What can I do to correct a problem with the vacuflush system? (without getting too crazy)
The white valve on the bottom of the bowl was stuck open. I forced it shut and lubricated with the head lube which has corrected the valve open problem.
The problem appears to be a bit more serious now as the effluent from the bowl appears content to remain in the bowl when the flush handle is depressed.
I've pumped out the septic tank yesterday but that didn't seem to affect the problem.
My guess is that someone flushed something that they shouldn't have.
