OPERATION
The Quiet-Flush toilet provides both quiet operation and
user control of water levels in the toilet bowl. A single
large push button switch provides a simple flush mode
by activating both the rinse water supply and the macer-
ator discharge pump
simultaneously. An additional rocker
switch offers independent control of the rinse water supply
and discharge pump separately so the bowl water level
can be easily raised or lowered by the user. This provides
a method of minimizing water use, when desired, as well
as a means of raising the water level in the bowl when
appropriate for user comfort. It also allows for complete
evacuation of the bowl water while underway in rough
sea conditions.
INSTALLATION
PLUMBING
The toilet can be plumbed to any pressurized water sys-
tem that can provide a minimum of 3-1/2 GPM (13.5
LPM). This may be a fresh water system including the
vessels potable water system or a washdown system
utilizing either fresh or salt water. However, it must be
connected to a pressurized system that normally re-
mains on at all times while the vessel is in use.
To make the water connection, shut off the water system
pump and open one of the systems faucets or fixtures to
drain the pressure from the system. Select an appropri-
ate tee type fitting that can be installed in the existing
pressurized water system and will provide a 1/2"
(13mm) hose barb to feed water to the toilet. Install the
tee fitting at a location on the pressurized water system
that provides convenient connection to the toilets
solenoid valve/ siphon breaker assem
bly. If the toilet is
being connected to the vessels fresh water system and
the vessel may be connected to an unregulated city
water supply, it is recommended that a valve be installed
in the toilet water supply line ahead of the solenoid
valve/siphon breaker to regulate the flow rate of
incoming pressurized city water.

Overview

The Jabsco Quiet-Flush Electric Toilet, Model 37045-Series, is a marine sanitation device designed for quiet and efficient operation, offering features typically found in household toilets. It is engineered to provide user control over water levels in the bowl, contributing to both comfort and water conservation.

Function Description

The primary function of the Quiet-Flush toilet is to provide a sanitary waste disposal system for marine environments. It operates with a single large push-button switch that simultaneously activates the rinse water supply and the macerator discharge pump, ensuring a complete and effective flush. An additional rocker switch offers independent control of the rinse water supply and discharge pump, allowing users to easily raise or lower the water level in the bowl. This independent control is a key feature, enabling users to minimize water usage when desired or to increase the water level for enhanced comfort. It also facilitates complete evacuation of bowl water, which is particularly useful when navigating in rough sea conditions.

The toilet is designed to be plumbed into any pressurized water system capable of providing a minimum flow rate of 3-1/2 GPM (13.5 LPM). This can include the vessel's fresh water system, potable water system, or a washdown system utilizing either fresh or salt water. A crucial safety feature is the water control solenoid valve with an anti-siphon breaker, which prevents contamination of the potable water supply. The system incorporates a high-capacity waste macerator and bowl discharge pump to efficiently process and remove waste.

Usage Features

The Quiet-Flush toilet boasts several features aimed at enhancing user experience and convenience:

  • Quiet Flush Cycle: Designed to operate with minimal noise, mimicking the quietness of a household toilet.
  • Single Button Flush Actuator: Simplifies the flushing process, making it intuitive and easy to use.
  • Dual Function Water Level Control Switch: Offers flexibility in managing water levels within the toilet bowl, allowing for both water conservation and user comfort.
  • Versatile Plumbing Options: Can be connected to various pressurized water systems on board, including fresh or salt water, provided the minimum flow rate is met.
  • Anti-Siphon Breaker: Ensures the safety of the potable water supply by preventing backflow contamination.
  • Durable Construction: Features a white vitreous china bowl, available in either a compact or comfortable household size, ensuring longevity and ease of cleaning.
  • Comfortable Seating: Comes with a baked enamel seat and cover, with a soft-close seat option available on regular bowl models for added convenience and reduced noise.
  • Efficient Waste Management: Equipped with a high-capacity waste macerator and bowl discharge pump for effective waste processing.

For installation, the solenoid valve/siphon breaker must be positioned a minimum of six inches above the hose connection at the back of the toilet bowl, considering all angles of heel and trim, and as close to the toilet as possible. It should be located where any occasional water drops from the siphon breaker will not adversely affect nearby equipment or supplies. The valve assembly must be installed vertically with the hose barb connections pointing downwards and secured to a solid mounting surface. A six-foot section of smooth white hose is provided to connect the toilet bowl spud fitting to the siphon breaker outlet hose barb, ensuring a clean and sanitary appearance.

The solenoid valve inlet hose barb connects to the vessel's water system line using 1/2" (13mm) reinforced vinyl hose. All pressurized water system connections should be secured with stainless steel band-type hose clamps. The 3/4" hose connecting the siphon breaker to the bowl should also be secured with a band clamp to prevent accidental dislodgement.

For discharge, the toilet's 1" (25mm) hose barb should be plumbed with 1" (25mm) hose to an on-board holding tank or, if appropriate, to an overboard discharge through-hull. A 1" (25mm) to 1-1/2" (38mm) barbed hose adapter is provided for flexibility. Discharge plumbing should be kept as short as possible with minimal bends. If the toilet is installed below the waterline and plumbed to an overboard discharge, a properly positioned vented loop in the discharge hose is mandatory to prevent flooding. The vented loop must remain above the waterline at all angles of heel and trim, and the total discharge head should not exceed 4 feet (1.2m). To retain water in the bowl, the discharge hose should be looped upward about eight to ten inches above the base of the toilet, as near to the toilet as practically possible without creating an unsightly plumbing situation.

Electrical wiring should be independent of other accessories, using marine-grade copper stranded wire of the specified gauge. All wire connections must use mechanical locking type connectors (crimp type butt connectors and terminals). The circuit must be protected by a properly sized fuse or circuit breaker. All wires should be secured to a solid surface approximately every eighteen inches (1/2m) along their entire length. The switch panel should be located conveniently for the user, allowing access for wiring to the toilet's motor, solenoid valve/siphon breaker, and the electrical power source. The red lead from the panel connects to an over-current protected positive power source, the brown lead to the waste pump positive (orange) motor lead, and the black waste pump motor lead to battery negative. The yellow lead connects to a solenoid valve terminal, with the remaining solenoid valve terminal connecting to battery negative. The solenoid valve is not polarity sensitive.

Maintenance Features

The Jabsco Quiet-Flush Toilet is designed for minimal routine maintenance, primarily focusing on cleaning and occasional seal replacement.

  • Routine Cleaning: Requires only occasional cleaning with mild, non-abrasive cleaners. Strong aromatics, pine-scented, or degreaser concentrates should be avoided as they can cause the pump's seal to swell, potentially leading to premature seal leaks.
  • Shaft Seal Replacement: The toilet has no wearing parts that require periodic replacement other than the shaft seal. Under normal conditions, the shaft seal should provide several years of service. Replacement is only necessary if signs of leakage are observed under the seal housing, which is positioned between the motor and the toilet base assembly.

Before performing any service, it is crucial to disconnect the power supply to the toilet and ensure it cannot be reconnected until service is complete. All water should be pumped from the toilet bowl, and if connected to an overboard discharge, the discharge seacock must be closed to prevent flooding.

To replace the shaft seal:

  1. Snap off the white motor cover.
  2. Remove the pump assembly by unscrewing the four screws with lock washers that secure it to the toilet base.
  3. Carefully slide the pump assembly from the base, ensuring the macerator housing also slides out with the pump. The pump chopper may engage the macerator housing, requiring a gentle tap to free it.
  4. Prevent the motor shaft from turning by inserting a screwdriver into the shaft slot at the rear of the motor.
  5. Unscrew the nut retaining the chopper blade, then remove the chopper and macerator housing from the motor shaft.
  6. Remove the O-ring from the O-ring groove around the outer diameter of the seal housing.
  7. Using an allen wrench, loosen the centrifugal impeller set screw and slide the impeller off the shaft.
  8. Remove the two screws securing the seal housing to the motor and slide the housing off the motor shaft.
  9. Remove the two seal washers from under the head of each of the two seal housing retainer screws.
  10. Grasp the shaft seal with needle nose pliers and pull it from the seal housing.
  11. Clean all parts and inspect for damage.
  12. Lubricate the OD of the new seal with a small amount of water and press it into the seal bore with the seal's lip facing the threaded end of the shaft. Do not use the stainless steel star retaining washer supplied with the seal.
  13. Lubricate the ID of the seal and the motor shaft with a small amount of water-resistant grease.
  14. Ensure the slinger is properly positioned on the motor shaft next to the motor and slide the seal housing onto the motor shaft until it is against the motor end bell.
  15. Position a new plastic seal washer under the head of each of the flat head seal housing retainer screws and secure the seal housing to the motor.
  16. Slide the centrifugal impeller onto the motor shaft, positioning it about 1/32" (1mm) from the seal housing, and secure it with the set screw. Rotate the impeller to ensure it does not rub on the seal housing.
  17. Slide the macerator housing over the motor shaft, place the lock washer on the end of the shaft, and screw the chopper onto the shaft. Tighten the chopper while holding the motor shaft at the rear of the motor.
  18. Position a new O-ring in the seal housing O-ring groove (it can be retained with a small amount of grease).
  19. Slide the pump assembly into the toilet base, ensuring the macerator housing is properly positioned within the base. The cut-out in the side of the macerator housing must align with the discharge port in the base (the macerator housing is keyed for proper positioning).
  20. Ensuring the O-ring is still properly positioned in the O-ring groove in the seal housing, place the pump assembly against the base and secure it in place with the four screws and lock washers.
  21. Replace the white motor cover by snapping it down over the pump motor.
