Great video Captain! I have a 2002 formula 27Pc, docked at Bear Lake Marina Utah, I replaced the whole pump, Jason a nice guy in Huntington L.I., N.Y, where I use to live! Has all the parts you need! I found the ball seal gets partials of dirt in it and the seal will leak, gloved hand and use your finger to clean it out! Also if you cannot find the liquid seal, use silicon tire shine to loon the seal for winter storage . Chow JohnBoyUtah, Brenda’ hubbie!🇺🇸😎🚤🚤🚤🚤🚤🚤🚤
Thank you for sharing this great information. Do you have any information on the pedal seal. I looked for it online and cannot find that seal. If you have any information you could share, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
Thanks - glad you found it helpful! We’ve never had to replace seal by foot pedal but I believe you’ll find the part of you search Dometic/SeaLand Vacuflush Spring Cartridge Kit (Plastic Pedal) which seems to include the proper seal too.
I have replaced the duck bills 2 times. There is always water in the bowl and it leaks down so quickly, maybe 2 min. Between pump ups. I dont think the shaft at the foot pedal can be leaking you would hear air sucking right?
Hmmm so you’re losing vacuum pressure from something- there are 2 seals by the head, in bowl and by foot pump, but could also be a hose connection back by pump worth checking
@@MyBoatLife correct, I replaced the one seal by the foot pump, the other one you reference in the bowl doesn't appear to be the issue because it's holding water.
I read in the Sealand Vacuflush manual that the system will run periodically and that it's normal. So over a longer period of time, it should lose enough vacuum to start the pump.
The best thing you can do with a vacuflush toilet is rip it out and replace with an electric one , I’ve had a vacuflush for 10 years and live aboard , I know the system backwards and some , with the cost of parts now it’s just not worth replacing them for me , as a live aboard I wear everything out in under 12 months
I suppose that’s an option, we’ve never had any problems we couldn’t handle but if you had any major parts broken a full swap might be something to consider
The ball went to the other side and is in the open position. Maybe it’s has to do with spring disconnected from foot pedal. What’s ur diagnosis? Thanks
Oh wow never saw that problem before but does sound like the connection between the foot pedal & ball and that spring is necessary to return the ball & pedal to the proper position. Unfortunately you’re gonna have to take apart to see - good luck!
My vacuflush wouldn't stop pumping. Even with new everything including the switch. Finally I discovered that the waste tank vent was clogged. The tank was becoming pressurized and the pump could not make enouh vacuum. Once cleared it worked fine. Now the ball doesn't move with the pedal. Next I'll pull it apart. If its a major problem we're going to a composting toilet.
Can someone help me? Mine the water keeps running. It looks like it’s coming from the top of the rim of the toilet. It runs so much that it overflowed onto the floor of my boat. Who knows what’s wrong? I am also considering going to a compost toilet
@@lifehackcoach4746 I did rebuild my toilet. New ball, shaft and water valve. It wasn't too difficult. I think it's better than the composter. You probably need a new water valve.
Ok, so what do you make of this... push the pedal to the floor to flush and the ball valve (flap, valve, not sure what you call that round ball flap) does not move... so no flush? Thoughts?
