Hi Joan
I followed your link, read an amount of it and a question then came to mind. ????
Are you looking to the Macerator pump for dumping at campgrounds or do you have a special dumping situation at home or somewhere else you are trying to overcome?
If it is normal campground dumping, the addition of black and or gray tank sprayers along with an RV hydro flush can greatly enhance clean tanks and easy dumping.
The Macerator can chew up about anything that comes out...and pump it uphill if need be. But they do not help clean the tank of stuff that will not flow out by itself.
Not trying to talk you out of one, just offering other possibilities if you are trying to overcome a specific problem. I have thought of getting a pump for at home as there are times I have to clean up at home as the dump station line is real long. Using tank sprayers in a long line I avoid to not hold up the next guy as I can clean up at home. So in those cases I dump and run.... I can back up next to my aerator tank at home and flush there. But in the wet spring I do not want to mess up the lawn with ruts so pumping has been thought about. Just never made it to it yet.
Another problem are some campgrounds they have no water hose with screw on hose threads. May be an Ohio thing. They put in a brand new dump station and have a hose but no threads on the end. Making pressure rinsing not doable. May be some health reg as they are afraid of folks getting the cleaning water mixed up with potable water.
Hope this helps
John
