I have a need for a Macerator that will pump about 100 feet and up
about 5-7 feet.

I have located two "systems" and one bare pump that appear to meet my
requirements.

1. RV Sanicon model 5800 waste system - $476.00 at rvupgradestore.com
2. Clean Dump - $398.00 (President Club) at CW$
3. Bare pump (Requires additional parts) - RV Macerator Pump by
Jabsco Model 18590-1010 - $264.68 at rvupgradestore.com

I would be interested in hearing from anyone with experience with
any of these units or information about other products that would
meet my requirement or better prices on the units.

I am also interested in alternatives to the expensive 1" hoses that
are offered by the manufacturers.

Thanks, Al


I bought the Jabsco pump from RV Sanicon, or one like it, several
years ago. It burnt out and RV Sanicon sent me another one
gratis, which I am still using, mounted on a bit of salvaged wire
rack to keep it off the ground.

You don't need special hoses. Go to Home Depot or Lowes, and
they will have all the hoses you need. I use 10 or so feet of 1
inch clear hose, a garden hose adapter, a couple of circle
clamps, and a 75 foot garden hose to reach clear across my lot to
the sewer cut out. It works fine. I use the same hose to water
the grass.

Of course, when I fill up the water tank, I use a special hose,
and clean up the spigot with Clorox.

I power the pump by cutting into the DC at the converter, and run
the plug outside to the access door to the refrigerator. As it
happens, this is right above my tank valves.

This looks a good price http://tinyurl.com/5w4fnp

I purchased mine about 6 months ago from this eBay seller, and so far
couldn't be happier. Received a brand new factory sealed unit.

At that time it was $190.00 delivered, but even though he's raised his price
a bit, still a good deal at 194.75, delivered.
