I installed Raritan Atlantes back in 2005 and have had zero issue with them. 32v, freshwater flush.

I second Sky’s comment, however I don’t think they make them in 32 volts anymore, my two are 12 volt. John

I replaced my VF with Raritan Elegance. One standard size and one elongated house size. Love them. Easy install and they work very well

Thanks for input was hooking up hoses difficult with being diffrent sizes or way routed !

 

[Pascal]

It was pretty much plug in. The Raritan accept 1” and 1 1/2” hoses so no issue connecting the existing hose.

I really like the home size elongated bowl that I used in the master. Much more comfortable than the standard size I installed in the guest head. Only downside is that you have to flush longer and use more water. Although using more water helps reduce deposits and permeation in the hoses.

Do you think the Raritan uses more water then the GM? Seemed like they use less. I almost always use the water saver button and it seems to clear most debris.

My 53 had been converted with VF before I bought it in 2003

The regular size Raritan doesn’t use much water. It the full size elongated version which does. The hole at the bottom of the bowl is elongated as well with a bigger opening and you flush twice as long.

As mentioned it s a good thing in the long run to reduce deposits in the hoses anyway

Looks like Raritan it is any advice on which modle thet have alot to choose from

I use raw water to flush my raritan elegance. I just installed a demand diaphragm pump from an unused thru hull to the toilet. When the water valve on the toilet opens the pump sees demand and flushes. I ran it for a year from boat tank water but always worried about running out. It has been a flawless setup for ten years now.

Don't use seawater flushing as the boats in seawater almost always change to fresh water to keep the odor down.

I sell alot of toilets and almost never sell a seawater flush.

Pm me if you need guidance through the 100 options raritan offers.

The Raritan Elegance have different models for seawater, freshwater, or both.

I have to replace or reseal one vacuflush pump unit that’s spilling sewage into my generator room, plus duckbills. Y’all are on the right track with the whole no vacuflush thing.
