Locating Potential Vacuum Leaks in Toilet Base
The VacuFlush toilet is part of a vacuum system that includes a vacuum pump and vacuum tank, or a vacuum
generator and discharge plumbing lines. If a vacuum leak is suspected, special equipment will isolate the source of
the leak. If the toilet is determined to be the source of the leak, there are three possible areas to investigate:
1. Flush ball and ush ball seal. See Problem 12 in Troubleshooting Guide.
2. O-rings on the rotor shaft.
3. O-rings around bottom of toilet base assembly.
Sources 1 and 2 will require the base assembly to be removed from the toilet and partially disassembled.
