Shurflo Macerator & Waste Pumps
Shurflo Macerator & Waste Pumps: Engineering Excellence for Demanding Applications
When it comes to reliable waste evacuation in marine and RV environments, Shurflo has established itself as a trusted name in the macerator and waste pumps category. Now part of the Pentair family, Shurflo's macerator pumps are specifically engineered for sanitation waste and fish box evacuation, combining robust construction with innovative features that deliver consistent performance in harsh operating conditions.
Innovative Dual-Blade Design and Run-Dry Technology
The unique dual-cut blade design ensures waste is ground up thoroughly, setting Shurflo macerator pumps apart from competing solutions. This dual-blade and housing construction provides trouble-free operation even when handling challenging waste materials including tissues, cigarettes, and fish scales. The premium impeller design features run dry capability, protecting the pump from damage during those critical moments when the tank empties or air enters the system—a common failure point in lesser pumps.
Superior Motor Protection and Construction
Shurflo's 3200 series macerator pumps incorporate a high quality motor with a seamless shell design that is thermally protected. The seamless e-coated motor shell features O-ring sealed end bells and a sealed manual turn key, providing multiple layers of protection against the corrosive marine environment. The thermal protection prevents motor burnout during extended operation or when encountering higher-than-normal resistance, while ignition protection ensures safe operation in enclosed spaces typical of boat engine compartments and RV installations.
Performance That Moves Waste Efficiently
A flow rate of up to 13 gallons per minute conveniently empties any tank in minutes, making Shurflo macerator pumps ideal for both holding tank evacuation and through-hull discharge applications. The pumps are self-priming, capable of drawing waste from a five-foot lift when wet and four feet when dry straight out of the box. This self-priming capability eliminates the need for manual priming procedures and ensures quick, reliable starts every time you activate the system.
Built for Marine and RV Reliability
Operating on 12 VDC power systems standard in marine and RV applications, Shurflo macerator pumps integrate seamlessly into existing electrical systems. The pumps feature 1-1/2 inch inlet connections and 1 inch outlet ports, accommodating standard marine sanitation hose sizes. Whether you're outfitting a cruising sailboat, powerboat, fishing vessel, or recreational vehicle, Shurflo's macerator pumps deliver the reliability and performance needed for worry-free waste management in remote locations where system failures aren't an option.
