Discharge hose for macerator
Trying to save room as I am running out of storage. Thinking of using this hose for Shurflo macerator. Anyone use something like this? Will it work? opinions? click

I used a couple hundred feet of the roll flat lightweight pool hose to dump the holding tanks from the 5th wheel to the dump station. The Flojet burned up before the tank was empty.
No wonder, the FloJet Macerator Instructions call for no more than 50' of 3/4" diameter output hose and that's over "horizontal discharge", running uphill even less length is recommended. I've been discharging with my own FloJet Macerator through the recommended length & size of hose for 12 yrs now and haven't had any issues at all. :B
Yes, but I hope there is a little "wriggle room" built in there. I use 75' of 3/4" hose (not flat) on a horizontal area, no uphill.
The guy who posted that he burned up his pump said he was using A COUPLE OF HUNDRED FEET OF LAY FLAT HOSE! That is 2/3 of a football field, and the pump had to also provide enough pressure to hold the hose inflated while doing it!
