Default Lavac Heads

I am considering replacing a POS Raritan head with the Lavac
Vacuum System.
Does anyone have any first hand experience with them?


Good systems, very simple. Guests aboard need to be briefed to
close the lid for flushing, but that's easier than having dual
pumps or in/out changeover levers. Electric ones are slow, and of
course, the pump vanes are a little more prone to clogging, so
they're not my choice. Normal failure is of the seat seal - they
seem to have a life of 2 years or so with live-aboard use. Useful
to have a spare if you're travelling far afield.
