Default For Peggie: conversion of a Jabsco 37010 Series electric toilets to "Quiet - Flush"

Hello Peggy,

Thanks for all your good advice on the Net , and for your excellent book.

May be you can help in the following problem too.

I have two Jabsco 37010 Series standard electric toilets ( + one spare ) on
my boat. They work fine, but are far too noisy. The so-called "Quiet- Flush
conversion kit" by Jabsco costs around $600 and is really a complete new
unit, where most parts seem identical to the standard unit. The only
difference seems that the water pump is separate and is a more silent model.
I think that Jabsco should have offered a true, lower cost true" conversion
kit" for the existing toilets, where only the pump would be replaced.

Anyway, I would not like to spend approx $1800 and replace an equipment
that still works fine. I am wondering if I could not achieve the same noise
reduction by disconnecting the built-in water pumps on my existing toilets,
and replacing them by external quiet pumps, which would cost much less. I
guess that I would also have to remove the impellers of the old pumps,
otherwise, they would still make some noise and may end up burning.

Do you know if this is a valid idea, and if it has been tried?

Thanks in advance,

Robert
