For what it is worth, the first year with out a macerator, I had an "empty" black tank with 2-3 quarts, mebbe a gallon of rv water antifreeze. When it came out of storage the gasket to the black discharge valve deformed and leaked at the bottom. Found a new valve (to get a gasket) and replaced the works. Saved the old valve and gasket and it eventually regained its original shape. My thought is the gasket deformed as a result of the organics in the antifreeze.
I just did a real good drain job through both the macerator and the large hose.
