Draining your RV Waste Tanks just got a whole lot easier. As RVers, dumping your waste tanks is probably everyone’s least favorable job, and when you’re not at a campsite with a sewer connection (as we have been lately) things can get a bit more complicated. Hence we had to come up with a creative solution, without having to move our RV. We decided to try the Flojet Portable Waste Pump/Macerator and Hose and were impressed with the results – problem solved in under 5 minutes.

The Flojet 18555 Portable RV Waste Pump / Macerator comes in a handy, hard carrying case it to keep the unit safely and compactly stored when not in use. It runs on 12 Volt DC, and cleanly handles both black and grey water from holding tanks with a self priming, powerful macerator pump. This is a great solution for emptying holding tanks on recreational vehicles without the need to use a BlueBoy, or break camp to visit a dump station.

Features:
* Run dry protection up to 30 seconds
* Pump housing connects onto the standard three inch waste outlet
* Six foot power leads with plug that may be permanently attached to the vehicle or attach battery clips for complete portability
* Discharge port is a standard garden hose connector and the macerator section grinds waste down to a particle size of 1/8" maximum
* Pump longer distances and empty your holding tanks into a portable tank, toilet, sewer clean-out port or septic tank
* The pump section is self-priming, permitting the unit to be mounted above the tank in a convenient location
* Empties most recirculating toilets in less than 2 minutes; empties a typical 30-gallon holding tank in less than 3 minutes
Specifications
* Impeller: Jabsco Nitrile Compound
* Motor: 12 V DC Permanent Magnet Type, Fully Enclosed, with Stainless Steel Shaft
* Macerator: Stainless Steel Cutter reduces particlesize to 1/8" (28 mm) maximum
* Seal: Lip Type Port(s): Inlet – 3" (75 mm) RV ConnectorOutlet – Garden Hose – 5/8" minimum

Dimensions: 12" x 13" x 5.5” (carrying case)
Weight: 6 pounds (2.8 kg)

What we like about it:
The Flojet Portable Waste Pump / Macerator exceeded our expectations. We were initially nervous, knowing we were pushing the limits, using a 75’ 3/4” hose to pump our waste uphill (the Floret recommends using a 3/4” inch hose no longer than 50 feet) but we managed to completely dump our blank tank (approx 40-50 gals) in just under 5 minutes. 

Note: The 18555-Series waste pump will macerate and pump all waste and tissue normally found in recreational vehicle waste systems. IT WILL NOT HANDLE HARD SOLID OBJECTS, SANITARY NAPKINS OR RAGS.
