Shakedown cruise question

My comment was more about the water input valve where the flushing water comes out to flush the toilet than the toilet seal.  I am not sure what that valve is called.  The seal isn't usually a problem.

Originally posted by mcarter Well, my take is the input valve doesn't have any water in it unless the toilet flush is being used.

Yeah... that's not the case.  There is water above the flush valve that if not expelled or replaced with antifreeze can very definitely crack the valve if it freezes.  You might be able to get enough of it out by flushing the toilet after the water is turned off, thereby draining it, but I'm not sure I'd bank on it.

JET,

They are in the toilet, and would normally be cleared during winterization process, either by pressurized air or replaced by antifreeze. From your original post I took it you were not using the toilet or adding any water to the Pod. If you're concerned winterize again. I agree with TARS you have to ensure valve is clear during winterization process. But after that unless you introduce water back in system you should be good.

Originally posted by mcarter JET, The valve is controlled by the flush/fill lever of the toilet. Proper winterization would either clear the mechanism or fill it with antifreeze. Once winterized it will stay that way until water is put back to the toilet. On your shakedown you said your were not adding water and your dealer had winterized, so if you trust your dealer your toilet should be ok.
