Danny, I'm not 100% sure but the foot pedal looks like the 500 series. I would talk to a SeaLand rep. I kinda had a hard time telling the difference between the 5000 and the 500…or why I would want one or the other.
Mine came with the boat. I was hesitant due to the power consumption but soon appreciated the water efficiency and nearly complete inability to be clogged. The electric current usage amounts to ~0.1ah per flush so as you can figure even with a small house battery (90ah) you could plan on a minimum of 450 flushes. Obviously your other house loads are going to take you out long before the toilet does. The water source is fresh water so no smell and you can't sink the boat. Prior to the vacuflush I was always told no #2's on the boat. Now it doesn't matter. A service guy told me that at the factory training center they were pulling clogs through a 1.5", hose 100' long (the max rated spec is 50'). The boat has a grinder pump (maserator) too so while making blue water passages there is no need to worry about filling the tank. http://www.dometic.com/enus/Americas/USA/Marine/SeaLand-Sanitation-Systems/VacuFlush-Toilets/products/?productdataid=96312 Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ -- Want to email me privately?
