Whatever happened to Monomatic recirculating toilets? I replaced the cheap
RV flusher on a motorhome I had a long time ago with a Monomatic. With the
recirculating toilet dumping into a 33 gallon holding tank, you only had to
go to a dump station once a trip! I got the Monomatic for free from an
Airstream owner whos squeemish wife just couldn't understand flushing with
the same water over and over...(c;

Those things still made? They worked great!


It was discontinued about 25 years ago 'cuz you were one of the few
people who liked it.

Danforth also made a recirculator for a while in the '70s...it didn't
last as long as the Monomatic, for the same reason.

The marine versions were actually certified as Type I MSDs, intended to
be discharged overboard when full. They weren't too bad when used that
way, 'cuz they only held 5 gal, 3 of which was the "charge" of chemical
and water...they were dumped often enough to keep 'em from stinking. But
when they had to go into a tank, PEEEEEUUUW!
