Macerator Pump by Raritan Excels While the Competition Fails

Macerator Pump by Raritan Engineering

Raritan’s Macerator pump is designed to solve problems and failures associated with other macerator pumps. Most macerator pumps on market can only run dry for very short period of time. Raritan’s proprietary formulation of nitrile combined with thermoset housing allows the Raritan Macerator pump to run dry 30% longer than other pumps on the market today.

During our development of our Macerator pump, Raritan discovered another common failure among other macerator pumps on the market is shaft seal failure. The Raritan Macerator pump uses a Viton spring loaded shaft seal to extend life of seal. Viton material can withstand the various chemicals used in holding tank treatment and being spring loaded, prevents leaks during low pressure idle (non-pumping) time.

Many of our competitor’s pumps have been known to fail due to corrosion of pump mounting bolts. For that reason Raritan’s Macerating pump includes all stainless steel hardware to prevent corrosion due to sewage and chemicals.

One major problem with maintaining a typical macerator pump is the spillage of sewage when the inlet and the outlet are disconnected. Raritan’s Macerator pump is available with an optional waste water shutoff valve to isolate the inlet side sewage line and a standard quick disconnect fitting on the discharge line of the pump. Our waste water valve is compact, fits in a small space and operates with only a 1/4 turn rotation of the gate slider.

The pump motor used in Raritan’s macerator pump is protected internally with a thermal PTC cutout. In the case of overheating or overloading the motor will shut down and protect itself from failure. An optional Smart Macerator Control (SMC) is available to monitor our pump. Raritan’s Smart Macerator Control (SMC) monitors the motor and pump to prevent dry run and overload. Our SMC control will shut down the pump if the pump does not prime within 7 seconds or if the pumps runs dry for 5 seconds or if pump draws more than 20 amps. The SMC will jog the macerator pump for few milliseconds every seven days during idle time to prevent binding of impeller.

Protecting Your Outboard From Corrosion

Easy to Follow Steps to Keep Your Outboard Running Smoothly Raritan Engineering Company your   marine hose  specialists would like to share with you these topics we thought would be of interest to you this month regarding protecting your outboard from corrosion. Your outboard continuously draws water in, circulates it around high-heat components to cool them, and then discharges the water. We recommend flushing after use in salty, muddy or contaminated water because deposits can cling to inside passages and break down those surfaces at a molecular level. Plus, flushing helps to prevent clogs that could impede the flow of coolant water. The flushing port on Mercury outboards makes this easy. With the engine off, trim it to the vertical position, attach a freshwater hose, open the spigot halfway and flush for 15 minutes.  I flush my outboard with Star Brite Salt Off after a day on the water. It’s cheap insurance. I do this right away, while the engine’s still hot. Your...

  Don't Let Seasickness Ruin Your Trip Raritan Engineering Company your   marine toilet systems  specialists would like to share with you these topics we thought would be of interest to you this month regarding five great ways to cure seasickness quickly. Hands up if you’ve experienced at least one bout of  mal de mer  in your lifetime. And don’t be embarrassed. Many people are prone to motion sickness; it’s waaaaay more common than you think. According to the Centers for Disease Control, nearly 100% of us have—or will—succumb to seasickness on rough waters. What is seasickness and what causes it? Think of it as a battle of the senses. Your marine toilet systems experts talk about how seasickness occurs when one part of your balance-sensing system (your inner ear, eyes and sensory nerves) senses that your body is moving, but the other parts do not.  It's not easy (or fun) being green! Symptoms of seasickness run the gamut from dry mouth, cold...

Each year about three out of four recreational boat owners say they plan to enjoy the Fourth of July holiday aboard the family boat.  1. Before you head out,  give a short orientation  to guests, not only about essential items, such as how to move about a moving vessel (with one hand always connected to the boat) or how use the head, but also show them how easy it is to use the VHF radio and safety gear, especially life jackets. 2. For that unexpected young guest without a life jacket, the non-profit BoatUS Foundation’s free Kids Life Jacket Loaner program gives boaters a chance to  borrow child-size life jackets  for the day, afte...
