Macerator Pro&Con
Are they worth having? Do they empty faster? Thanks

Is a macerator easier to attach to the full hook up system? I have back problems and would like to be able to pull a hose (already attached to tanks) off a reel and place nozzle in receptacle. I have a 3" I now must unroll attach at both ends and elevate on a plastic drain elevation device.
Aside from the mess I hurt for hours if not days after the installation of hookups.
Thank all of you for helping
Sounds like some bad issues with your back. Since the common 3" components are almost weightless, I would surmise that your issues are more related to the kneeling down than with lifting. The macerators I have seen would eliminate the support snake, so maybe less kneeling for that. I don't own one, but from here it doesn't seem like it would be any easier on your back.
If the macerator could be attached and wired semi-permanently, and you just need to attach a garden hose, that might help you. Would depend on your rig as to how difficult that would be to achieve.
