Portable Macertator
I just wanted to share my experience with a portable Macerator pump for the RV. I have had problems finding a place to empty the black and gray tank when returning home. The places I use have closed the stations down or don't allow drive in's any longer. I suspect use has been reduced due to covid.
I have sewer clean-out at my home but it was about 140 feet from where I park my trailer. The Macerator pump recommends a 25 foot 3/4 hose but from I had read those who had purchased the Flojet used 75 to 100 foot 3/4" hose without a problem. This was still out of reach from my clean-out.
I checked under my house and found that there was a sewer line on the same side of the house that I park my trailer on. I spoke with a plumber and he said that there would be no problem adding a connection.
I can now use the Macerator with a 25 foot 3/4" hose if parked in front of my RV port or a 75 foot 3/4" hose if parked in my RV Port. Both work great. The 25 foot hose is easier to deal with.
If your thinking about this it sure makes things more convenient.
