The Thetford SPP Piston Pump (Product code: 2581879) is a component specifically designed for use in older models of Thetford Porta Potti 345 and 365 portable toilets, specifically those manufactured before 2011. Here's what this part does:
1. Operates the Manual Flush Mechanism:
- The SPP Piston Pump is responsible for operating the manual flush system in the Porta Potti 345 and 365 models. When the user activates the flush, typically by pressing or pumping a lever, the piston pump draws water from the freshwater tank and pushes it into the toilet bowl, flushing waste into the holding tank.
2. Manual Pumping Action:
- This piston pump functions manually, meaning the user physically pumps the handle or lever to create the pressure needed for flushing. This action ensures that water flows into the bowl to rinse it after each use.
3. Provides Consistent Water Flow:
- The pump is designed to deliver a consistent and reliable flow of water with each flush, ensuring that the bowl is adequately rinsed and waste is effectively directed into the holding tank. This helps maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of the toilet.
4. Replacement Part for Older Models:
- The Thetford SPP Piston Pump (2581879) is a replacement part suitable for older Porta Potti 345 and 365 models made before 2011. Over time, the original piston pump may wear out, leading to weaker flushes or leaks. Replacing it with this part restores the flush mechanism's effectiveness.
5. Ensures Proper Sealing:
- The pump also helps maintain a proper seal between the freshwater tank and the bowl, preventing leaks and ensuring that water is only dispensed when the flush is activated.
6. Durable Construction:
- Made from durable materials, the piston pump is built to withstand the wear and tear of regular use. It is designed for long-term reliability, ensuring that the toilet continues to function properly in various conditions.
7. Easy Installation:
- The piston pump is designed for easy installation in the older Porta Potti models, allowing users to replace the part themselves with minimal tools and effort. This helps maintain the toilet's functionality without the need for professional service.
8. Maintains Hygiene and Functionality:
- A functioning piston pump is essential for the overall hygiene and usability of the portable toilet. It ensures that the bowl is flushed effectively after each use, preventing the buildup of waste and odors.
Thetford SPP Piston Pump (2581879) is a manual flush pump designed for older Porta Potti 345 and 365 models manufactured before 2011. It provides the necessary water flow for flushing, ensures proper sealing, and serves as a replacement part to restore the toilet's functionality and hygiene.
