Nice write up Jim, I didn't have a lot of luck with the flat hose it kinked up unless it perfectly straight and flat I ended up using a 1 inch bilge pump flexible hose. Now if your going long distance like you did it would be perfect.

Thanks Jack.  I have three 21' lengths of the Sanicon 1.5" flexible hose which works in most cases.  Avoiding kinks is important, I would think the motor would overheat in short order or blow a hose.  When I make a long run such as 200', I try to have someone on the switch and another on hose kink patrol.  While writing this I just realized I should add a water hose connection at the macerator outlet to flush the hose.
