Dometic brings the technology, comfort and efficiency of VacuFlush Sanitation Systems in an easy-to-
use and easy-to-maintain package.
•
Freshwater Flush
• Eliminates the unpleasant sulfide odors which plague saltwater systems.
• Eliminates the need to draw flush water through the through-hull, seacock and vented loop.
• Significantly extends life of system components by eliminating saltwater and impurities from
accumulating in the system over time.
•
Efficient Design
• Consumes a little over a pint of water per flush and allows boat owners to use a small waste tank.
The VacuFlush system fills a ten-gallon (28.4 liter) tank in the same time that an electric toilet fills a
40-gallon (113.6 liter) tank.
• Uses only 4-6 amps per flush on 12 VDC.
•
