[A/S] Sewer systems...



Could we revisit the Sewer Solution vs the Macerator or, perhaps it might be,
the Sewer Solution AND the Macerator??

Point is, I know that the SS fits onto the end of the "manifold" pipe, takes a
water hookup and then you dump the black and then the gray to clean it all out.
the shore water pressure runs the grinder and venturies the effluent coming out
of the tanks.

Now, tell me if I am wrong but I have never seen the Macerator hooked up but I
ASSUME that it is hooked up to the Blackwater tank by replacing the gate valve??
thus the manifold pipe does not get the black effluent anymore?  only the gray
water goes down the manifold and on out to the sewer inlet?

So, how do you clean out the macerator hose and like that.
In fact, how do you seal off the manifold inlet from the black water tank/gate
valve.

I am confused here.  In fact I am trying to understand why the macerator does
not install on the end of the manifold just like the SSolut. and then be flushed
clean by dumping the gray water tank afterwards???

help?

thanks
