How does a macerator toilet work?
My new MH came installed with a Dometic 8700 Master flush macerator toilet. I am very familiar with a macerator that you hook up to your sewer to pump uphill but I am not at all familiar with a macer...

Thanks Old Biscuit. That's a good find on the diagram. I had read the manual but the only clue I found was a vague reference to foreign objects in the pump. They mention that we should close the seacock before clearing them. Obviously a reference to a marine installation.
Looking at the diagram, it appears as if the macerator is very similar if not the same as a regular macerator. There are two things that comfort me. 1) this is only one of two toilets in the MH and the kids toilet is a regular gravity fed device. and 2) the grey water tanks are not going through this. I suspect that the showers end up with more hairs in them than does the toilet.
