[Fwd: Air Regulator - Microphor Toilet]

[Curt Sprenger]

The Microphor $290.00 toilet air pressure regulator ended up no cost to
me. Not from Microphor.

I contacted the local Clippard store. The 60 - 65 PSI regulator had a
build date out 10 days and then shipping days. I said I'd take it. The
gal asked how many and I said one. She said come on down and I'll give
you a test sample of the 0 - 100 PSI regulator.

I set the regulator adjustment toward the high end, installed the
regulator, started the compressor, and kept tapping the flush handle
until the toilet flushed, then backed off the regulator to a lower
pressure that would not flush, then turned it up slightly, and all is good.

Microphor sent me a PDF document for the LF-210 model, 16 pages. Let me
know if you need a copy and I'll forward it to you.

We have the Microphor Air Operated toilet in our coach. The air pressure
regulator exhaust port is leaking, causing the compressor to cycle every
35 minutes. Microphor tells me that the regulator is defective, bad
seal(s).

Microphor wants $290 for a new regulator, $95 for Microphor to rebuild
ours, $65 for a rebuild kit.

Clippard wants about $15.00 for what looks to be the same regulator as
installed with our toilet.

Has anyone replaced this regulator? What brand, part #, cost, purchased
where, etc?
