Default Monomatic system

Just purchased a74 Gibson House with a Monomatic San. System.
Have no idea how it works,or if it still does work. Can I get some help with
this.


The Monogram Monomatic is a recirculating toilet that--along with a
couple other recirculators--was only around for short time in the late
'70s....it was discontinued around 1980...no parts have been available
since at least 1985.

How it works: The tank holds 5 gallons, 3 of which are mix of chemical
(no longer available either) and water. That witches brew becomes both
the flush water AND the holding tank...you get to inspect--and smell,
along with the chemical--the previous deposits with each new use. When
the tank is full, push a button to discharge the tank overboard at sea
or have it pumped out.

My advice: Replace it with a decent quality marine toilet and tank or
treatment device.
