Raritan offers a number of toilet options, but if you’re looking to
upgrade with a more stylish design, their Marine Elegance is designed
for boats in the 30 to mid 40-foot range, while the Atlantes Freedom
can be used on boats in the mid 40-foot range and larger. All Raritan
toilets hold water in the bowl after fl ushing, which helps to prevent
waste gas (and smell), and electric toilets are available with fresh or raw
water fl ushing. Contact company or dealer for MSRP; raritaneng.com
Thetford’s Tecma Nano is their newest and smallest macerator
toilet. If a toilet can be described as elegant, this one fi ts the bill. The
ergonomic 14.6” x 17.5” seat fi ts in most head compartments. The
self-contained toilet has a powerful clog-resistant macerator, turbine
and inlet pump and is capable of both raw and pressurized fl ushing.
Two check valves and a water trap ensure there are no odor issues.
Without the need to replace gaskets or seals, or accommodate a
vacuum pump, installation is easy. It weighs less than 39 lbs. and is
easily mounted on a step base. MSRP starts at $549.99.
Thetford also offers portable toilets recommended for boats under
30 feet in length that provide the convenience of a fi xed head, but
without the weight, complexity and space requirements of a plumbed
system. Thetford tank deodorants—Eco-Smart and Aqua Kem—
reduce odors and quickly liquefy waste. The company also offers
marine toilet paper, such as 2-ply Aqua Soft Tissue, which breaks
down fast and makes emptying the holding tank simple and clog-free.
