Title: Shurflow Pentair3100 macerator pump.
Post by: cubeman on May 19, 2025, 11:36:02 am
Good morning, guys first time owner first time posting. Trying to work on this small problem I'm sure there will be many others, but so be it overall. esthetic part. purchase. She is a 2023 cruiser. 2552 So my macerator pump would be the one that has the two ears connecting to the knobs. One of those ears must have broken off, the pump was leaking. Found this out first day. Dry camping after my purchase. not opposed to repairs on my own. I was hoping that the top part unscrewed from the pump itself or that I could get a direct replacement. Looking forward to any suggestions on a reconfiguration or where I could just locate a plug and play pump. Thank you in advance. I tried to attach a couple pictures. but not having too much luck, I will. at some point need to go back. Read the directions. no doubt. Pictures make helping me and others so much easier. Please bear with me while I go through the learning phase here.

Pictures would help a lot.  Also, can you confirm your pump model?  We have a 2552 that is just one year older and ours is a Jabsco pump but looks similar to the Pentair.

Sure. She is the 3200- 200. It turned. it turned out that what we needed was the bayonet. 70535. The pump is good. It is the housing that screws on. It's especially part. Thank you again for the reply.

Hi cubeman,

Congratulations on purchasing your 2023-2552 and welcome to the PC forum!

You could call Phoenix.  They might have a spare part on-hand to sell you.

I store all my pictures HERE (https://www.flickr.com/photos/37432012@N08/albums/), then open the picture and copy the link.

PS: It would be great to update your profile to refect what you own.

Thank you for the information. Ron, Yes, one of my daughters will need to help me. I am, no doubt, an idiot when it comes to this stuff. Facebook is pretty easy, but even that was set up by one of my daughters years ago. But I do know how to put pictures on Facebook. The first thing I need to do is get this site loaded on my phone. Then. I would be able to grab the pictures, I would think. I am excited about this coach already made a couple small repairs, which is. OK, the macerator being mounted horizontally is not a good idea. I'll be working on some way to take the weight off those four plastic tabs. But what I really like is the backup of the slinky option, which I will be using this weekend on our trip as the part I ordered with the help of Phoenix cruisers will not be here till next week. I look forward to meeting everybody one day. Nothing like getting together with a bunch of folks sharing the same love :)

FWIW, my macerator has been hanging off those 4 tabs since June of 2007.  I wonder if the previous owner of your PC, hit something with the macerator that caused the prong to break.

Our macerator sits a little low as it should to receive waste.  It is easy to back into a rock in a USFS campground.  I am always watching for such obstacles.

Here you can see our macerator hanging.
