Customer Reviews for VEVOR RV Portable Macerator Pump, 12V, 12GMP Quick Release RV Waste Pump, RV Sewage Sewer Pump with Detachable Quick Connection Valve Metal Hose Clamp Power Cord, for RV Boat Marine Motorhome Camper

I purchased this pump to dump our black tank while we're living in it. We are building a house and living in the travel trailer. I couldn't set it up close enough to dump through a standard hose so I thought this may be my best option.

This macerating pump is incredible! It will empty my Black (sewage) holding tank in less than 4 minutes, thru three 50 ft garden hoses slightly uphill! THAT IS IMPRESSIVE!

CONS:Outlet nozzle / fitting is plastic (that is a weak point when you are dealing with long hosesRing Clamps (supplied) are TRASH - don't even try to use them, throw them away.Hose (supplied) is not exactly the right size, or is cheap (stiff) and won't seal well.Lead wire is short for this job and an old lighter plug ?@? who uses those anymore ?All that aside the thing works and works well (I pookied the outlet nozzle with some gasket maker to stop the little leaks) add in good automotive hose clamps and we use a good HD 3/4 hose on it. It takes about 5 minutes to empty our tank: we stay on supply water a lot so have a high water to solid content. The back-flush system (through the pump) is iffy. I just use a hose through the toilet for better results (IMHO). We also added about 2 feet of clear line at the end of the hose so we know when we run clear - and we don't spare the back-flushing as well.In the end I'm happy with the setup, and it saves us trouble & money. Our RV parking is down hill from our sewer system, so we had to drive 12 miles to the dump station or stop by there on every return trip (not to mention letting Uncle Joe and Aunt Emma use it when they visit, and we are low on beds). While our 'tote' system worked, it was a lot more hard work than this thing.

Very happy with it.

I've used this pump three times so far and I am very satisfied with the performance and quality of the pump. I like the clear tube it came with for the output side as it allows monitoring of the discharge. It hooks up directly to the standard connection on the RV drain hose

This macerator pump has been a total life saver for us while we are stationary for a few months moochdocking at my parent's house. If we hadn't discovered this we would have had to leave every 7 to 9 days and go somewhere and dump our tanks. Instead, we are able to use this weekly and don't have to leave to empty our tanks. It has a place to back flush if necessary due to a clog - although we haven't had to use it yet. I basically just know it works for us and we would recommend it to anyone in our situation. Totally worth every penny!

This thing works great. It saves a lot of time and effort of not having to use the port a tote

It accomplished what I wanted it to do. I don't moochdock but I do camp frequently at a rec area that does not have a dump station and nearest dump is 10 miles away, so I wanted to pump from the RV tanks to a portable tank pre-loaded into the back of a pick up so I didnt have to lift it (250lbs when full). I have used this pump twice and found that it actually worked pretty well. I did buy a female/female garden hose adapter so I can direct connect the hose to the portable tank inlet. Overall I am pleased with the purchase and would buy it again.Pros- Grey water was easily pumped "uphill" into the portable tank in the pickup truck.- Black water mostly pumped "uphill" into the portable tank.- Unit was not nearly as noisy as I thought it might be. Was not obnoxious sounding at all.- You can listen for a "hollow" sound when the pump is dry and turn it off.- It certainly feels solidly built.- flushing pump clean afterwards was easy and unit cleaned up nicely.- Macerator fit the RV dump connection perfectly.Cons (Most cons are probably NOT a limitation of this unit, but macerator pumping in general)- On the black water, some of the solids were left behind. Since is does not flow out quickly in a massive stream as when normally dumping, the liquid can still flow but leaves some of the solids behind. Need additional water for flushing/pumping out. Not an issue when moochdocking, but adding more water to flush is not idea when using a portable tank. Still, a lot of usable volume available afterwards.- Gasket on RV connection of pump was loose, so be careful it does not fall out and you loose it.- Especially when pumping up hill, be prepared when you take the pump off the RV or hose off the pump as some water will come out. Have a small bucket or container at the ready to catch any spillage.- It would have been nice if a Garden Hose Adapter would have been included, but at this price, Im not complaining.- Having a case to put the pump, wiring, etc in would be nice.
