your gate valve is one of those things, use it or loose it. Leave it open, and it may not close.


I have had some residual gunk out of the macerator hose on long drives with the valve open. Nothing to really worry about, but probably better to shut the gate valve then have the hydraulic action of the black water beating on the pump.
