Hi all,
At the Valentine meet this weekend, we found that after using the flush button on our Thetford cassette toilet, the powerful flow would cease when the pump stopped, however, there was a continuous trickle of water from the flushing spout, which has never happened before.
If left long enough, this fills the bowl, and would overflow of the blade wasn't operated in time. This seems to be syphoning water from our fresh water supply, and as a result, we had to dump the fresh water, and periodically fetch water from a nearby tap.
Having looked at the Thetford web site, there appears to be an electric valve, and a vacuum breaker, and although not confirmed yet, I suspect either of these two as the possible cause of the problem.
Has anyone else had the same problem, and were they able to identify the cause?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions as to the cause of the problem.
Cheers for now,
Jock.
