If I had the room, and I wanted to use freshwater flush on a raw water flush head, I could install a small, dedicated water tank for flush water, right? Ok, so here is the crazy part. What would prevent me from adding some blue stuff to the water so when it flushed and filled the bowl, it was a nice tidy-bowl blue? Any reason why that would be BAD? Bad for the pump or seals or hose maybe?

Thanks
 
Depends on the blue thing. Some have bleach. Bleach is not good for seals and if I remember Coach Bob's Basic Biology from high school, human waste has ammonia in it. Not a good combination.

There are some blue things that have no bleach, but borax. I can't recall the reaction of borax and ammonia, however, if it not harmful, I could see it to be beneficial. Borax is a water softener and as such should keep crap (no pun intended) from sticking to the holding tank.

Of course, if you just want blue water, use food coloring.
 
Blue food coloring, that's funny! No I meant something literally like Tid-E-Bowl or some other blue liquid toilet tank treatment for it's cleaning and deodorizong properties...
 
Actually, what you are proposing has been done on smaller Regals and perhaps others. I have read of them taking a 5 gallon collapsible tank and placing it under the sink. Plumb a "Y" valve into the suction side of the head. This allows you to use both raw and fresh depending on the situation. Or, you could do what I did in my Regal with a Jabsco manual toilet. Leave the lever on evacuate and fill the bowl with the hand held shower. There is no smell with a fresh water system. The smell in a head is usually from decaying stuff in the raw water side of the system. I believe that is why the vacuflush system is so popular and successful.

Yep, the dead critters is what I am trying to avoid. Also trying to make it as girlfriend friendly as possible, and it's bad enough that i'll have to (try) and teach her the "Flip the switch, and pump twice... Do your thing, and flip the switch the other way and pump..." but to tell her to spray the shower into the bowl? Not a chance. LOL.
