Scott,

I'm confused!

Why would you want to turn on the macerator when taking a shower?

Avions have a 40 gallon black tank, no gray tank, a 38 gallon fresh water tank, and level indicating lights on both which come on at
1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and full.

I monitor the level indicators and when the black tank gets 3/4 full I know I'm going to have to dump soon.

Photos of the quick disconnect SeaFlo macerator:

This is what I will install in the Kingsley because it is a quick disconnect model. The mating piece to the macerator inlet replaces
the rubber hose and screw clamp inlet connection for the Jabsco. A plug in connector will be used for 12VDC and screws retained in
the bracket with wing nuts to hold the macerator to the bracket. This will allow the macerator to be replaced quickly if and when it
fails.

Another question for macerator users:

I have a twist on macerator, but have never used it. So I have absolutely no experience with a macerator.

The macerator needs to be turned on and off manually. That seems rather inconvenient while taking a long shower(unless you have a
switch within reach
of the shower). So that would be a mark against using one? Where the gravity 3" hose never needs to be turned on and off while
camping.

The only real positive I can think of on the macerator is that it will pump uphill, and long runs. But at normal campgrounds pumping
uphill is hardly
ever a issue.

Anything I'm missing? How/why is the twist on macerator better/easier than the 3" gravity hose in a normal campsite? You still need
to twist on and
off both styles.

I would like to use my twist on macerator, but just haven't seen it as a advantage. Opinions?

Thanks, scott
