I learned about this hack to build a macerator pump using a garbage disposal and decided since I no longer had my Sewer Solution, I'd try my hand at this. With a couple of exceptions I had to buy the supplies needed so it cost me a little more than $50, more like $105.00. Still not a bad price considering a SS is about $110 with 20' of discharge hose and a macerator pump will run $200 to $350.
Yeah, I dunno, as a long time Flojet macerator owner I don't think I'd want to limit myself to a motor that needs shore power to run and would have instead put that $100 into the cost of a 12 vdc Flojet. Certainly a Flojet isn't cheap but I've owned mine since 2006 so I can hardly complain about the couple hundred it cost me at the time. These days it seems to be available for about $225 which IMO is quite reasonable considering how useful a macerator can be. :B
