Re: [VAL] Saniware Toilet

[John Sellers <jsellers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chuck,

I second Bebe on this.  On the Saniware "Swirl-o-matic" toilet on our 1960 Pacer 
(don'cha just love those 60s trademarks!), what you see is what you get.  The 
pedal operates the flapper valve between the toilet bowl and the black tank, and 
the "shutoff valve" beside the toilet, underneath the vacuum break, is all that 
controls the water.

I personally like the manual water control, as it allows you to control the 
amount of water, which is important when you only have a 7.5 gallon black tank 
like we do in the Pacer.  The only problem is that it takes full water pressure 
to get a good "swirl", and that takes opening the valve a turn or two.  One of 
these days I am going to replace the water valve with a quarter-turn ball valve 
so you can give it a brief spurt of full pressure to flush.  Might even put a 
Victorian-looking porcelain handle on the quarter-turn valve so it would "look 
like" the flush valve rather than a shutoff valve. . .

Best regards,
