Raritan Macerating Toilet splashing shi# out of the bowl

Post by cjblovinlife »

It was working fine for the four months or so that I have the boat and then all of a sudden one day just started splashing out of the bowl and onto the floor. I changed the Joker valve expecting that to correct the issue and it did not any ideas??

Maybe the discharge line to the tank is clogged,..... idea two....tank vent plugged.
FWIW.....The above is just my opinion.

Ya check what bud suggested. I know you said you replaced the joker valve but that symptom points to the valve allowing backflow which is what it's supposed to prevent. There may be something caught in the valve and blocking it open or the valve got twisted/distorted during installation which is not uncommon.

What are you using for tank deodorent? Need to use fluid only. The bags can clog up the line. I once had an issue with bowl not emptying. I ran the flush system for a few good long flushes. cleaned itself out and has been working fine. Gotta hold that button in flush mode for a good 10 seconds. 8-) er

Start with a pump out that should clean the discharge line....you can hear the air being sucked thru there then pour fresh water thru. At least that will get you started in the right direction.

Yes, as Bud says, make sure the holding tank is not full. If it is there is nowhere for the waste to go.
