It's amazing how much good a gallon of vinegar a year does for each head.

your discharge lines for clogging?

He didn't mention what kinds of problems he's having with Groco...but
it's amazing how many repairs wouldn't be necessary if there was any
preventive maintenance done. But preventive maintenance is something
that never occurs to most boat owners...they assume that because
household toilets don't need any, marine toilets don't either. So the
toilet works fine for about year or two--till it needs some...after
that, it's never-ending battle to fix what breaks but didn't have to.
And, of course, it's always because the toilet is a "piece of junk."
