Take a look at my post on the PC Facebook page. I saw this setup a few weeks ago and was thinking of trying it out when we snowbird this winter.

Picture. Because of the picture size the resolution is no very good, but if you look at it on Facebock you can see it better or I could email it to you.

That picture is good enough.  I just thought that it would be helpful to have it on this forum especially if someone interested does not have access to FB.

Thanks

faiello, where did you get it? And how does it connect/replace?

I think I found what they are using between the hose and the 90.

Thoughts?  It has the 2 nubs for the bayonet on the 90 to attach. The 1 inch opening is offset like the photo. But not sure how a macerator hose would attach to a threaded (garden hose?) connection,,, unless it is modified, or there is a slightly different version available.  This was the closest I could find.


It's a shame the stick is positioned where it is in the photo as it blocks the most important piece of the puzzle.

I haven't measured the ID of the hose yet. Thinking a fitting like this and a garden hose coupling plus a few more cpvc fittings
