low water flow to jabsco electric head
- Thread starter planoron
- Start date
Model/approx age of the toilet? Salt/brackish water or fresh? If sea water, remote intake pump or integral? And finally...how old is the battery, and is the toilet on it own dedicated circuit shared by NOTHING else, not even cabin lights. If not, what else is on that circuit including something you've added or upgraded?

i'd say its 7 yrs old, flushes fine and macerator has plenty of umph. We can fill the bowl and it sends it right out. however the inflow around the top of the bowl has evidently stopped or slowed to a crawl. Fresh water and on its own breaker with a 2yr old house battery
At least you answered a couple of my questions...
You said you "can fill the bowl and it sends it right out. however the inflow around the top of the bowl has evidently stopped or slowed to a crawl." Translation: the toilet works fine if we use a cup, bucket, shower head to add water to the bowl, but little or no water is getting in through the channel in the rim of the bowl.
Two most likely culprits: a clogged strainer or a buildup in that channel along with "plugs" in most of the holes in it that can either be mineral or the same stuff that's clogged your strainer.
Start with the strainer.

Once upon a time we had a critter crawl into the sea water inlet and die, thus plugging the inflow of sea water. Tried to flush and all we got was bits of stinking dead stuff. Used a city water hose to blow out the debris and all has been fine since. Just a suggestion. No sea water strainer for the head flushing, just a straight line to the toilet.
