Troublesome Tissues

Dissolving Tissue Test

We recommend SeaLand® Rapid-dissolving Toilet Tissues for VacuFlush® and other marine sanitation systems. To see if another brand of toilet tissue is acceptable for use in a VacuFlush system, perform the following test. Immerse one square of tissue in a jar of water and shake five times. The tissue sample should disintegrate so that it is no longer in one piece.
