Jim/Olley,

It's plumbed in, wired in, chucking crud out like there's no tomorrow! Nice piece of kit, and it's no small thanks to you that it's operational.

Cheers guys. If we ever meet at Jim's pub, the first round's on the house. occasion5

Dougie.

I have a macerator (Flojet from Linda) which I've only used once. The discharge pipe leaked under pressure due to my Mickey Mouse temporary connection, but that's a different story and you don't want to go there. . .

I'm now on a site where I expect to stay for a couple of months, about 100' from the dump point. I hope to set up the system to macerate my worries away, traa-laa.

Question is, do you have to clean the macerator after it's done the business? I just wonder if it might not work too well full of baked on crap?

And can we have a competition for max discharge pipe run?

It shouldn't have any baked on crap if you follow the recommended sequence of discharge:- black tank first (flushed if possible), followed by grey. The grey water acts as a flush-through for the macerator and hose.

No worries. It's amazing how quickly you become an "expert". Very Happy Here was me pleading away just a couple of posts above you, and now I know it all....

Now that I'm using the macerator in earnest (despite Earnest objecting...), I have another question.

I've been using a Hozelock-type adaptor (3/4" threaded to female snaplock) on the outlet nozzle. It leaks a little on the threaded end, so as it's an old fitment, I thought I'd change it. Trouble is that a standard 3/4" thread appears to be a little different, and I can't find any other fitment which will screw onto the outlet nozzle on the macerator.

Does anyone know what thread it is?

Dougie.
