Hi All,
I bought a macerator that I was going to hard plumb into the waste lines with a wye and dedicated valves. My cleanout at home is probably 40' away from where I park so figured this would be the best way to dump at home.

It's not an RV specific model just a bare bones model like this one:

My questions for those that have used them is about your procedure, rinsing and storage mostly. I can plumb and wire it easily. (yes I have the heavy gauge wiring, fuse and switch thanks)

Do you use a lay-flat hose or a dedicated garden hose?
Ever pump uphill to a cleanout/tank? What about the remaining bits in the hose when disconnecting?
Please give me all of your fun, interesting stories, tips and tricks, Dos and Don'ts.

Thanks!
