Fresh water flush eliminates much of the odor but there is a cost in fresh water use (you never run out of sea water) and the replacement head is pretty expensive. It can also be a lot of work.

I considered a Vacuflush and I considered a Marine Elegance but in the end I stuck a $15 strainer in the intake line and moved on to other projects.

If you are actively using the head on a daily basis, there is no smell from seawater. If you are not, it's just the first few uses after resuming use of the head that smell. And the strainer eliminates much of that.
