Toilet flush/dribble.

[davanne]

davanne,

Thanks again, obviously the way to go as I have always thought that the flush was a feeble affair, I need an accessory shop then

Norman.

Norman ours is a reich pump and although it is quite tight to fit the truma NRV does fit in. I think it cost under a fiver to buy.
Our taps and flush were working before fitting this but with a limited flow.
Good luck

Many thanks once again, the problem with have to wait for awhile as I have just spent time getting the indicators to work, priority, priority.
I know little of a valve under the bowl and couldn't see anything that looked valve-ish, will have another look after this weekend meet at Garstang
Norman.

There is an electrically controlled valve under the bowl (I assume yours is a C200 model). The Thetford website used to have an easily accessible set of repair manuals to download but I cannot find them now. Perhaps another Funster can point you to them. Otherwise, I can upload them to the resources area but that will not be instant.

Thanks Philip but please don't bother yourself at present, thank you.

Norman.

An update, and a photo I hope. at the Garstang meet I was well surprised to see a flush in another van as mine has never been that powerful.I have managed to flush quite a lot of sludge from the inlet to the bowl with a little improvement to the flush, however I feel that the bowl must be removed to investigate further.
Can anyone tell me if the four screws in this photo of the underneath of the bowl will release the bowl, thank you.
Norman.

i dont think removing the bowl will help have you tried a bit of wire into the flush outlet to see if its blocked

Not surprised. Had I seen this yesterday I might have been able to help. Took Grandad Ted (92) to the Omcology department of the local hospital,....I could have asked, they had a cubical signed "FLOW RATE" !!
Hope you get your water works sorted asp...

 

[TUCANO]

tonyidle, thank you I will investigate when I get the time, cheers.

mitzimad, tried the wire and it stopped after about 18 inches, then used a compressed airline in both directions with a little sludge appearing which increased the flow only slightly.

The van is now back at the storage site and I have my granddaughters for the weekend so it will have to wait for awhile.

Thanks again.

Just had a likewise prob with our C200.

Pulled The top switch casing up as it's only set with mastic. NB: Only put it back with mastic!

Years of accumulated slugged attached to walls and base of bowl suggested a dirty impeller so all I needed to do was remove the four screws securing the switch base plate - pull the hose off the regulator - to allow me to lift the pump out.

Cleaned it up and test ran with a little WD40 and re-installed the lot.

Running better than ever with heaps more grunt.

SO..... Don't forget some good old cleaning as a service. This time it's all mine needed.

I'e been using Milton for years without any issues and yet have to see any foreign matter in my filter. The solution is only in for an hour or so and then thoroughly rinsed out.

 

[TUCANO]

Thanks for that, fixed that problem 5 years ago
