Toilet Problems

[Adrian]

Toilet Problems - I have a 3500 SCR 2003 with a vac flush toilet and we have lost the vacuum in the system. The vacuum pump is working but it is tripping out at the board, the macerator is working but is not pumping out to sea, the tank is full. Q. if we have no vacuum then no pressure in the tank will this effect the emptying of the tank through the macerator? look forward to your thoughts...cheers

Sounds like the toilet is clogged. First try to clear the toilet itself. I've used a long thin screwdriver to clear a clogged toilet. If the toilet is not clogged there may be a clog in the vacuum pump or you may need to replace a duckbill or two

Can you get the holding tank pumped out to determine if that is part of the problem?

Thanks for your reply guys, we pumped out the holding tank, cleared the pip under the hull and found the blockage there. Thanks so much for your help
