The Jabsco instructions dictate the location of their macerator to be on the outlet of the holding tank.
Would it not be better to locate it on the outlet of the toilet so that all solids, whether they go to sea or to holding tank, are reduced to a mush?
I appreciate that evacuating a toilet would require the macerator to run at the same time as the toilet is pumped (although the macerator might have enough suck to open the toilet non-return valve there is still the need to suck in flushing water), but would not this be kinder to the sea when pumping overboard and help the bacteriological action when the holding tank is used?
