I've debated getting one of those

I've debated getting a cheap macerator, just to give me the option to dump at home if I need to.


Amazon has one that looks like Hank's (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XWVMPGH...v_ov_lig_dp_it), and I wonder about using a Valterra SewerSolution - not as an every day solution, but just an on-demand (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KNBD3XW...v_ov_lig_dp_it).


I have a cleanout that's less than a foot above the dump connection, and it goes pretty deep (so there will be a siphon effect), but I'm curious what folks have seen with either solution (cheap macerator vs. SewerSolution). Do the cheap macerators last, with occasional to rare use? Should I be concerned that in year 3 I'll find the bearings seized?


I'm not worried about getting enough flush water with an electric macerator, because I have a fitting to back flush the tanks that would let me feed water right in front of the macerator.


I don't think I would ever go permanently to a macerator type system, because I like the forceful flush that you get with a full-size hose. Because of that, I'll want to keep costs low if I do this, because I don't expect to do it often.


Thanks for your thoughts,
Rick
