Only toilets designed to use pressurized flush water can safely be
connected to the fresh water supply.


Not disagreeing at all, but there may be another way. I've done
several deliveries on Grand Banks trawlers modified with extra fresh
water tanks plumbed directly to and only to the heads, with no
pressure other than a bit of gravity. Do you see any problem with
that arrangement? Being a sailboater, I find the waste of fresh water
apalling, but the main tanks probably hold 300 gallons. Or more.
It's a different world.
