Macerator options
Basic question: Is Flojet brand really worth the cost?
Amazon shows several different makes/models with prices all over the place. Floject is significantly higher than the others. Most likely, based on the type of camping we do, we'd be using the macerator only for grey water. Any input would be appreciated.

Wouldn’t see why you need a macerator for grey water
Maybe

I thought about just a 12V water pump from Harbor Freight but not sure if that'll get fouled with food particles. Thanks!2021 Solitude 310GK: Linen/DP windows/gen prep/slide toppers/king bed/EOH disc brakes/Cooper-H tires

I use one of the cheapies from Amazon with a Water Bandit and a 130' garden hose to empty my black and gray tanks at home. It's not really lifting, but it's a long run through a garden hose. I've had no issues at all with this approach. I wired in a switch and put a two prong flat plug connector on my battery and on the macerator power line. All in, I think I spent under $100. I'd have no issues with pumping gray water up a couple feet with this setup. Only issue you'll run into is water left in the hose once your tank is empty and the pump loses prime, but that's pretty easily solved with an extra valve between the water bandit and the garden hose.

I bought the Anbull on Amazon for $85, added a clear 45°elbow with the hose flush valve. It pumps through a 100' hose slightly up hill with no issues. Having the hose attachment on the clear 45 lets you run clean water into the system to clean out your pump and the hose running to your septic or tote.

I use the clean dump system. Probably way overpriced but all together and well packaged. We have an extremely low drain and seemed like I was always fighting uphill.
It all fits in one water sealed tote takes up less room than a stinky slinky and slinky holders. It was one of the best purchases I made. It lives up to its name my dumps are clean, I Think I flush the tanks more just for the heck of it.
I added a 12V SAE plug originally in the battery box now in the water distribution panel. Saves time, space and dread.Ex-Nihilo
