Correct procedure for emptying waste tank...

I cannot see the picture at work so I cannot comment whether the setup is the same as mine or not.

I offered a suggestion based on what works for me. If one finds the suggestion to be of little or no value, fine. If one's system is set up in a way that makes trying this suggestion impossible by laws of physics, that is fine as well. I have no ides what setup the original poster in the UK has. Again, it was merely a suggestion.

I am at home now and can see the diagram. That is not how my waste system is set up. I have a separate pump out line for the deck plate and the macerate system. I agree, if my system was indeed as pictured, my suggestion would be of no value.
 
The solution to your issue is, DON'T use the macerator! Come on Sir, nobody wants your effluent in the water anyways. And I'm being kind by calling you Sir!

Huh? I dumped about 50 gallons overboard this afternoon...
 
Like every living creature in the ocean doesn't already sh** in the water... I've got a treament system and pump out legally just about everywhere inside three miles...
 
I, too, would be concerned about sucking ice cubes throught the duck bills and vacuum pump. On my boat, someone tried to get a tampon to the waste tank and it stopped the vacuum pump in its tracks.

I believe the 1st General Rule of Marine Toilets is:

Don't put it in the toilet unless you have eaten it first.

What if you invite a tampon eater onboard?
