Macerator Pump now has a fully sealed motor and a new more powerful chopper blade. The sealed motor consists of o-ring sealed end bells, sealed bearings and a hard durable powder coating to prevent corrosion occurring both internally and externally. A new four bladed chopper has been added to further reduce the possibility of clogging. The DC macerator pump unit is the ideal solution for the emptying of marine holding tanks, fish boxes and livewell receptacles.

To unblock the macerator, a technician will first turn off the power supply. They will then remove the lid of the macerator. The blockage will most likely be toilet paper or other waste that has become stuck in the blade.

If the macerator is blocked, clear it. It could be that a foreign object is tangled around the blade causing friction. To remove the object, use a pair of thin-nosed pliers and turn the blade counter-clockwise, removing the object as you turn.

Pour 1-2.5 litres of Toilet Cleaner & Macerator Descaler into the toilet bowl. Turn the macerator pump on for a few seconds to allow the descaler to enter the macerator. Turn the macerator off again and allow to work for 2 hours.

The common rule regarding macerator pumps, is the machine, which will usually last up to 15 years, if handling a small amount of waste. With standard usage in a main bathroom in a domestic home, you can assume a macerator to last at least for about 10 years.
