And how do you plan to accomplish that if you install a toilet designed
to pull in sea water? 'Cuz no toilet designed to use raw water (sea,
lake, river etc) should ever be connected to the onboard fresh water
supply...


Only toilets designed to use pressurized flush water can safely be connected to the fresh water system...and
there is no manual toilet designed to use pressurized flush water.


I'm obviously confused.

Pressurized flush water? What do you mean by this?

Don't the electric pumps force air into the water tanks and push it
up? If the electric pump is off, does this mean the water system is no
longer "pressurized"? How does it work?
