Fresh water toilet flush

700 for the mod seams a little steep

Anybody have a parts list with instructions?

How about “free”?

We just pull out the faucet in the sink, point it at the bowl (set to spray), turn it on and, on our system, push the two buttons that make for “flush only” (meaning no fill of the bowl). Ends the need for a toilet bowl brush too. Works like a charm and sizes the amount of fresh water used to the functional demand of stuff in the bowl. Always finish with a little extra to cover the joker valve.

The reason we adopted this was so we could effortlessly go back to raw water use when trying to conserve freshwater on longer cruises.

As I say, “free” and works better.

When I converted mine in 2017 it was 119.00 for the Raritan SeaEra conversion. Part number 162CF1. It is now 220.00 for the kit. It was very easy to do the conversion and a must in my mind if cruising in salt water.

I now have a Jabsco electric head in my 34 Pilot. It is also a raw water flush.The boat has been used in fresh water since new. We plan on bringing it south and east and using it in salt water. The Jabsco kit is as much as a new head. My plan is to add a 10 gallon fresh water tank exclusively for the head. I can purchase a fresh water tank for under 100.00 install a deck fill fitting and vent with hose for under 100.00. I will plumb the head to the tank now I have fresh water flush and I'm not using my potable fresh water capacity. We have 70 Gallons of usable water + 10 gallons of fresh for flush.

Brian - I purchased the kit to do the conversion and it seems relatively straightforward. However, where did you pull the water from for this? Did you run it off the sink line? Thanks!

I installed a tee at the water pump. And ran the hose to the head.

Thanks (as always).

Perhaps related to this topic I am looking for options which allow flushing on my '15 C26 when it's on the trailer. I'm intrigued with Jeff's suggestion to simply use the sink faucet to help flush however I don't have the 'flush only' option. I found this piece of literature on the Raritan website
https://www.raritaneng.com/uploads/seaera-informational-sheet-4af433b2.pdf
which appears to show my same SeaEra Integral model. In the description it says

The inlet pump can lift water from four feet(1.22m) below the toilet and can be run dry without damaging the pump.

Does this imply I'm ok to flush when the boat is on the trailer using some assistance from the sink faucet?

Check out the commoderizer, you won’t regret it. I have salt water flush and the device changed the game. I have posts on here about my install.

My boat is berthed in saltwater 100% of the time. I starting having odors after it was about 3 years old. I worked around the problem with shower fresh water flushing and established that the problem is solely the input line. I had intended to install a commoderizer, however, thought I'd give flushing the raw water line with vinegar a try. It's been close to a year without odor, even the Admiral isn't complaining, so I now carry a gallon of cheap Costco vinegar should the odor return.

We do not have your model of head but in both our R-25 Classic and C-28 we use the head while trailer boating about 4-8 nights a year. Use the sink faucet add water as needed while flushing. No problems!
