The Lavac
Congratulations on the purchase of a Lavac
marine toilet. Lavac marine toilets are firm
favourites with sailors throughout the world,
providing their owner with a long and trou-
ble free working life.
The Lavac is one of the most simple to
operate marine toilets available. After use,
the seat and lid are closed and the pump is
then operated for 14-16 strokes (For full
instructions see page 21). As waste is
pumped out, the bowl is sealed causing a
vacuum which draws in the flushing water.
It’s as simple as that!
Within this handbook you will find informa-
tion and practical help on installing, running
and maintaining your Lavac. If you require
any further help or advice, please contact
