Hey All,
I'm just really curious: I have a Johnson TA3P10-19 Mfg# 10-24453-01 macerator pump. As far as i can tell, the plumbing is "normal" in that the holding tank pumpout hose is intercepted by a "T" to the macerator and connected to a smaller exit hose straight to a through hull.
Theoretically... >IF< I were to leave that through-hull open all day, every day for weeks, is there anything keeping backflow of seawater going through the macerator? The holding tank appears to be mostly below waterline (I think).
And if indeed that is the case, during normal use, while you're macerating, how much seawater can come back in after you turn off the macerator and when you close the thru hull? Do I need to hurry up in seconds or I'll get seawater in my tank? Just trying to understand. Thanks.
