| Feature | Conventional Toilet | Vacuum Toilet (GenX) |
|---|---|---|
| Water per flush | 6–10 litres | 0.5–1.2 litres |
| Odour control | Open vent — odour escapes | Sealed tank — zero odour |
| Suitable for moving vehicles | No — gravity dependent | Yes — works at any angle |
| Maintenance frequency | High — blockages common | Low — self-clearing system |
| Operating power | Not required | 24V DC (standard bus electrical) |
| Tank pump-out frequency | Daily (small tank) | Every 3–7 days (85% less water) |
The lower the better for tank capacity management. GenX systems use 0.5L — check competitor claims carefully.
Larger tank = fewer pump-outs. For a sleeper bus with 40 passengers, a 200L tank typically lasts 3–4 days.
Must match your bus electrical system exactly. 12V systems are underpowered; 230V AC requires an inverter.
Stainless steel 304 is the minimum standard. Avoid plastic bowls — they stain, crack and smell within 12 months in Indian conditions.
Higher vacuum = more reliable flushing at any speed or incline. Check rated vacuum, not just marketing claims.
Vacuum pumps can be loud. Ask for dB rating — anything above 72 dB will disturb passengers in a sleeper bus.
