Doesn't all this flushing tend to fill up the tank
rather rapidly


Yes it will.


And a small tank fills in a hurry.


According to my Jabsco toilet instruction manual it takes 7 pump
strokes per meter of hose. Lets see, if the hose is 1.5 inch (I
believe Skip said) then one meter is equal to about 1140 cubic
centimeters, or slightly more then a liter. So, if the hose between
the toilet and the holding tank is 1 meter long it is a minimum of a
liter a flush. If, on the other hand, it is longer then a meter and
there is an anti-siphon loop then....

It appears that bigger IS better...

Cheers,

Bruce
