I always have to grin when people tell me the Lavac needs no
maintenance, that only the pump requires occasional--about every 5
years or so--rebuilding. I don't know of any other toilet BOWLS that
require any maintenance either...MAYBE a new seat/lid every 10 years
or so--which is usually less often than the Lavac needs a new
seal. Nor does any decent quality toilet pump require rebuilding any
more often than about once every 5 years or so as long as it's kept
lubricated.

But there's something about putting the pump 2-5' from the bowl
instead of right next to it on the same base that changes everything
in people's minds.

I'm not knocking the Lavac...it's an outstanding toilet--though not
necessarily the right toilet for everyone. But I can't help wondering
if it would have even a fraction of the appeal it has, if it worked
exactly the same way, but the pump and bowl were side-by-side on a
single base.

You are absolutely right! I never thought of that but it is true,
psychologically it makes a difference. Or, as they say: It is all in
the head
