When I re-plumbed the black water system on our boat I had two objectives in mind. Minimal water usage and a water trap (clean water in the bowl) to preclude odors in the boat.

Traps are needed in household toilets because there are no valves in household toilet. The joker valve in marine toilets eliminates the need for a trap. You'll never have any odor from the tank or discharge line if you replace it annually. That also provides you with the opportunity to check the inside of the discharge hose for any sea water or hard water buildup in it.
