Sorry for the possibly hijack of the OP's thread, but since Peggy is involved here I'll just ask a simple question for y'all's opinions on this...
We have a vacuflush system with two heads. All is well, except the fwd head bowl flush valve allows a slow leak-down (emptying) of the bowl, which of course keeps the vacuum pump working, until it is sucking air and I have to shut the head pump DC source off. Takes about 10 minutes for the bowl to be drained from a normal flush. This is a pain in the you-know-what.
Thanks to reading many of the past "HeadMistress" conversations here, I've tried using a brush up under the edge of the opening with the pedal pushed and valve open... to no avail.
The question here is, aside from replacing valve or removing the bowl for a thorough cleaning from inside out, would the cup of white vinegar in the bowl possibly work...? I'm guessing it would need multiple applications as the contents will drain out in the 10 minutes or so...?
Thanks in advance for any input... sorry for the hijack!!
