Hi -
I have a sealand vacuflush toilet that was leaking from the
base/toilet connection.
a. Clamp ring may be loose.
b. Ball seals may be worn or defective.
a. Remove plastic base cover (on
applicable models) and tighten the
clamp ring.
b. Replace ball seals.
Did all of the above, and noticed that it still leaks, but only when weight is applied to the front of the toilet. After closer inspection, I noticed that the base of the ceramic toilet (where it meets the seal), is not flat, allowing it to rock forward ever so slightly, but enough to leak water from the bowl.
Does this sound like the toilet is defective? I'd hate to go buy a new toilet to see the same thing happen...Any advice would be greatly appreciated...
