If you have a septic dump close by why do you need a seperate tank? A mascerator pump is perfectly capable of pumping several inches up hill. You connect the pump directly to your dump outlet, connect a 3/4 inch garden hose to it, place the other end in the septic inlet, power the pump up, and open your dump valves. Mascerator pumps can be found at most any large RV parts store, or online either at Ebay or Amazon
........You are correct on all points ! I've spent the last 4 hours researching macerator pumps ! There are a multitude of small , 12vdc pumps between $100 and $200 that will pump into a garden hose and then into a septic drain . From numerous reviews I've read these small pumps , WILL NOT hold up over the long haul......the impellers break , screws rust quickly , etc.
........Jabsco makes a heavy duty macerator pump that runs off 115vac that will probably last but it runs ~$550 , depending ! The BEST choice is a Zoeller , 4\10's Hp , submersible , cast iron pump that sits in a 18" diameter x 30" tall plastic tank that will , for MY situation , have to be buried in the ground . When , I dump my tanks , it will turn ON and OFF automatically and pump into the septic drain pipe . This Zoeller system , already hooked up prior to shipment runs ~$389.95 ! This particular system will last years , but , it's not portable like the smaller , 12vdc pumps . , jf
