In this video, I repair a crucial piece of boondocking equipment, my Flojet macerator pump. After a routine cleaning, I noticed a drip from the motor end developed the next time I used it. Some troubleshooting lead me to a worn-out rubber shaft seal.
Rather than order and replace it, I decided to order what’s known as the service kit. The macerator service kit relaces several items: impeller, impeller housing, (2) housing gaskets, and a small metal wear plate.
The kit I ordered functioned properly and solved the leak, but the impeller housing wasn’t an exact replacement. It has a 1-inch barbed output rather than a threaded 3/4 inch. I solved it by adding a 1-inch flexible clear hose and barbed to a threaded coupler using hose clamps. I actually prefer this to the plastic heading on the original housing.
