We've had a slow vacuum leak for 7 months on our 20 year old Vacuflush head. The pump would cycle about once an hour (sometimes more, sometimes less). At docktails, someone who fixed an identical problem said I should replace the flusher shaft o-rings. Spoiler alert: IT WORKED! I am thrilled to share this video as I struggled with this problem for months and even paid a boat yard to replace the duckbills (at great expense and it didn't change the problem). I hope this helps somebody out! Thanks for watching!
