my boat need for a VacuFlush installation?
A. Boats must have: • An onboard freshwater supply system. Freshwater is highly recommended for flushing. VacuFlush toilets consume very little water from the onboard supply. Sea water use can cause malodors and maintenance issues. • A thru-hull vent fitting. This vent fitting is connected to the holding tank and allows the air in the tank to move overboard as the holding tank fills. • Appropriate discharge fittings. These fittings include a 1.5-inch (38mm) through hull fitting with seacock for overboard discharge and/or a 1.5-inch (38mm) deck discharge fitting for connecting to a dockside discharge pump. A vented loop or in-line check valve may also be required depending on the standards or regulations effective on a specific vessel.
