Rob,

My coach has a 16 gallon gray tank, and a 23 gallon black tank. My shower head has all the water restrictors removed, so it moves a lot of water. And the tankless water heater provides never ending hot water(as long as you have water). So taking a shower in my coach is no different than taking a shower in ones home. Except for the elbow room!

I have not had a chance to measure how many gallons of water one would use while showering in my shower, but it has to be more than 16 gallons. I assume my water flow with a 50 lb water regulator inline is at least 3.5 gallons per minute(and that's a wag). So a 5 minute shower will drain 17.5 gallons. Even a 2 gallon a minute flow only gives one a 8 minute shower. I can shower within these parameters, but the ladies??? And I want to make it as comfortable for them as possible.

So that's why I would need some sort of on switch for the macerator. I don't have the the large holding tanks that you have. But if my tanks ever go out, I'm going with the large single tank.

A float system inside the tank to tell the macerator to come on line automatically would be nice! Hint, hint!!

Scott
