Default vacuflush pump

@newssvr13.news.prodigy.net:

If it's not building vacuum, it could be a bit of waste or TP is caught
in a duckbill...flushing a couple of bowlfuls of water through it should
solve the problem. If that doesn't solve it, and if it's been more
than a year since the duckbill valves in the pump have been replaced,
replacing 'em should solve it...that is, unless the bowl isn't holding
water. If it's not, try cleaning the cleaning the seal on the underside
of the hole. If the bowl still won't hold water, it's because the dome
is no longer seating...the spring is worn out. The fix is a 'ball, shaft
and cartridge kit"


Meals will be served on the DOCK until the smell clears....(c;
