Seems like everybody spends too much time and money trying to keep that damn Microphor toilet working. And then theres the Thomas air compressor that's not cheap and not very reliable.

Do yourself a favor, buy a Thetford Tecma model # 38456 and remove the chore of keeping the Microphor working.

The Tecma toilet retails for over a $1000.
Here's a new one you can buy that is reasonably priced @ $400.

It costs less than the cost of a new Thomas compressor and the Microphor repair parts.

This is a pic of my Tecma in my LXI from a previous post on WaGu:

Does this toilet require a straight drop through? If so, then I have an additional problem replacing the Microphor. My toilet requires a hard 90 degree turn to get through to the down-pipe to the black tank. Major plumbing and alterations to make a drop through toilet work.

Tommy,

I'm not sure how your plumbing compares with the plumbing in my LXi. My toilet does not sit directly above the black tank either and it does have a horizontal plumbing run to the black tank. I've never had a problem with it as it flushes quite nicely. I would think that the electric pump would do the same job of moving the water as the air that Microphor uses.

See the manual attached below showing horizontal runs from the Tecma:

David or someone else may know if there is much difference in our plumbing.

My 94 is no air flapper ,but I believe it is over the tank. I never turn off my water pumps even when in storage they are on. 11 years and no issues. My LXi is an air flush system. Chucks suggestion toilet is on my list of things to do. My air pump kicks on every 20 min or so and I cant find the leak. beginning to think it is a check valve in the pump. th only way to est is to put a ball valve after the pump or just install an inline check valve ( if one exists)
