The Dometic 972 is a grey portable toilet with a 2.6 gallon (9.8 L) tank and a tank level indicator. The tank holds enough water for 27 flushes, and the toilet needs no manual pumping or batteries. The body is ABS, stands 12.5" high and weighs 12 pounds. It is a self-contained freshwater unit with a long pivoting discharge spout for emptying.
Our take
The 9.8 L tank on the 972 holds enough water for 27 flushes, and a level indicator lets you watch it. When it is time to empty, the extra long pivoting discharge spout is there to cut the mess.
From our buying guide
A vessel with installed toilet facilities must have an operable marine sanitation device that is labeled or certified. EPA says untreated sewage may not be discharged within three miles from shore, and in a No Discharge Zone treated sewage may not be either.
Check before you buy:
- You have what it needs, since heads may call for 12-volt power, through-hulls and seacocks, or a separate vacuum source.
- It fits the compartment, since Jabsco says an electric toilet needs more space at the rear than a manual one.
- If it could sit below the waterline, you'll fit a vented loop as the maker specifies, since Jabsco warns the vent, not the loop, is what stops the siphon.
