I've used the sewer solution for years. I bought it the first year they came out, I believe. I'm on my second, as plastic won't last forever
*. I won't use anything else if I have a spigot available for the water hose. I guess in a way it is a macerator in that the water jet breaks up the solids and forces them down the hose. Of course I also carry a regular sewer hose for times when there is no spigot. Also look up "water thief", this is a handy device that adapts an unthreaded water hose to a spigot for a hose. (may need a hose clamp)
I also own a brand new macerator that I got for a great price. I've yet to try it out though. I think it will be a PITA, because of its need for 12V DC. I imagine the current draw is significant also. (I just checked a random macerator on the web. Its current was 20 amps. That's a bunch of power. (240 watts)
Make sure you get extra hose for the sewer solution. IIRC, it only comes with 10 feet. Using standard PVC fittings, the sewer solution can also be adapted to use rigid PVC pipe. At our last home, there was a sewer cleanout located about 50 feet from the trailer. I dumped our tanks there with the sewer solution and 4 10 foot lengths of PVC pipe(1 Inch, I think).
The water jet on the Sewer Solution rotates to allow it to be used for back flushing the tanks. That works great also.
