Raritan P101 PH SuperFlush Manual Toilet with Marine Size Bowl
Model: P101
The best manual marine toilet on the market. Recognized worldwide as the standard in manual marine toilets because of its sturdy reliable design. The largest capacity piston type manual toilet offers the user dry or wet bowl flush. The retractable handle design allows for minimal intrusion into the head area when not in use but offers superior pumping action when extended making it much easier for all types of users to flush. The larger capacity pump housing means easier and faster flushing, builder models typically require twelve to twenty strokes to move the waste out of the toilet where the PH Superflush requires only about 6-10 reducing the amount of effort to flush the toilet.
In addition to the larger housing the PH Superflush also utilizes a full-size joker valve which helps to reduce or eliminate clogging of the toilet. The housing has a special air vent on the front allowing the user to flush the toilet without bringing in additional water. The piston pumps are always dual action which means as they bring water in they also discharge. The air vent helps to prevent pressure from building if the intake water is turned off but discharging of the toilet is necessary.
The new PH Superflush has the option to be upgraded to electric operation at a later date if desired. Raritan produces the only electric toilet that can be quickly converted to manual operation should there be a problem with power. The models include either marine size bowl or a household size bowl both with slow close seats. For installation flexibility the pump can be mounted on either the right- or left-hand side of the bowl.
The newest generation of PHII – The PH pump used on the PH Superflush is a design that is timeless. This pump was originally designed in the 1960’s for the U.S. Navy and while it is no longer built of bronze it has undergone some improvements over the years but the basic function remains the same.
The dual action pump is 66% larger in diameter than any competitive toilet on the market. Because the housing is larger it more easily moves more water in and out of the bowl meaning you spend less time pumping and more time enjoying your time on the water. If water usage is a concern the intake water can easily be turned off and the unit can still be pumped to allow flushing with virtually no water being used.
A newly designed base enables this unique manual/electric toilet to easily install in installations where the builder has chosen only a mass produced manual toilet.
In addition to the larger housing the pump also boasts a full size joker valve which helps to prevent clogs and improves the flushing action. A lever handle rather than a T-grip allows all users to flush the toilet with incredible ease! It is during pumping that you realize how much difference the larger pump housing makes! Only a few pumps of the handle and the toilet is flushed. Smaller housing means many up and down pumps of the handle to move only a little bit of water. The air vent added on in the 1980’s allows the user to close the intake water while still pumping and prevents pressure build-up. Being able to flush the toilet without adding water has many benefits including the ability to empty out the bowl while in heavy seas. Each unit comes with a slow close seat that include stops on the underside of the seat to help prevent the seat from shifting while in use in heavy seas.
The PH Superflush offers the normal small marine size bowl but also has models with a bit more seating area considered our household size bowl. Water must be drawn in from the outside or can be used with fresh water if you have a dedicated tank for pulling freshwater in. for those wishing to use onboard pressurized freshwater we recommend the Fresh Head. The Superflush handle has been updated to telescopic allowing for more leverage when flushing for the youngest of users or to neatly tuck away especially in head areas with extremely limited space.
The generation before the PH Superflush was the PHII and is world renowned for its longevity and performance. Raritan has always prided itself on selling individual replacement parts rather than entire kits. While we offer kits we also find that it is quite common to need to replace just a single part. For that reason you can always contact our technical support and find the part you need from a screw to the bowl.
