That's £201 then?

If you fit a Lavac and follow the installation instructions carefully you will be able to say good bye to toilet problems

On the other hand, there are squillions of Jabsco toilets working reliably all over the world, including mine.

True - mine's only 20 years old.

Check that the 'O' ring on the pump plunger has not come adrift. Pump then moves up/down easily and water sloshes but does not pump anywhere.

But will not cause the joker to invert.

Problem now resolved! Blockage located and cleared, and having contacted Jabsco they're sending replacement parts, which was unexpected and great! Thanks very much everyone who responded to this thread

So out of interest, where was the blockage...? Was it in the outlet pipe causing pressure to build and then invert the joker valve as the pump handle raised or was it something else?

Thanks in advance....

I would appreciate a bit more knowledge about this. The fact that replacement parts were needed suggests there is a little more to the story. Please tell!

See post 13. He stripped a base thread and had a crack in pump body, so required parts. Not the reason for non-operation though.

Exactly.. would still be interesting to know if it was a blockage in the inlet, outlet or the intermediate hose that caused these symptoms..
