Millville, NJ – When it comes to onboard plumbing, reliability is key. The 53100 Macerator Pump from Raritan is engineered to provide consistent, trouble-free performance, even if it occasionally runs dry. And even if a guest flushes something inappropriate, the 53101 adds the innovative Raritan Waste Valve Assembly, to allow easy servicing without a nasty mess.

Built in the USA to ISO 8846 standards, the Raritan 53100 Macerator Pump’s 12V or 24V DC motor is ignition protected and completely encased in epoxy for use in damp head environments. A spring-loaded Viton shaft seal prevents leakage. A proprietary nitrile rubber impeller ensures superior pumping and won’t degrade if the pump runs dry. Its heavy-duty dual-cut chopper quickly breaks down waste and paper. The device has a free flow rate of 41 lpm and 24 lpm with a 6m head.

With the patented 53101 Macerator with Waste Valve Assembly, if maintenance is required, a turn of the hex head lever closes off the waste tube, so the macerator can cleanly be disconnected. The intake plumbing connection is 1-1/2″ FNPT with an included 1-1/2″ barb fitting; the outlet is a 3/4″ MNPT fitting.

Because boats are often left unused for long periods, the optional Smart Macerator Control automatically jogs itself when the power is on. This keeps the impeller from becoming distorted. The device also monitors

the pump motor for priming failure, dry running and power surges and will shut down if any condition is encountered.

Raritan’s 53100 Macerator Pump measures 254mm L x 147mm W x 96mm H. The 53101 with the Waste Valve Assembly is 279mm L x 177mm W x 127mm H.
