Well, I have a couple of Lavacs. With five years live aboard use I've
had three re-builds -- easy but not fun -- and two clogs that required
disassembly. Most of my marine sanitation problems have been with the
Y-valves and I can't blame Lavac for them. Some folks don't like the
seats on Lavacs. They take more cleaning because the seals leave a
mark and they can be a bit damp if cycled quickly... All in all
they're pretty good kit.
