We did that for a few years and The saltwater still sits in the input head hoses and the head still smelled. A full on fresh water flush us requires. We "T"ed it off the head sink drain. No issues with a possible back flow valve failure and the resultant ick. ________________________________ From: CnC-List <cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com> on behalf of Nathan Post via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 2, 2019 9:30:18 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Cc: Nathan Post <nathan8...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: Stus-List Smelly head
I went as far as putting in a y selector on the intake hose for the head and plumbing it the to fresh water tank with a back flow preventer so that the head flushed with fresh water. That is easier than using the sprayer for flushing. There is a little more resistance when in wet flush mode but it works great and has really cut down on odor (along with replacing hoses). Of course we are at a dock so filling the fresh water tank more often isn’t a big deal. I put the y valve in so that for longer trips it can be switched back to seawater if desired. - - Nathan Post S/V Wisper 1981 C&C34 Lynn MA USA > On Oct 2, 2019, at 7:46 PM, Dennis C. via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > wrote: > > The Jabsco head has a small spring in the wet/dry lever mechanism.
