These systems are rated at about 1 pint (.5 liter) per flush! Regular marine toilets use about 1.14 gallons (4.31 liters) per flush. Using a small 20 gallon holding tank as an example, thats 59 flushes witha VacuFlush® vs. 18 flushes for a traditional marine toilet. This amounts to more than tripling the capacity of your existing holding tank (functional capacity is increased by 320%).
At Conlyn Marine, we think this is just amazing. We're very enthusiastic about this product and we've installed quite a few. Our customers love them! If you visit our offices, the first thing you will see as you enter is a VacuFlush® that we've set up as a demo. Its impressive and we want you to see it in action. Stop in and we'll show you, but VacuFlush's Flash demo below is the next best thing.

Why VacuFlush® Technology Is Better
There are many differences among marine toilet systems. But compared with other systems – whether it’s a manual-pump toilet or electric macerating type – VacuFlush systems offer the most advantages that result in homelike comfort and superior performance.
Fresh water operation eliminates odors of raw water systems.
Raw water contains seaweed and other living organisms that can decay and create pungent odors in a toilet. VacuFlush systems use fresh water, eliminating the possibility of these unwanted odors.
Minimal water use improves holding tank efficiency.
Because VacuFlush systems use fresh water, they are specially engineered to use little water for flushing – as low as one pint (.5 liter) per flush – to preserve onboard supplies for other uses. This also greatly improves holding tank efficiency.
Powerful vacuum action keeps toilet and lines clean.
Vigorous water and air flow clear bowl instantly and keep plumbing lines open, reducing chances of discharge hose odor permeation.
The look and performance of household toilets.
Many VacuFlush marine toilets feature adult-size seats, deep bowls and large water surfaces to make them extremely comfortable and easy to use. Flush and Forget®* system (available on selected models) allows simple one-touch flushing – just like home!
Low power use.
VacuFlush pedal-operated toilets draw only 2 – 6 amps, and electric Flush and Forget models use only an additional 7 amps – compared with upward of 60 amps by other models.
Unbeatable reliability.
By eliminating impurities and residue of raw water systems, VacuFlush systems require less maintenance and extend component life significantly.
Enhanced resale value.
Sparkling vitreous china toilets and a powerful, easy-to-use vacuum sanitation system reflect a higher standard of quality than other systems – increasing the value of your boat.
