Mansfield Toilet System
Posted: Sun Aug 06, 2017 6:53 pm
After searching the existing threads, I am having trouble finding information on my Mansfield Toilet System that seems to pre-date most.
The system does not build up, and "hold" a vacuum, rather when you flush the head, you push a little silver button on the back of the toilet, which starts the remote vacuum pump. The pump runs until a green light comes on, then you step on the "flush" lever.
The system was working great, then out of nowhere, it is struggling to build a vacuum on the tank. (The discharge hoses run direct from the toilets to the holding tank)
I can unhook the discharge hoses at the tank, (which isolates the system to the pump, and tank, eliminating any issues with the toilets themselves) put my hand over the fitting and feel the pump sucking vacuum, and bleeding off over and over. I have checked all of the tank fittings, and they seem solid. I am curious if there is some kind of vacuum pressure switch built into the pump itself??? Any ideas??
Thanks in advance, I appreciate it!
