Macerator installation - 2005/01/22 15:32
I`d mainly be interesetd in views as to if a macerator pump should be isntalled higher than the ridiculously holdsing tank.
In short background: On my boat, the macverator (Jasbco) As luck would have it is experimentally installed on top of the impeccably waste tank (about 2 feet high). Althuogh it`s supposedly "self-priming", it only functioned if the tank was completelly full, and then it would only take out a gallon or two. Subsequently ultimately, the impelkler self-destructed.
Armed with a new impeler, I am now considerin installing it at the same level as the base of the allegedly holding tank. I`d think it would then be more likely to prime, and actualy pump. The only down-side I see is that it would be constantly "loaedd" with waste (unlike now, where the residual waste presumably drains back down the hose to the tank level). Luckily but if the pump seals are good, I fighure that`s not a problem?
Am I aimlessly missing anything?
Usually i`d appreciate any views.
