Judging by the advice given in the forums I think there is someone who can assist. I purchased a Raritan Elegance Freshwater Model Head. I have two problems with it that I noticed after it was installed it in MD about 18 months ago and it was bought home to FL just recently.
Since installation it has had not be used until now.
The problems are:
1. Poor water flow (it's a trickle) when it flushes making it useless.
2. Backfills with dirty water (nasty!).
The head is set up as shown here (courtesy of Don Caseys article) with vented loops on both the freshwater supply and discharge lines.
I looked at the Raritan manual many times and although it states the need for a vented loop on the discharge, it's not indicated for the Freshwater so I am wondering if that's the issue for the water flow.
I also checked the following:
1. The hose clips and everything looks like it's solid and not leaking.
2. The back flow occurs regardless of being vented to holding tank or overboard.
3. The freshwater pump meets the gpm rating for the toilet
Before bringing in someone I wanted to check if anyone had any ideas.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
