Home made macerator

[Dannyabear1]

Has anyone here built one using a garbage disposal unit? Does it work? Will they pump 50'? Thanks

When I visit my daughter, I use a garbage disposal unit adapted to the 3" drain to pump my holding tanks 100' and 5' uphill thru a 5/8" garden hose. Works like a charm. Even better that the 12volt macerator pump that I have.

Here is a link on how to build your own garbage disposer macerator pump.

Garbage disposals don't "pump"....
