Sanicon Hose gets pin holes

We have the Sanicon turbo system. I put a sleeve over the hose right after we took delivery. It did not last 9 months before a pin hole leak developed near the end of the hose. Cut 18” off reinstalled my Banjo fastener and moved on. After 3 years the hose is now about 6’ long.

What is a good quality replacement? Not sure Thetford makes a very good hose. Is there an alternative?

Interesting, I had a single pinhole about 8 years ago. I upgraded to the Sani Con Turbo and sleeved the hose. I haven't had a pinhole since. Do you use the garden hose opening or the full-opening when discharging. I know the pressure is considerably higher with the small opening. And we full-time so it gets a workout. I did use silicone tape to mend the first pinhole and it worked perfectly without cutting the hose.

Maybe you got a poor-quality hose. I also covered mine when new and I'm now at the 6-year mark with the same hose, no holes.

Here's something that might help your issue. If both of your toilets are macerators, just open your black tank and let it drain without turning on the SaniCon. It will drain in just a few minutes without running the SaniCon and putting that extra pressure on the hose. Open your grey if you normally close it while parked and let the grey rinse the hose, again, no pump, just gravity.

I also made my own sewer end. Using 1 1/4" pvc, I made a 3", 4" and 5" spinning hose end that threads into 90% of the sewer drains. This allows the hose to run almost wide open as the sewer end is about the same inside diameter as the hose.

I have a 2021 Entegra that came standard with a Sanicon Turbo 700 macerator.
The standard hose is 31 feet long and comes with the covering. It connects at the coach end with a CamLoc connector. The other end is a grey “spout” to connect to the sewer.
I just experienced multiple pinhole (and larger) leaks while on a trip.
I contacted Entegra Parts for a replacement turnkey hose assembly. The replacement part from Entegra was $413.37 WITHOUT the male CamLoc fitting. That does include shipping and there was no tax. Still Seems a little pricey, no?

Archer 2 that seems extremely high, but that’s what you see getting replacement from the OEM, Newmar is the same way.

Dutch Star Don, yes both toilets are macerating. I will order another Thetford through Amazon and sleeve it also. Hopefully have better luck.

BonS I do not know what you mean “garden hose opening or full opening”? It’s a 1 1/2” hose that connects to an adaptor that connects to the sewer???

Amazon $90 for hose and $25 for sleeve

I'm using a 1 inch ID heavy vinyl hose on my Turbo 400.
It's 10 ft long and I built a elbow like DutchStar Don. I keep the expensive hose in a container unless I need more reach. I have 1 1/2 inch cam locks on the ends.

Solution

I removed the old Sanicon Hose in the wet bay. Using a heat gun to heat up the hose. I installed about 30” of 1 1/2” ID Spa hose rated at schedule 40 PVC. The new hose on order will all connect together using Banjo fittings.
