It would not be a surprise if Raritan’s re-manufactured assembly is a copy of the assembly they use for the Elegance.

NOOOO!! How could you possibly hear both toilets flush and think they have anything in common???? The Elegance is a new design from the ground up. Raritan has redesigned the Atlantes "assembly" to be very similar to the Elegance but the remanufactured Crown is exactly same assembly as a new Crown--which Raritan still sells, btw-and has always been since 1968 with a few minor changes.

There have been 3 versions of the Crown, all of which make the same amount of noise and need the same 1-3 gals of flush water...the first was the "standard," which drew 30 amps. Next came the "Deep Draft" (DD) which had some mods that allowed it to be installed below waterline...it drew 50 amps. Raritan introduced the Centrifugal Discharge (CD) version in the late 80s and remains the current version...it draws 36 amps. Otoh, the sea water version of the SeaEra draws about 15 amps, needs only about a liter of flush water and doesn't notify everyone on the dock that you're flushing it.
