T&T: Vacuflush Blockage

[Allen Ames]

A blocked hose in a Vacuflush system IS a common VacuFlush problem.  It
happens because the system takes so little water TO FLUSH SOLIDS OUT OF THE
BOWL and the operator thinks the flush has been "successful".  If the solids
are not cleared all the way to the holding tank (with more flushing water)
they can get clogged in the hose and end up turning into a VERY solid mass.
I worked on one boat where the only solution was to remove a section of hose
from the boat and clean it out.
