When I flush the toilet on my 2005 Tiara 2900 does the water come from the fresh water tank or from the lake or ocean water?

Thanks

I believe your head, assuming its electric or manual , uses sea water (salt or fresh depending where you are) unless you have a vacuflush system and then it uses water from your fresh water tank. Easy test is to shut off your fresh water pump(s) and flush the head.

Thanks. It flushes without the water pump being on. So I guess that it uses raw water.

The flushing without the water only means the breaker for your head is turned on. You need to turn the breakers for the water pumps on as well. Your flush water comes from the fresh water tank unless you have a hose connected to a dockside water supply. In that case, it comes from the dockside water source.
