wot i learned about electric heads

[Trevethan]

Fitted electrics head over the weekend. Wonderful they are... life changing.. however learned some important lessons.

Firstly, don't expect loo to come with wiring diagram, plumbing directions, or anything else handy.

Second, don't expect the motor to fit in the gap you have. expect to have to dismantle loo and reposition motor.

Thirdly, due to lack of instructions etc, make sure you remember which way the hose between bowl and motor connects when you have had to dismantle the thing.

Fourthly listen to wife when she say hose is connected wrongly.

Fifthly Don't expect online chandlery to supply you with the stuff you need, and also expect them to sell you stuff you don't need.

Finally... and most importantly, the pumps in these are really powerful, so make sure the outlet seacock is open before you turn it on otherwise heads compartment get redcorated as hose splits and sprays contents everywhere.

I won't even start on the tale of taking out of the old one... suffice it to say when the sun came out and shone on the old one while it rested in deck (hoses over the side I should add (umm well not initially but after I noticed the water seeping along deck)) prior to disposal, I was not a a populat person with SWMBO,

(Bicarbonate of soda dumped on deck, scrubbed in, then washed off with vinegar then water got rid of all pong)
