[VAC] Black Water Tank (third try)



I have a Monogram Industries Monomatic re-circulating toilet which I am
fixing to put out for trash pickup tomorrow morning.  It was in my
Streamline Travel Home, and I have just finished removing the Monomatic and
replacing it with a modern Thetford.
     I believe that the Monomatic still works.  Certainly, when the
recirculating button was pushed, there was a whirring noise, as though the
toilet was trying to do something.  It appears that you do not need a water
line to the toilet, only a 12V line to the circulating motor.  It is charged
with four gals. of water which is used and reused until you change it out at
some point.  Some type of deoderant/breakdown agent is added to the water.
     I don't know what the blackwater tank arrangement was.  This is an
above floor model, and the tank, if any, was below the floor and is still in
place.  I am attaching a picture of this little gem.  You can see the wiring at the
top left of the toilet.  It attaches to a regular toilet flange.
     You can probably find out more about the toilet through a search
engine.  They were a marine toilet, and used in boats.
     If anyone is interested in taking this one, please let me know before I
get rid of it in the morning.
