Macerator took a dump!
Past couple of years, I've been having a few problems with my 6 year old Sani-Con model 5800 macerator. First it was hair on the impeller (to be expected with females showering) and wasn't a big deal...

Nice play on words. :)
Thank you... I was wondering if anyone was going to catch it.
My impeller is the same type you'd see on a blender...in other words it has four blades, two bent upwards and two bent downwards. Those type of blades usually cut by high rpm rather than by sharpness. I'm not even sure I can replace the blades or not. They do have a nut/washer on the front so I'll assume that they can.
I tried the different positions...no luck...still won't suck! I'm going to take it apart and see if I can eyeball any problems; if not, I'll probably trash the darn thing.
I really like using the macerator, and as mentioned previously I can only dump my tanks at home by using a macerator, so it looks like I'll be replacing it.
Thanks for all the kindly and intelligent recommendations....I really appreciate it.
