Electra Magic toilet help needed

Hi all,

I have an early 70's Electra Magic toilet that when flushed doesn't pump water into the bowl. I just purchased this Class B camper and everything works with the pump and sinks but I'm not sure how to operate the toilet. There is a small stem on the front bottom of the toilet and appears to have been a knob that can be either turned or pulled but not sure what that does either. Any help or direction on this would be greatly appreciated!

  • Hi Biscuit,

    Thanks for the lead on this. I suspect you're right about the toilet type and it gives me something to work with in researching how to operate it.

    Appreciate the help!

  • Is that a 'recirculating' type toilet?
    If so you have to charge it with water and chemicals......then when flushing it recirculates the dissolved waste/water for multiple flushes.
    Then you dump it.
