Vacuflush System Service

[eweise]

Planning for winter services. Besides the duckbills, is there any other maintenance item I should consider? I am having no issues at this time. Unit is working good.

You could replace the pump bellows too.

One of the best things you can do is a very thorough job of cleaning things. Irrigate the holding tank until clear water is all that comes out. Put some non chlorine powdered Tide soap down the toilet and hold down the flush pedal for a minute to clean out the lines. When everything is very clean, rub a small amount of petroleum jelly on the seal in the bottom of the bowl and let it snap shut. This advice came with my boat from Sealand. It was a part of the delivery materials. Our head is all original and gets a lot of use. Still works like it did when it was new.

# 2 on this one do it once. Ask me how I know?

After reading your comments and researching, it appears the bellows are probably on borrowed time. 11 years now. I will add that to my list. Thanks for the information. I suppose the Vacuum Generator has the bellows but what about the macerated? Does anyone know if that unit also has the bellows?
