Replacement for an SL400 sea toilet.

[jhughes]

Has anyone found a suitably sized replacement for the SL400?
When I bought my Pandora the previous owner had removed the toilet to repair the diaphram, he took it apart and forgot about it and in the end he dumped the pump and left the bowl and seat onboard. The maximum height of a replacement cannot be more than 300MM or 12" so that cuts out the majority of toilets.
Don't really fancy the idea of a porta potti so I am hoping someone has an Sl400 they want to get rid of (even a non working but repairable pump unit) or knows of a similar sized replacement.

I really do not think you will find one that is no more than 12" tall. Please let me know if you do!

The SL 400 was available from Lee Sanitation until recently but I dont think it is now. Spare parts maybe. It was so expensive that I doubt if they sold any!

I dont fancy a porta potti either but i am coming to the conclusion that may be the only solution (at present using a bucket!) There are some alternatives to the Porta Potti brand one I came across had some neat holding down clamps.

30 yrs ago there was the " Bal-Head" an american toilet.
a very simple toilet no real moving parts, never blocked it.
i fitted 2 boats with them

I got spares for mine from a Swindlery near Queen Annes Battery in Plymouth. sorry, I can't remember the name. Horribly expensive but now have a working head in a small space. I just googles SL400 spares and it came up with quite a list.

Try here. They say the majority of spares are still available, they may do the whole pump.

Re: How much

Depends how bad you want one - if nothing else fits, options are limited.

Re: How much

its the little springs that let an otherwise good toilet down.
cant beat a Lavac the last 2 boats had/have a Lavac

Re: How much

I've got one in mine. The last owner serviced it so I'll leave alone as long as it works, but it will be a Lavac when it gives up.

Re: How much

So you prefer "Lavac" then

Re: How much

Less to go wrong and easier to work on, but I can't justify replacing a functioning toilet.

[/ QUOTE ] While agreeing that a Lavac beats most of the alternatives you would have to beat it pretty hard to compress it into 12"!
