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.



Although I had a great-working Monomatic toilet someone gave me out of
their Airstream trailer because it grossed-out their wife, I have to
agree with Peggie. The EPA didn't like the formaldehyde used to keep the
waste from growing anything and the sewer systems didn't like it killing
off their waste treatment plants, so they banned the chemicals it ran on.

However, you can still get formaldehyde from many places and the
Monomatic recirc toilet will run for weeks without a dump station. I had
one in a Class C motorhome. It replaced an RV dump toilet and was
sitting on a 25 gallon holding tank. Between the recirc's long use and
dumping it into the holding tank, I think I needed to visit the dump
station once a year, if I wanted to stretch it. It sure made great
vacations, not having to search for a dump station for the whole trip.

There's a self-cleaning filter the "liquid" is filtered with before it
flushes it back into the bowl. It smells like formaldehyde, not "you
know what", which is what also lead to its demise. Airlines used them
because maintenance and capacity, not to mention weight were minimal.

Mine never failed, even though it was second hand. I lived in the
motorhome for 3 years during the ownership and it got lots of use.

Peggie's right. Put in a stinky marine toilet you can get parts for
before you get stuck.
