HEADline News: Marine Toilet Offers Electric and Manual Flush

Sept 26, 2024

The Raritan PH PowerFlush is the only electric marine toilet available that will also flush manually. This means that the device remains operational no matter the power situation.

The ultra-comfortable PH PowerFlush is available in marine and household bowl sizes, with the pump on the right or left. The included soft-close lid has integrated stops that prevent the seat from sliding when in use while underway. With a base configuration that matches standard mounting bolt patterns, it’s the perfect toilet for OEM and refit applications.

The PH PowerFlush includes Raritan’s proprietary full-size 1.5″ joker valve that delivers superior flow, while virtually eliminating clogs and backflow problems. An innovative air valve allows users to turn off incoming water but continue to flush electrically or manually without building up pressure in the pump.

When used as an electric toilet, the PH PowerFlush’s powerful drive motor is quiet and highly efficient. The device is offered in 12V and 24V DC to match any vessel’s electrical system. The included rocker switch with stainless steel bezel complements any boat’s décor.

When manual operation of the PH PowerFlush is needed, it’s as easy as removing a bolt and inserting the telescoping lever handle. The massive PHII double-action piston pump is 66% larger than competitive models and built from heavy-duty polymer to prevent corrosion-related issues. The high-performance pump clears the bowl quickly and easily, with fewer strokes.

Made in the USA, the Household-size PH PowerFlush measures 20″ D x 18.25″ W x 13.125″ H. The Marine version is 17.25″ D x 17.75″ W x 13″ H.

The Erie Canal – An Extraordinary Waterway

As I shift our chartered canal boat into neutral, I’m soothed by the soundtrack of bird calls, the occasional plaintive horn of a distant train and the hum of our engine.

I reach for the VHF to radio the lockmaster in charge of Erie Canal’s Lock 32 dead ahead. Our boat spins gently in the current like a maple key in a mud puddle.

“This is Onondaga,” I say. “Headed westbound and requesting passage.”
