Hi Everyone,
I have an electric head in the forward stateroom and a manual head aft. My problem is that I always get backflow into the heads shortly after flushing. I'm sure its because the holding tanks are both behind the heads and the water is lifted about 3 feet into the top of the holding tank. I have replaced the joker valves numerous times, but it never seems to solve the problem. I suspect if I pump enough water through the head to ensure all clean water in the hose, it would be ok, but that is a lot of extra water. I'm thinking of installing vacuum flush heads and hope that will help some. Has anyone encountered this problem and how do you deal with it. Thanks for your input in advance.
