Where you go with the flow, lots of toilets will do. Where you go against the flow - such as below deck - there's Sanimarin.

The Sanimarin is a compact, white porcelain toilet that: • uses only 3.6 liters (I gallon) of fresh or salt water per flush • pumps waste water up to 9' vertically or 100' horizontally (or a combination of both) • only requires a I" discharge pipe • is available in 12 vdc, 24 vdc, 120 vac or 220 vac

It's easy to install Sanimarin. All you need is water and you've got yourself a toilet!

Don't let it's small size fool you.

Sanimarin gives you the flexibility to solve big plumbing problems.
