Features // March | April 2019 33 Jabsco Jabsco re-launched its Deluxe Flush Toilet line with a complete, full porcelain toilet design. This new edition features a soft-close lid and virtually silent functionality for undis- turbed sleep. The four-button touchpad control is simple to use, and the size of the seat provides the comfort of a home toilet. The four options available on the touch pad are: "fill," "quick flush," "flush" or "empty." You can also set the control to leave the bowl "dry" or "wet" after flushing. Jabsco recommends the "dry" setting to minimize total water usage. Customers also have the option of an angled or vertical back toilet. The angled back version presents minimal footprint and is easy to mount against a sloping surface or on a corner. In comparison, the vertical back creates snug-fitting against a vertical bulkhead. "On a lot of vessels toilets sit up on a step and if that's the case then you go for the 14-inch size toilet," advised Paul Campagna, market application manager at Jabsco. "If it sits directly onto the cabin's hull then you go for the 17-inch because it will stand at a height roughly of your household toilet." The Deluxe Flush Toilet comes in two sizes: 14-inch and 17-inch. Other great features of this model include fresh or raw water rinse models and non-clogging large bore flush pump that softens waste. It also uses less than 1.0 amp/hour per day and its crevice-free contours add to its cleanliness and hygiene. 978-282-5246 | www.jabscotech.com Raritan One of the most crucial necessities when cruising and having fun on your houseboat is knowing you have a place to go when you need to go. Raritan's Marine Toilets are a great option for you and your houseboat. They offer not only a manual toilet option, but also an electric alternative with low noise levels and low power consumption. Unique to the Raitan brand is their Vortex-Vac technology which virtually eliminates remote vacuum pumps. And for those wanting to conserve their fresh water, check out Raritan's Sea-Fresh option for their electric toilets which allows users to use raw water for flushing while out on the water and fresh water for flushing when at the dock where fresh water is more readily available. The innovative technology that Raritan has to offer is exclusive to their company. No other manufacturer has the option to switch from sea (or lake) water to fresh water for flushing with just the flip of a switch. Each toilet is easy to install, clean, and easy to maintain. Raritan also guarantees a solid customer service experience. Customers can call toll-free for the entire life of the product and speak with customer service support as well as technical personal. 856-825-4900 | www.raritaneng.com SaniFLO SaniFLO's mission is to bring you all the comfort they can while allowing you to be discrete when you have to go. Through research and develop- ment teams, SaniFLO has been able to create toilets that combine dependability with efficiency and silence. SaniFLO's SaniMarin 48 may look like just another toilet but this model has one big game changer. Each part of the SaniMarin 48, as well as the circuit board, are coated with special "rust proof" chemicals to help keep the toilet from experiencing premature rusting that would otherwise result from the often intensely humid and moist boat environment. Though this detailed additional last step raises the price of the product, you won't have to question if you're good to go or if rust has taken control of your commode.
