freezing weather and macerators

[Sundowners]

I conitnued to use my Flojet macerator during the freezing weather, I always left it standing upright so that any water would drain out --------------------BUT I left it in my box trailer, not within the (relative) warmth of the 5th wheel's lockers.
The result is a destroyed impeller, I think that the rubber material would not flex in the extreme cold, am I right???? The good news is that the impeller is not expensive, was easy to obtain in this Country or hard to fit!!!!!!!!
The bad news----------------it stopped pumping while emptying the black tankoh:oh::Blush:

Hi Nigel

I've used mine throughout the winter and being lazy I store it under the van still attached to the hose..:Blush: a couple of times the water left in the hose was frozen .. but the pump was ok, I wouldn't have thought that extreme cold would have damaged the impeller .. I may just have been lucky ..

Cheers
