  • We use a flojet as well and have no problem with 6-7' of rise. As per the manufacturers instruction, the pump is not to be used for long durations continuously. We have not carried a slinky hose in 4 years... strictly use the flojet. Pump it out, give it a good rinse with the tank flush, pump it agian.. good to go.
  • We have a Flojet macerator that we used in a state park when volunteering. We had to pump 110 away and about a 5 foot rise to the bathroom cleanout. It worked but the pump would get hot after 15 minutes. We were there for 4 months and had a sludge buildup when we left, due to the lack of "swoosh" effect that the 3 inch sewer pipe provides. We have used it since but I would not do it again for a long period of time.
