I've always been curious about a macerator kit. When you use one, how do you deal with the remaining water/stuff in the hose after you shut it off?
How does it do at or below freezing?
On my macerator I had an "inlet" i forget if this was built in to the macerator or to the short backflush adapter.. It uses city water pressure to shoot up into the tank to "Backflush" (I do not think it's all that effective) but on my RV I used a starignt (not elbowed) version of the one I'll link to
After the tank was empty and flushed by the other rinser.. I then hooked the hose to teh clear extension/adapter and filled it with water.. Pump running.. Several times to flush the hose.. Then I "Walked" the hose followign the following procedure.
Disconnect pump assembly from RV
Lift high. disconnect hose from Pump. (Stand up hold at chest level)
Slowly coil the hose allowing it to drain into the septic system as I walk towared the ground end of the hose. Disconnect and store.
In cold weather every dump
In warm weather Only when breaking camp.
yup, the same process I use.
