RV & motorhome
Stretch your fresh tank a great deal further, and route the waste line up and over a chassis rail rather than under it.
RV systems →Jets® Representative, United States · Jets Vacuum AS, Norway
The toilet system that runs on air.
You've almost certainly used one already, on a plane or a cruise ship, without giving it a second thought. The same technology works in an RV, in a tiny home, or in a building where the drain line can't fall the way the plumbing code assumes it will.
We import Jets® vacuum sanitary systems from Norway and support them here in the States. If a vacuum system is right for what you're building, we'll size it and quote it. If it isn't, we'll say so.

Core component
Vacuumarator® pump
Invented and patented by JETS, 1989
Hareid, Norway
The heart of the system
The unique Vacuumarator® pump is the heart of any Jets® system. It creates vacuum, macerates sewage and discharges – in one single-pass operation.
Small footprint and low weight allow unique installation flexibility. The Vacuumarator® pump is the most reliable vacuum generator available for vacuum toilet systems.
The first Vacuumarator® pump was invented and patented by JETS in 1989, and more than 60.000 Vacuumarator® pumps by Jets® are currently in operation worldwide.
When a vacuum system isn't the right call
We'd rather lose the sale than sell you the wrong system. A few situations where a conventional gravity setup is the better answer:
Be honest with yourself about these first
- You have plenty of fall and plenty of water. A standard house on municipal water and sewer, with a normal soil stack, has no problem that a vacuum system solves. The payback isn't there.
- The upfront cost is genuinely higher. Fixture, pump, controls and commissioning cost more than a gravity install. The return comes from water, tankage and pipework you don't have to build, so it depends heavily on the project.
- It needs power. The pump is electrical. If your build can't supply reliable power to the system, this isn't the technology for you.
- Parts are specialised. You can't fix a vacuum valve with what's on the shelf at a hardware store. That's a real consideration for a remote installation, and it's a reason to buy through a Jets® representative rather than a one-off import.
Applications

Who you're dealing with
A distributor, not a marketplace listing
You can buy a vacuum toilet from a lot of places. What you usually can't get is someone who will size the system and pick up the phone in your time zone two years later.
