Glad this fixed it for you. SOP for my head is closing the seawater-in
valve after each use (I do not have a high loop or anti-siphon valve).
I once left seawater-in open, relying on the dry/flush valve built in
to the pump to keep water from coming in, and after a few hours the
water level in the bowl was the same as the water level outside the
hull! I have sense rebuilt the head, but always open and close the
value each "sitting" - belt and suspenders…
I also added a small Jabsco inline filter this spring to keep hard and
soft debris out of the pump and bowl. With a plastic bore in the pump
this should extend the life of the pump.

Yes, took the boat for a sail as soon as the new pump was
installed.....15% to 20% heel on both tacks.....dry 'bowel'.
In fact, when I emptied the bowel of water (dry bowel switch) with the
old pump, water would seep back into the bowel to probably 'water
level' or 'sea level'. Now with the new pump, the bowel is virtually
dry and stays that way.....just a few ounces of water the new pump can't
possibly pick up and discharge.
Well worth the investment and effort.

Recently, on port tack, my 'head bowl' was filling and overflowing with sea
water.....wasn't completely sure whether it was a faulty 'choker valve' or
the valve in the 'shut off' lever....had to be one or the other, probably a
faulty valve in the 'shut off' switch.
Trip to Binnacle to check out possible solutions to the problem.....simplest
way to address it was to get a whole new Jabsco pump assembly for $100.
One hour labor in total install new pump..... disconnect 3 hoses from old
pump, 4 screws in the base, screw new pump into place, connect the 3
hoses.....one of the easiest boat jobs I have experienced.
FYi for anyone having a similar problem.
