In terms of durability, the lifespan of a macerator pump depends on how much it's used. More recent macerator pumps can last up to 15 years when used sparingly, while those used regularly may need replacing after 10 years. A macerator used daily – in your home, for example – should last for around 10 years.

The Jabsco 22130 series AC macerator pump unit is the ideal solution for emptying marine holding tanks when not in a discharge restricted area. Self priming to 5ft this pump will empty a typical 30 gallon (115 litre) holding tank in less than 3 minutes.

A macerator pump in the fish box of a boat is a type of pump that is designed to grind up fish waste and other organic material that accumulates in the fish box, making it easier to pump the waste out of the box and overboard.

It's true, handling and dumping waste from your RV can be a smelly, messy job, especially when using the standing 3″ sewer hose or “stinky slinky.” A macerator can alleviate some of those concerns. Because of the smaller diameter hose, there is less smell permeating the air around your RV as waste is disposed of.
