I installed a Sanicon Turbo 600 macerator this week. I used one for a few years on previous coach, it just seems easier than the Waste Master simply due to length required at many sites. I have used 200' of macerator sewer line in the past with that system. Here are my notes for those interested.

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.

The 143 gallon black tank was 90% full, the time to drain it with the macerator was 4 minutes 10 seconds. I like it.

I'm currently using the macerator to drain the black tank to the sewer that is 165' from the coach.
Full hookup!
