MACARATOR OPINIONS?

The one and only comnplaint (And the solution) is that if it's not used often adn I mean often it develops "Sticktion" that is the impeller blades stick to the pump housing and when you turn it on POP goes the fuse.

Solution .. On the non-pump end of the motor is a slotted shaft.. Use a quarter or any flat tool to turn it one rotation, this cures the problem 100%

When I need it.. I'm very glad I have it.

I have had that problem three or four times. Unfortunately, two times I turned the motor the wrong direction and broke the impeller each time. I learned that after using the pump, a half of teaspoon of any oil in the macerator prevents the impeller from sticking. I also painted a large white arrow showing the direction of rotation.

I have had my macerator since about 2005. I prefer not to wait in lines, prefer not to dump in the wind rain, or nasty facilities. The Macerator allows me to dump at Dump Stations or when I get home. I have a Stinky Slinky but seldom use it.

My Flojet 18555-000A, Portable RV Waste Pump, 12 Volt DC, Macerator, Includes Carrying CaseMacerator now cost about $210.



I also use a Camco 39572 5" Clear Sewer Hose Adapter. The adapter allows me to see that the tank valves are empty, and as you can see in the photo doubles as a Marguerita making machine.



I have a 12 volt connector near my dump valves.

I have two 25 foot black hoses in my TC and a 50 foot black hose at home by my clean out. I can sit in a chair in my garage out of foul weather and dump my tanks, or simply wait until the mood strikes me.
