Another question for Peggy: You

posted a message about an electric head that you thought was the best on the market. I looked for the post but couldn't find it. Anyway, we need to replace our W/C Junior with something new. We would like to keep the W/C but parts are not available to repair the issue we have. Does the electric head that you were talking about meet a cruisers needs? We flush about 8 to 10 times a day and our holding tank last US about a week with the W/C. Would the electric use more water and fill up the tank faster? Is it robust enough to handle the cruising life. Are the parts that need to be changed accessible? We only have one head and a lengthy failure would be problematic. Do you think a manual type head would suit us better? If so, what type would you recommend? Thanks in advance for your help. It's always interesting to read your posts.
