Key Vacuflush® Toliet Components
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.
