Raritan Elegance spares kit

I’m putting together a spares kit for an extended cruise and I’m looking for advice on what parts I should stock for this fancy Raritan Elegance electric flush head. It’s about 4 years old and has been doing its job like a champ, but if anyone has been stranded flushless in a remote area trying to source parts, that’s what I’m looking for. I have 2 joker valves; what else? Thanks in advance.

Re: Raritan Elegance spares kit

Get the rebuild kit with the joker valves etc ( when you use it DO replace the shaft seal it comes with)

Get a spare pump body because it will crack one day.

Get the pump discharge elbow/hose.

Re: Raritan Elegance spares kit

We haven't had a single failure with 3 of them (two with daily use) in the 6 years since we've put them in. Might be luck, but can't say enough good things about that upgrade...
