[C320-list] Head Back Flow

[Barb & Bob Uhlman]

I've had trouble with a "yucky" head bowl this year and we use fresh water
for flushing.  This may be the problem.  I went to West Marine this
afternoon and our local one said that they did not carry the joker valve.
Will check at the boat dock.  Thanks so much for your help.

This only ever happens to us when the Holding tank is more than 3
quarters full. If we empty the tank the problem goes away.

Hello from the Pacific North West:
I seem to have inherited a problem from my previous boat. Water flowing
back into the head from the holding tank. 
I use the KISS system of using the shower/sink fresh water as a source
for flushing so usually leave the leaver in the Dry position all the
time.
My problem is when I return to the head and find the bowl half full of
(#*^@) I have tried leaving the selector leaver on the head in both
directions (wet/dry) with no change in results. 
Asked a few owners about this problem, while some say "leave the leaver
in the dry position", it would seem I am not the only one experiencing
this problem.
The head works fine with only this hick-up, so have not tried to
dismantle the unit to date.  Should I dive in and check the system or is
there something I have missed in the instructions?  After all, I am a
man and who needs to read manuals?
