Flojet18555-000A Portable RV Waste Pump with Garden Hose Discharge Port - 12 VDC Motor

We use this to dump our RV tanks at home - especially useful right now as any overnite visitors to our house are staying in the RV during COVID. Have pumped tanks around 10 times so far.Using a 75’ 3/4” hose to pump over level ground... no issues. Pump gets hot when tanks are full and I do lots of black tank flushing .... so sometimes take a break between black and grey tank to avoid over heating. No idea if the pump is at risk of heat damage ... but I’m not taking risks when pumping black tanks :).Seems to manage all the chunks and TP ... makes some interesting noises when grinding. We even had a visitor using regular (vs RV TP) before we straightened them out ... and the pump did fine.Considered the cheaper ‘off brand’ unit ... but decided pumping black tanks was not the time to save money. I shutter to think what it will involve if we have a clog or break down.I use a clear elbow to monitor flow and find it very helpful to understand what is going.Be aware that the wires terminate as wire ends and are not very long. Won’t reach the RV battery on the tongue. I pam currently use a stand alone 12v battery to power it with the leads under a screw terminal post. ... I think in the long term I will add a 12v outlet near the dump valves.Highly recommended!

I haven’t been able to try it out yet as I’ve had a couple of broken ribs, It’s all ready to go .

This works perfectly as one would hopeHas been used for 5 -6 sessions now and empties pretty fast. Chews up the toilet paper and has yet to meet turd that it could not destroy and shove down the hose. All that happens when that huge log you almost had to use a stick to get down the RV toilet gets to the macerator pump is you hear the grinder bear down for a second.If you use the rinse feature for a while after the gray tank it cleans and flushes itself pretty well.Working well for me and I am pushing 150 feet through 3/4 inch hose.

This is a very good Product, works well, yet a couple of things one should know about as well. There is nothing written on the product page about distances which be used for different size hoses, so let me share what was written inside the Flojet container, LOL!!!!! 5/8 hose, 25 ft, 3/4 inch hose 50 feet.Now having shared this, it is important to ensure that you also have a few extra Fuses available for the handheld starter button. If you find that you are pumping too far, the unit will over-heat and shut off, reset itself internally and then can be turned back on.I have had no issues learning the limitations and working with the Unit as specified by the manufacturer, yet I pump almost 68 feet with a 3/4 inch hose and the unit works great. I did start of with a 5/8 hose at 100 feet, that was challenging to have the unit turn off and on. I then went to a 3/4 Hose, cut the hose down to the actual distance I needed and NOT any ADDITIONAL length, why pump waste through extra hose line? Just cut it off at the length required and that stopped any issues with over-heating and fuses.I would recommend a 3/4 inch line and not to waste your time on a smaller 5/8 hose unless it is specifically for grey water or galley water. The pump works smoother and easier and less hot with the large hose and you can easily hear the sound of the pump with the 3/4 inch hose running not as loud and or labored.

This RV waste pump saves me having to bucket my grey and black water tanks to the waste dumps. Hook on my hose and it pumps it down the dump point.
