Microphor toilet and variable speed pump

[Pete Masterson]

My original post was about _water_ pressure. But the air pressure
issue is also an excellent point. As it happens, I have a Microphor
12v compressor that's independent from the coach air system. It's
limited to 90 psi. I plan to move my dump valves over to the
Microphor compressor when time allows as it will eliminate needing to
'air up' to dump.

I notice that the air-dump valves seem to work ok with about 70 psi
but are a little sluggish with less -- but I was in a very cold place
when I was taking note of the pressures (I'd pumped up the coach with
an external compressor since it wasn't worth the difficulty in
starting the engine in 25 degree weather...)
