Re: Macerator issues - HELP!!!
For clarification - the toilet is a not the problem - the 1/2 bath has its own black tank. To dump the tank - we have to open a valve (just like the valve on a grey water or black tank) then the material goes from a 4" to a 2" (roughly) pipe that is directly connected to the macerator. From the macerator there is a 1 1/2" hose that runs to the other side of the RV where another valve needs to be open to empty the tanks. Once both of these valves are open - we press a button to turn on the macerator pump - and if working correctly - it will essentially 'blend' the material and the 'vacuum' will pump it out to the side where it can be dumped. Right now - we open both valves and turn on the pump (the pump runs) but nothing really comes out.656Views0likes0CommentsRe: Macerator issues - HELP!!!
Thank you to all - the macerator pump unfortunately is necessary for this bathroom - I don't want to cut a hole in the bottom of the rig to put in a direct dump - even though I think that would be easier. This is just a poor design by Winnebago - there is no clean out access to the tank where you can flush 'things' out. We will start with servicing the macerator pump and go from there.652Views0likes0CommentsRe: Macerator issues - HELP!!!
Hi thank you - Yes there is/was plenty of water and 'material' in the tank. We had someone remove the material (similar to a porta potty truck) then we put another 5 gallon bucket of water down the toilet to see if they 'may' have removed the blockage - still no luck. When using a flashlight to look into the tank - we can only see straight down. We have also tried to snake the toilet -again no luck.194Views0likes0CommentsMacerator issues - HELP!!!
My 2011 Winnebago Vista 35F has 1-1/2 baths. The 1/2 bath has its own black tank with a macerator pump to pump the waste to the dump. I can open the valves however only a trickle of water comes out - then NOTHING. The macerator pump runs with - but nothing is coming out! We think it could be several thins - 1) the dump waste valve is not working - 2) there is a blockage from the valve to the macerator - 3) the macerator pump needs to be serviced. Has anyone experience this issue? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!!!3KViews0likes20Comments
