Just catching up on this as currently winterising
boat, and a bit busy.
We have the
Jabsco 'Quietflush' (and there is a joke, but anyway). The joker valves on ours are now six years old, and the trick from our perspective is at the end of each season leave a descaler in the system for 24 hours to remove calcium deposits. During use, when you flush, if a bit of paper or whatever gets caught on the valve flap, no matter how new, it will leak back. So the trick is to finish
flushing, then operate the
pump two more times. This pushes air up the hose to the
holding tank, and there is very little liquid to seep back if there is something on the valve. Works every time for us - without that, from time to time you can get half a bowl of liquid seeping back.
Hope that helps,
David
