    Hello,
    We have four Microphor microflush air toilets on our new (to us) Ocean 70 that run off a Pumptrol air compressor. My question is, how often should the compressor come on? I tightened up leaks under two of the toilets the other day but the thing still keeps coming on every 2 hours or thereabouts. This timeline seems to be independent of whether there is light or heavy use of the toilets. I guess I'm finding it hard to believe that one flush every two hours is making it come on :/
    If anyone could tell me what is "normal" that'd put my mind at ease.
    Thanks!

    I would think that's normal. If it comes on when nobody flushes a toilet then you have a leak somewhere.
