Why is the Raritan toilet pumpout poor, especially with solids?
- A
  Alisha WilliamsonAug 14, 2025
  Poor pumpout in Raritan toilets, especially with solids, can stem from several causes. First, ensure the discharge seacock is fully open. Restrictions in plumbing, such as bends and ells, can impede flow, so consider replumbing to minimize these. Clogged vents, including the holding tank vent and vented loop vents, can also be a factor, requiring cleaning. Mineral buildup in hoses and fittings may also restrict flow, necessitating cleaning or replacement of affected parts. Low voltage can also affect pump performance; check the voltage at the toilet while it's running and inspect batteries, wire sizes, terminals, and connections for corrosion. Finally, inspect the discharge pump wall; if it's not intact, reposition it or replace the pump if needed.

Why doesn't the concentrate tank empty (or overflows) in my Raritan toilet?
- N
  Nathaniel ShawAug 17, 2025
  If the concentrate tank in your Raritan toilet does not empty or overflows, a malfunctioning check valve could be the cause. Try removing and rinsing the check valve in warm water before reinstalling it. If the problem continues, the check valve may need to be replaced. Insufficient water flow from the pump can also cause this issue, so check the water flow and correct it as needed.

Why is my Raritan toilet operating erratically or running sluggishly?

  Erratic operation or sluggish running in your Raritan toilet can stem from worn motor brushes. In this case, the motor should be returned to the factory for servicing or replacement. Motor bearings damaged by a seal leak can also cause this issue; return the motor to the factory for servicing or replace the macerator seal. If the bearings are bad, exchange the lower base. Low or inconsistent voltage can also lead to erratic operation. Check the voltage at the toilet while it's running and inspect batteries, wire sizes, terminals, and connections for corrosion.

Why do I have foul odors from my Raritan Crown Head Toilets?
- C
  christine09Aug 25, 2025
  Foul odors from your Raritan toilet area can arise from several sources. Marine life may become lodged in the bowl rim, so remove any material and flush the bowl thoroughly. Consider installing a strainer in the intake line to prevent recurrence. Regularly fill the reservoir with Raritan concentrate. Another cause could be a permeated discharge hose, which should be replaced with Raritan sanitation hose. Sewage remaining in the discharge line can also lead to odors; try flushing the toilet longer, replacing the hose if permeated, or rerouting the hose for a shorter run. Lastly, ensure the concentrate reservoir is filled with Raritan Concentrate and water.

Why is the water flow poor in my Raritan Crown Head?
- N
  Nicholas MoranAug 28, 2025
  Poor water flow in Raritan toilets, especially at the front of the bowl, can be due to several factors. First, ensure the toilet is level by raising the rear if necessary. Check for any restrictions in the intake line, ensuring the seacock is open and clearing any clogs. The check ball may be stuck, so remove the intake hose and gently free the check ball. Air being sucked into the pump can also cause this issue, so inspect all connections from the intake thru-hull to the intake pump for air leaks. Low voltage can also affect pump performance. A worn or broken intake pump impeller can also cause poor flow, requiring replacement. Lastly, a clogged strainer can restrict water flow, so clean any debris from the strainer.

What to do if Raritan Crown Head Toilets bowl fills while underway?
- C
  Curtis ScottSep 1, 2025
  If your Raritan toilet bowl fills while underway, it could be due to pressure buildup at the seacocks. Close both the intake and discharge seacocks to determine which one is causing the problem. If it's the intake, replace the check ball and spring. If it's the discharge, ensure the vent or vented loop is clean. If the issue persists with the intake, there may be excessive pressure on the seacock; contact Raritan Technical Support.

Why is my Raritan toilet making loud noises?
- C
  Catherine HubbardSep 5, 2025
  Loud noises from your Raritan toilet unit may be caused by an object jammed in the macerator. Remove the front cover and clear any obstructions. Alternatively, the motor bearings may be damaged due to a seal leak or other water source. In this case, return the motor to the factory for servicing or replacement.

What to do if water leaking from under Raritan CH15DD unit?
- A
  Angela RoachSep 9, 2025
  If water is leaking from under your Raritan CH15DD toilet unit, it could be due to a leaking bowl gasket. Try tightening the four bowl mounting nuts. Another possible cause is a leaking front cover. Remove the front cover and inspect the O-ring for damage, replacing it if necessary and using Super Lube during reassembly. A leak at the shaft seal could also be the source. Inspect the seal and motor shaft.
