Most of the pumps that I have seen use the 3" pipe and macerate the contents down to a garden hose size.
Most of these pumps are $200-400 range.
.........Thanks , flojet makes several macerator pumps I just need to find the one with the most lift capacity ! , jf
I own a flo-jet.
Posters are correct - 3" sewer connection "IN".....
garden hose connection "OUT".
The flow of liquid to the pump is by gravity.
I've never tried to "draft" (suck "up") with the pump - doubtful operation with the RV model.
If you go that route, you probably want the one intended for boats.
But there still could be a glitch:
It *might* work *if* there were are *NO* bends in the toilet plumbing. Mine has an "S" bend.
As others have suggested (and assuming you have a cable operated valve) - gain access to the valve for manual operation.
If you really have to "beat up" the valve, get one of the add-on dump valves that attach to the end of your outlet. (about $15).
Now you have a way to keep the waste from draining - until you're ready.
Best of luck - it's a s****y (two t's?) job any way you look at it..:(
