TOILET-VACUFLUSH® HEAD
Vacuum Toilet- The Vacuflush® toilet operates in a
different way from other marine toilets. The system uses
around 16 ounces per flush plus a simple vacuum to
complete each flush which is a substantial water savings
over other systems. The toilet is connected to a pressurized
fresh water supply. Fresh water is the key to an odor-free
bathroom compartment. Selected other systems use intake
water from wherever the vessel is sitting which may carry
an odor. The Vacuflush® units are equipped with a special
vacuum breaker which prevents the possible
contamination of the potable water system.
Vacuum Tank- This tank stores the vacuum energy used
in the system. When a switch senses a drop in the vacuum
it automatically energizes the pump to upgrade the
vacuum. This process in on-going between flushes.
Vacuum Pump- This unique bellows style pump is
designed to handle solids without a problem. It uses two
duckbill valves on each side of the pump chamber to
prevent backfkow of waste and vacuum.
KEY VACUFLUSH® COMPONENTS

Equipment Operation
Vacuum Generator- This unit houses the vacuum pump
and tank in one unit. It is compact over other units.
Holding Tank- Unit features polyethylene composition
50% thicker than other holding tanks. A deodorant
additive is required to keep the holding tank odor-free.
In-Line Vent Filter- The vent filter is located above the
holding tank. It helps keep the boat's waste vent system
sanitized. Heavier-than-air malodors accumulate in the
holding tank. The filter uses special charged filter media
to remove the odors before they become offensive.
Replace the filter each year. Contact your Regal dealer.
Fresh Water and Waste Monitor- Your vessel uses a
fresh water and waste monitor panel to display the levels
in each system. See the information earlier in this chapter.
Overboard Discharge Pump- An optional overboard
discharge pump vacates waste through the deck waste
fitting or a seacock (only used beyond the 3 mile limit in
the U.S).
