I have had a macerator ever since I got the plumbing working on my coach. I have always had access to a dump station or at least a sewer cleanout that served as a dump station. I have never had to dump into a toilet.
But now it appears we may be staying somewhere long enough that we will need to dump, but will not have easy access to a dump station or sewer cleanout. Our only option will be to dump into a toilet. So what do I need to know about this? How do you dump 30 gallons into a toilet that usually flushes only a few gallons at a time? Do you shut off the water to the toilet, and hold the flush valve down or what? Also, about how many feet of hose can a macerator generally pump though? I may need to obtain a longer hose to reach the toilet. I only have about 8 feet of hose now.

If the toilet is working properly all you need to do is pump it slowly into the bowl. It will flow thru the built-in trap and into the sewer. After you finish pumping just flush until the bowl is clean. You can buy 1 inch hose about anywhere to extend it with. I've used up to 50 feet ....Tom

Wow- Mike. Some friend. And I thought sticking the hose in the toilet and pumping was a bit disgusting! I can’t imagine myself carrying and dumping eight or nine buckets full of s...!
You should consider just getting another length of hose to reach the toilet. Much easier and faster.

By the way Paul, I have dumped in several different toilets and none of them overflowed. When it gets about 2/3 or 3/4 full they will flush themselves (no water leaves the tank) and your whole holding tank will pump down the toilet. You do not need to use the toilet flush handle until you are done and want to clean the toilet bowl.

One more question about this. Does it matter whether you are going into a pressure-assist flush toilet instead of a gravity flush toilet?

Paul,
I suspect that a pressure assisted flush toilet will be little, if any,
better for macerator use than a gravity flush. The pressure assist is
really only effective at the very beginning of the flushing action; any
purging after that is due to siphoning, just as with the gravity flush.
The macerator, with 15-30 gallons of material to pass, will be almost
totally dependent upon siphon action.
Anyone who doesn't really understand how a flush toilet works may find this
interesting (as will anyone who wants to know TOO much about toilets!):

On the subject of toilets, many folks have heard or read that the inventor of the modern flush toilet (using an elevated tank operated by a pull chain) was named Thomas Crapper which has led to "other" uses of the name !
We lived in Germany for several years and there is apparently a law there that each new home constructed MUST have a toilet facility that can be accessed by anybody passing by to use if needed! Our new row rented row-house in Raunheim am Main had such a facility just inside the front door. The door from that small hallway into the main house was the one that was locked. I don't know that it was ever used by anyone, but it was definitely possible that the man who made weekly beer deliveries to us COULD have used it.

We have a washer and dryer in our garage at our cottage. The washer empties into a standpipe that goes to our septic tank. I use that now for dumping when we are up there with the GMC. I like that better than running the dump hose through the house to the bathroom. It sure beats going to the state park 10 miles away to dump which we did in the past.
I feel better if I have someone standing by the macerator on/off switch, ready to shut it off if needed, while I observe the pump's discharge in the garage.

You and others should try my wife Billie's "Recipe" for GMC toilets. It's easy to mix up, nice fresh smell, and works better than anything I have ever tried!
Agreed - it is rude to carry a smelly tank around for others to put up with.

10 ea. in a pack $15.39, Your price $ 12.00 per case
Also the Same in Liquid in 6ea. 4oz bottle $ 16.00. Your price $ 12.00 per

You and others should try my wife Billie's "Recipe" for GMC toilets. It's easy to mix up, nice fresh smell, and works better than anything I have ever tried!
Agreed - it is rude to carry a smelly tank around for others to put up with.

We have very good results using RidEx. Add about an ounce to the black tank after each pump out.

That (Rid-X) is the ONLY thing I've used in my holding tanks for many
years, and that only rarely. Never have an odor problem. And NEVER allow
any bacteria-killing substance into the tanks.
