head blockage ?

Margo:
Our system was replaced in 2002, and we use saltwater to flush. Now after 7 years, we too have the exact problem you have described. Hard to flush, handle rises back up. So....I took about the plunger expecting to replace the basic parts. WRONG! AS it turned out, we will be replacing the entire system once again since the lines are packed SOLID with what seems like concrete. This is what happens with saltwater and urine as it stands, it crystallizes and packs. So, everywhere in our lines where sewage would have been resting over time (week to week or overnight) it has solidified. YUK. So, I hope this in not your issue as well, but if you flush with saltwater, and if you do not rinse with fresh water, this may be the case. We HAVE been rinsing with fresh water when we leave the boat, but on daily usage, we do not.

Here is a photo of the back elbow from the head. This material is as solid as concrete. It is amazing the head flushed at all. The lines are exactly the same!!!!
