Hi - a question for Peggy (or anyone else who's ever done something
like the following)

I'm looking seriously at replacing my old electric Lavac with the new
Tecma Easyfit. The specs (and measurements) look great. Does this seem
reasonable?

The "solenoid" version of the Tecma assumes that you would be using
fresh water flush. What I'd really like to do is plumb it for either
fresh or salt water flush. That way I could use salt at sea when fresh
water is scarce.

I'm guessing that your salt water pressure system is a washdown pump
that shares the same thru-hull as your existing head intake. I think
what you want to do can be done, but I'm not sure that just a y-valve is
enough to protect your potable water supply. I do know who can tell you
how to do it, though: Dick Brunson at Yacht Products International, Inc.
They're in Seattle, and the largest Tecma dealer in the US. His prices
are pretty good too. Give him a call: 866-922-4882
