Ditto

 

Available at Binnacle .com for about 70 bucks (add a spare joker valve
and that should be enough for free delivery) .. and you don't have to
play around with crusty rubber gaskets etc ... 4 bolts and a couple of
clamps.

I  went the same route with the new Jabsco locking pump assembly, which
solved the problem. I agree with others that the joker valve has, at
most, a one-year life span, and routinely replace it every year.

The proposed solutions will probably do the trick. However, having
suffered the same problem with my jabasco unit, now + 15 years old with
several rebuilds, 

I bought the jabasco kit with a new 'locking' pump assembly.

 

With it is in the locked position, where it stays unless used, no water
can return from anywhere back to the bowl.

 

Problem solved for about the cost of he usual rebuild kit cost and it
hasn't returned in the 3-4 years since I replaced it.

 

The bolts match exactly so you unbolt/unhose

the old pump assy, pitch it, rebolt/rehose the new one in about 15
minutes.

We have had a similar problem on the 115 - also a Jabsco manual flush
head.  In our case the water was backflowing from the discharge hose
into the bowl.  Our solution was to over pump for approx 20 seconds on
wet flush before pumping on dry flush.  That way the backflow would at
least be cleaner water!

I've had this disgusting problem a few times and attributed it to
someone
over-flushing the head, but I think there's a problem with the head:
 
After a few days post-pump-out the head has back filled with blackwater
while sailing and once while at anchor.
First few times this happened I chalked it up to a guest over-flushing,
got
it pumped and went on my way.
 
The Jabsco head is 3 years old. The system was completely redone by
previous
owner.
It was a very well done job, no mickey mouse stuff on the surface, all
new
hoses and recommissioned blackwater tank.
I checked the Jabsco manual and all appears to be piped correctly.
 
The last trip was the last straw. I had to go below every 10 minutes and
scoop some very disgusting water out of the bowl and pour down sink
drain
otherwise it would have overflowed. After a couple of hours of this the
shine wears off, believe me.
 
So - my plan is to take out the pump/valve assembly and look for a
failed
seal.
Should the head discharge hose-to-tank have a check valve in it? I think
not
because it would become fouled with solids.
I'm aware of principles of siphoning but short of drawing a diagram I
don't
think siphoning is the problem.
I can't think of anything besides a failed seal.
 
Help!
