This is my second question of the day. I hope I'm not abusing
my welcome, but I am sitting here and you're sitting there. I promise not to ask
any questions tomorrow.
I removed my toilet to fix a black water problem and to
strengthen the floor under it. Before reinstalling it, I'm wondering if this
toilet is worth reinstalling or maybe I should research a replacement. The
configuration is water-in to a valve, water-out to a vacuum breaker (v-360-a,
sloan valve co.), and back to the rim of the bowl. There's another hose from the
bowl back to the slide, which is plastic with an internal spring. This
configuration is messy and as usual, with my unit, has silicone holding some of
the components in place. One of the vacuum breaker hoses seems to be repaired
with a garden hose and clamps.
Following Wally's advice, I don't want to just change it, but
I do want to improve it if I need to do so. I can't operate the toilet because
the unit is winterize right now. Can someone tell me how this toilet works
and, if in practice, are all of these gadgets needed or does one basically
just uses the sprayer to flush the toilet.
Doublely Thanks,

p.s. If the vacuum breaker is an intregal part, does it need
to be piped to the closet and then back to the
toilet?
