Macerator Pump Discharge Hose

[wa8yxm]

I have many hoses in my motor home.

One is a 3/4 inch BLACK rubber garden hose.. Yup that is what is is for 5/8 or 1" would be better if you are going to run over fifty feet but for fifty feet 3/4 is ok.. (The manual gives size and length recommendations. I do not have it with me).

NOTE: I do recommend the hose be BLACK.

Care to guess what the 25' GRAY hose is for? (Yup, Gray tank #2)

Whatever hose you use on your macerator be sure to mark it in some way "dedicated dirty". I use colorful zip ties on each end.

I used 150' of 3/4 hose going up a slight grade for 6 months straight. No problems. Using toilet paper that decomposes will save a lot of problems with the macerator.

I added two RV sites at the summer home we bought last year.
Adding a sewer line was more work and expense than I wanted to handle plus it probably would have required some sort of permit to connect to the sewer.

When we trenched for the electric cable/conduit, I also trenched and buried about 160 feet of 1" PCV pipe from a valve box at the RV site to a valve box at a point close to the clean out in the back yard.
I have two short black 3/4 inch hoses. One connects between the macerator and pipe on one end and the other to the pipe in the back yard with the free end inserted into the clean out.

I probably could have used 160 feet or so of 3/4 inch hose but the instructions with the macerator had a distance versus hose size chart and recommended 1 inch hose so I went with that.
It is pretty easy to hook up and handle the short pieces of black hose and it is easy to store it in a plastic container with a lid.
The disadvantage (minor) is that the line has to blown out when the underground sprinkler system is blown out. Not a big deal and the guy that blows the sprinkler lines out doesn't charge any more for the dump line.
I do make sure that the hoses and line are throughly rinsed with clean water after the waste tanks are dumped.

Concur on the 3/4" garden hose. I carry a heavy duty one specifically for the task. Works excellent with the 75' hose and about a 3' rise in elevation.
