Macenator pump - again

I have a suggestion for the designers of the pump. Add an Allen key access on the bottom of the pump similar to your sink mounted garbage disposal to loosen jams.


For the secound time I have had to remove the clear plastic cover to free the impeller blades - which results on “tank residue “ dripping down on me while working. An Allen key would be a much better solution - just saying.

An interesting idea, but I fear that the area of the impeller, the macerating area where a drain plug is ideal, would disrupt the movement of sewage.

Maybe your system is different, but on my macerator, the end of the motor has a slit in it to use a screwdriver to free up things.  Replacement macerators lack the opening to access the shaft of the motor, so I drill a hole as part of the installation process.  MANY PICTURES HERE.  I also posted the replacement process HERE.
