Macerator Pro&Con

Are they worth having? Do they empty faster? Thanks

Ok, Well, I have one, a Flo-Jet portable. When I need it, I NEED IT, when I dont' I use the old 3" stinky slinky.

Some folks do not like handling the 3" hose.. Personally. I do not mind, but I'm strange that way. For those the smaller Macerator hose might be more user friendly.

Macerator dumps (Via a 50' 3/4" black rubber hose in my case) at about 6 gallons per minute, six mintues to empty if the tank (36 Gallons) is full by stop watch.
3" hose in under 1 minute.

But I have had sites where the hole in the ground wasw 40-45 feet away, Where it is UP HILL and around corners. In all these cases the Macerator was a blessing.

NOTE: on mine, since I only use it when needed, every time the pump impeller is sized up.. There is a rubber cap (or should be) on the other end of the motor, under it is the motor shaft with a slot, any flat tool, Screwedriver, Mending bar, Quarter, Can be used to TURN the shaft in the direction suggested by the outlet molding,, that fixes it, Do this before you hook up.
