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

Why in the world would you want to interface hard wall PVC pipe to a macerator when it's already designed to have a 3/4" garden hose screwed on to it?

I can't imagine why it matters, but...I want to run it probably 150 feet and I have a bunch of PVC laying around.
Now can you answer the question?
It "matters" because a Flojet macerator is spec'd by the manufacturer to output to a maximum length 50' of 3/4" hose ... if you choose to do otherwise there's no guarantee the pump won't suffer premature failure. Your choice, but obviously if you want to output the pump to PVC you need to make up an adapter with a 3/4" GH female connector at one end and whatever is required at the other end to connect to your 150' of PVC.
Good enough? :R
