OK, lets look at this from a logical look. Macerators chew up debris and then eject it out of the Macerator. NOT REGULAR WATER BUT DEBRIS THAT IS THICKER THAN WATER. FLAT hoses, the one thing they require is PRESSURE/VOLUME to expand them to normal diameter to function. So, you want to connect to a macerator discharge and HOPE when the pump is attempting to spew out the debris, which is thicker than water, it will expand the hose in a timely matter. THEN (it will work, just not the best), you have a flat smelly hose full of debris remnants, that you will have to flush out. There is a reason OEM Macerators use a semi-rigid pliable 1 inch hose(usually 20 to 25 feet) connected to the discharge of the Macerator, and they have a cut off valve on the end for that smelly part. While the flat hose may work, it is not the best way to go for a Macerator system. Doug
AND, hope nobody else grabs that hose to connect to the City water input or to fill a fresh tank:B
