HEY GUYS JUST WENT THROUGH THIS MYSELF
IT SEEMS THE WEIGHT OF THE MACERATOR PUMP ON MINE CAUSED THE TOP OF THE TANK TO WARP INWARD AND CAUSE THE PICKUP TUBE TO BE DRAWN TIGHT TO THE BOTTOM NOT ALLOWING THE WASTE TO BE PUMPED OUT. TRIED 6 HOURS THINKING SOMETHING WAS FLUSHED AND BLOCKING BUT REALIZED THE TUBE WAS ONLY LIKE AN 1/8 OF AN INCH OFF BOTTOM. ACTUALLY WHAT I DID WAS TAKE A PLASTIC BOTTLE CAP FROM A WATER BOTTLE AND NOTCHED IT TO HOLD THE TUBE OFF THE BOTTOM LIKE A 1/2 INCH AND IT WORKS GREAT NOW.
ALSO AFTER 3 YEARS THE MACERATOR PUMP WENT ON MINE.
CALLED AND TO REPLACE IT 650 DOLLARS. HOPE THIS HELPS.
