Thetford marine seem to be the people for these but they will only deal with their authorised retailers, is there a retailer that knows anything about these ?
InterestingI bet the problem you're having is that the discharge pump works, but no water comes in, right?
That's typical, particularly after they aren't used for some time.
If that's what happens, hit the orange valve on its side with a rubber hammer or something, right upon push of the "before" button.
Usually, one or two strikes are sufficient to bring it back to life.
Correct.So, what you are saying is that the solenoid valves stick from time to time.
Its probably that Italian water.Correct.
In my experience (2 bowls x 17 years on the previous boat, and 3 bowls x 4 years on the current one), they almost always do, after left unused for months.
Otoh, after "un-stucking" them, it's pretty rare to experience the problem again while they are used regularly.
Chris, I used Keto Marine at Swanwick for my Tecma WCs in my last boat. Contact was Toby, 01489 583000. Seem very knowledgeable, might be worth a call.Thetford marine seem to be the people for these but they will only deal with their authorised retailers, is there a retailer that knows anything about these ?
