Comments on: A Better RV Sewer Hose? – New Thetford Sani-Con Turbo https://livinlite.net/thetford-sani-con-turbo/ One Couple's Journey Across the U.S. Mon, 16 Sep 2019 11:25:22 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.1 By: Jim https://livinlite.net/thetford-sani-con-turbo/#comment-15049 Mon, 16 Sep 2019 11:25:22 +0000 https://livinlite.net/?p=5936#comment-15049 Hi Eric!
Our ’17 Entegra Aspire came with a factory installed Sanicon turbo 700 system. Good thing too. Our previous Monaco had a sanicon, and not having one would have been a deal breaker for us.

The newer Entegra setup is nice, the hose has it’s own storage bay right in front of the rear tire, and a little door for access.

I’m wondering if you can get any info on service parts for the turbo system?

When we had the Monaco, over 8 years I had to rebuild the sanicon pump twice. Service parts including an impeller and an o-ring gasket were readily available cheap from Thetford.
I do not see any such service parts for the turbo system! Your link shows an entire pump motor. and the service parts list for our 700 shows only the entire “BOX” as a replacement part ($$$$!!!) Maybe this new model isn’t gonna “wear out” like the old one with it’s rubber bladed impeller did?

Jim

Hey John, our unit is going strong with no hose issues since the install. The hose cover is secured with a zip tie at each end and is long enough to allow the hose to retract and expand without issue. The nylon cover has slack throughout the length of hose allowing everything to perform normally while adding protection to the hose.

I am looking to secure at the sewer connect end and let it bunch up loose back to the pump connection. Since the hose expands when it pressurizes, not sure if there is any rationale to tie it anywhere else along the hose. Just curious – thanks

Just installed my new Turbo 600s.I have 2001 Monaco Dynasty 34.so my wet bay is smaller than yours.The only problem I ran into was with acrylic connector,which becuse of its size, and angled shape would not work in my smaller space.I bought a standard straight connector which corrected the problem.As for the 600 s,it is a beast ! I ran some clean water through it, and thought I was holding a fire hose.Thanks for all your assistance.

Hi Tom, we have a low point in our setup as well but it hasn’t created any issues. Since the grey water bypass is open when parked anyway water flows fine and keeps the low point grey water flowing. Then when we dump out tanks weekly we give it a good flush. Even without a low point there would always be some water left in the pump, thats the nature of a pump that had a grey bypass like the sani-con turbo. Hasn’t created any issues for us and works great.
