There is a big lure for fresh water flush...smell! And the mixture of salt water and urine can clog up hoses pretty quick. The toilet did not cause the watermaker and genset to quit but they are interdependant.
The simple solution would be for a diverter valve to allow seawater flush if fresh water became scarce and a manual flush toilet to lessen the demand for electricity.

I was suprised by the number of failures and design flaws on such an expensive boat.
