[C320-list] Fresh water head-flush plumbing

[Adam Weiner]

Yup, just like my way and I don't even need a cup.

P.S. Orlando, you used the wrong tense of a word:  Easiest and simplest
that I did. . .

Easiest and simplest that I do...close your sea water inlet and
everytime you use toilet, have a 12oz plastic cup handy and use fresh
water from the sink and flush...no fuss, no muss, no smell...

You know, I've been reading all these fresh water flushing tactics and
I'm just not sure it's worth all the hassle of filling the sink, etc,
every time you flush the damn head. I have noticed some odor on occasion
but a little CP seems to freshen up the bowl just fine. Maybe as the
years go by the plumbing will degrade to the point where I will be
interested in this but for now I say keep it simple, go ahead and use
the salt water inlet. If you could hook up a separate freshwater tank
and line to the head it would be one thing, and from the sounds of it a
whole lot simpler. Just my thoughts.
