Macerator System and Pump for RV Septic Tank
Question:
Hi - would this work to help pump into An upstream septic tank? We are brand new to RV’s and considering putting on on our property for my mom to live in full time. It would be about 50-75 feet from the septic tank in our house. Close to level

The SewerSolution Macerator System for RV Waste Tanks - Bayonet Fitting and 4-in-1 Adapter - 10' # SS01 should work well for your close to level application. The backflow preventer integrated is key to make sure your fresh water supply is not contaminated. RV systems are not intended to be dumped with hoses running upstream, so I am definitely hesitant to confirm this will work. It is intended to clean the system, not work as a pump to move the waste.
If you need to pump the waste, I recommend using a water pump after the Macerator like the 12V pump # P25201 or the 115V # LC689054 and obviously never using these pumps for other use as they'd be contaminated.
