Toilet

[Barry_J]

We have a Thetford aqua magic toilet with hand flush.
It works great, but when you flush, the water comes out so fast that it pools up over the rim and sometimes makes it to the floor.
Any suggestions????
Maybe stand seated while flushing and great “water clean”, lol
Is the pressure too high going to toilet? Shoukd I turn down the water valve in back of toilet?

Are you using on-board or city water. What is the PSI if using CIty water?

I know one park where the PSI is 120 PLUS!! That's enough to blow the ends off your water hose (it has happened) and blow past the seals in some toilet valves flooding everything.

A regulator can tame it.. Two ways to do it. IF it is a city pressure issue I would suggest a Valterra adjustable set to about 50 PSI or a Watts or Zurin "Whole House" likewise set to 50 PSI. these last two have a bell shaped Upper housing the pressure adjustment is the bolt that would attach a genuine bell to it's yoke or handle. NEW my ZUrin was tested from zero flow to full shower flow and the pressure never even wiggled.. 10 years old they need new parts and can be rebulit

OF you could splice (Cut actually) into the water line up the connections from whatever they are to 3/4 inch Garden Hose (One male one female) and put one of the el-cheapo cylinderical RV Pressure Regulators in the line, they will restrict flow too much for a shower but may provide enough to flush the flusher. i'd use a High Flow type first.

If you can adjust the valve in the back of the toilet I would do so. If you are talking about the flush valve and you cannot adjust it , I would add a valve in the line to the toilet. You can use it to adjust the flow of water into the toilet. It can also be used as a shut off valve if the toilet or the flush valve leaks.

I'd ask if you're using your on-board pump to draw water from the fresh water tank OR whether you're connected to on-site water, in which case you always want to be using a water pressure regulator so the pressure feeding the trailer isn't excessively high.
