MACERATOR PUMP 12 VOLT DC

Macerator Pump 12 Volt DC

Easy & Efficient Waste Transfer for Boats, Caravans & Holding Tanks

Need a convenient way to empty a toilet waste holding tank? The Macerator Pump 12 Volt DC is a compact, self-priming waste pump designed to make transferring toilet waste from compatible holding tanks easier and more efficient.

Ideal for boats, caravans, motorhomes and other suitable sanitation systems, this 12V DC macerator pump features a built-in rotary cutter blade that helps break down toilet waste before pumping it through the discharge line.

With a maximum flow rate of 45 litres per minute (2,700 L/h) and a maximum static lift of 5 metres, the pump offers a practical solution for transferring waste from holding tanks to suitable disposal points.

The pump is also self-priming up to 0.5 metres, allowing it to draw waste from a nearby holding tank when correctly installed.

Powered by a 12V brushed motor, the XC-SP 08301 features built-in thermal protection to help protect the motor from overheating during operation.

Whether you're maintaining a boat's sanitation system or emptying a caravan's waste holding tank, this compact macerator pump helps make waste transfer more manageable.

How Does a Macerator Pump Work?

A macerator pump makes it easier to transfer toilet waste from a holding tank by combining a pumping mechanism with a rotary cutting blade.

As waste enters the pump, the integrated cutter blade helps break down suitable toilet waste into smaller particles, allowing it to move through the pump and discharge pipe more easily.

The pump then transfers the waste through the connected outlet hose to an appropriate waste disposal point.

For best performance, install the pump as close as practical to the holding tank discharge outlet to reduce suction distance and improve pumping efficiency.

Ideal Applications

• Boats: Empty compatible marine toilet waste holding tanks.

• Caravans & Motorhomes: Transfer waste from suitable onboard sanitation systems.

• Waste Holding Tanks: Pump toilet waste from holding tanks to designated disposal points.

• Mobile Sanitation Systems: Suitable for compatible portable and vehicle-based sanitation installations.

• Off-Grid Sanitation: Provide a 12V waste transfer solution where conventional mains electricity is unavailable.

Designed for Convenient Installation

The XC-SP 08301 Macerator Pump is designed for use with compatible toilet waste holding tanks and sanitation systems.

Its compact construction makes it easier to install in confined spaces, while the self-priming design allows some flexibility in positioning the pump near the holding tank.

For reliable operation, ensure the inlet and outlet connections are correctly sized, securely fitted and properly sealed.

The pump requires a suitable 12V DC power supply capable of handling its 17A operating current.

Important Operating Information

This macerator pump is designed for intermittent use only and must not run continuously.

To protect the pump and ensure reliable operation:

• Suitable Waste Only: Designed for compatible toilet waste and holding tank discharge.

• Avoid Foreign Objects: Do not pump sanitary pads, condoms, wipes, nappies or other unsuitable materials, as these can block or damage the cutter mechanism.

• Correct Installation: Position the pump as close as practical to the holding tank outlet.

• Secure Connections: Ensure all hoses and fittings are correctly installed to prevent leaks.

• Thermal Protection: The motor includes built-in thermal protection, but this does not make the pump suitable for continuous operation.

• Correct Power Supply: Use a compatible 12V DC power source with appropriately rated wiring and circuit protection.

• Waste Disposal: Always discharge waste at an approved disposal facility or suitable sanitation connection.

• Dry Running: Avoid operating the pump without liquid unless the manufacturer specifically permits it.

For best performance, follow the manufacturer's installation and operating instructions and ensure the pump is suitable for your sanitation system.
