I have a question - I use the Lectra San button to flush the head.
There is a pot (or trimmer) for setting the flush time. Mine is set
to flush the head for about 10 seconds. It's about a 2.5 foot trip
from the head discharge to the Lectra San. Is ten seconds enough time
to get things flushed well through the hose? Too much? It seems to
be right for getting the "contents" out of the bowl and have a couple
of seconds more water behind it. Is that an adequate method for
determining flush time? Peggy?

10 seconds should be enough to move bowl contents 2.5'. An equally
important consideration is whether that may be too long. Because the L/S
discharges by overflowing (the discharge volume is equal to the volume
that comes in), to ensure that the waste is fully treated before it's
pushed out, the max amount that should go into the L/S with each flush
is about 1 gallon. So if a 10 second flush uses enough flush water to
put much more than a gallon into it, you need to reduce the time. I'm
not sure what the flush water volume from your toilet is...you prob'ly
ought to ask Jabsco.
