"Too long"? :? The FloJet Waste Macerator is rated to empty a 30 gal waste tank in under 3 minutes ... that's slow? :h

While I did not time it. I imagine my 40 gallon tanks took 5-6 minutes or so to dump 25' slightly uphill. That is slow compared to the 30 seconds to a minute it takes using the stinky slinky.
The macerator has its place and it is another tool in the arsenal, however I'll take plain ol' gravity anyday.
I learn something new here every day. ;) I can understand why someone not familiar with just how easy it is to service a trailer's waste tanks with a macerator pump like the FloJet may initially balk at the cost but I must admit I'm baffled by anyone who already owns one but doesn't use it in favour of sticking with the old fashioned method of gravity dumping into a heavy wheeled tote tank, even if the offload process itself is quicker. Thanks, but I'll spend a couple extra minutes using my macerator if it means I don't have to ever deal with a heavy wheeled tote tank and slimy stinky slinky. :E To each his / her own I guess. :R
