Knocked a hole in my Rhinoflex sewer hose!
Does anyone know if you can replace just the hose section with a standard hose you can find almost anywhere or is the hose itself a special one?

A macerator is over $200 and is slow and can jam and requires maintenace every so often. And you still have a poop hose; its just a smaller diameter.
The pump will only jam if you're careless and allow "stuff" in the toilet that shouldn't be there in the first place. :W
I've had my Flojet Waste Macerator since 2006 and it's required no maintenance at all. Last year was the first time I've ever looked at it when I decided to replace the seals ... now that I have I see no reason it wouldn't go another 10 yrs without any attention. :)
No, no "poop" in the output hose - once macerated by the stainless steel chopper blade what enters the hose is essentially water with just small particulate content. :)
Regarding comments about "how long" it takes to service the tanks with a macerator my answer would be it takes as long or as little time as you want. I use mine primarily for servicing the tanks at home so I never have to line up at a campground dump station ... my time is my own, no one is lining up behind me, why I would care "how long" the process takes is a mystery, I've never given it any thought. :)
But I guess those who've never owned one would know better. :S
