Macerator Pumps
Managing waste in a boat, caravan, or off-grid setup can be a hassle. A macerator pump helps move wastewater efficiently, making things simpler. Whether you need a pump for a toilet system or a holding tank, there’s a model to match your setup.
Some setups use macerator pumps with waste tanks, keeping things clean and easy to manage. Others rely on 12V water pumps to move fresh water where it’s needed.
What does a macerator pump do?
A macerator pump breaks down waste into a fine slurry, making it easier to pump through small pipes. It’s often used in boats, caravans, and off-grid setups where standard plumbing isn’t an option. Some models handle toilet waste, while others move grey water from sinks and showers.
How far can a macerator pump push? Can it pump uphill?
The distance a macerator pump can push depends on the model. Some pumps move waste several metres horizontally, while others handle short vertical lifts. If you need to pump waste uphill, choosing a strong pump with self-priming features is important. The Jabsco Electric Waste Pump can handle up to 3 metres of vertical lift, making it a good fit for setups with height differences.
Which macerator pump is the best?
The best macerator pump depends on your setup. If you need a pump for a waste tank, the Jabsco Electric Waste Pump is a strong choice. For quiet operation in compact spaces, the Johnson Aqua-T Silent Macerator Pump is a great option. Each pump is designed for a specific job, so choosing the right one depends on your needs.
