Separating Fresh Water From Pump Toilet
Hi Folks,
New forum member here. We recently inherited an old Holidaire 1600 (approx. 1977ish) This trailer is equipped with a manual pump to fill lever flush toilet. Everything appears to be operational. During the install of new water lines I noticed that the fresh water simply T's off from the faucet supply line and goes to the toilet. I had my wife operate the pump to fill the toilet with the toilet supply line off the T and wasn't particularly comfortable with the way the water/air would seemingly come back towards the faucet and fresh water lines so I left it disconnected and just ran a line direct to the faucet. I'd like to get the toilet operational again and was thinking it better off that it have its own supply tank, Am I worrying about nothing here? I would have to imagine that this has been taken into consideration when they designed this toilet but the entry point for the water into the toilet is certainly in a location that can get messy so...
Thanks for your advice.
Michael
