We have a Lavac in our second head as a backup to the Jabsco electric. Best of both worlds.

So considering a boat that has kids who may not sit there and flush thoroughly, can I do a random thorough flush once or twice a day to help out the system?

Absolutely. I would do it all the time. If you're discharging straight overboard, there's no downside.

My boat has an jabsco electric model ( the noisy one ) in it since 1988 , still going strong
