A jet pump macerator pump sewage handling system which provides a unique waste control system for use in mobile units such as passenger trains and ships in which multiple toilets are connected to a transfer manifold pipe which communicates with a non-clogging jet pump which is formed with a venturi and through which liquid material is driven by a macerator pump. Waste material from the toilets is drawn by the jet pump through the transfer manifold pipe and discharged into the retention tank. The macerator pump withdraws material from the retention tank, grinds it and discharges it back into the retention tank. The macerator pump has a self-cleaning feature in that it reverses and cleans itself whenever a loss in discharge pressure due to excessive solids loading is sensed. The transfer manifold pipe is virtually free from clogging due to the action of an air induction valve which keeps waste material in the manifold pipe moving without allowing it to accumulate.
A toilet system for a mobile unit comprising at least one toilet bowl mounted on the unit, a bowl discharge pipe connected to said bowl, an evacuation valve mounted in said bowl discharge pipe, a transfer manifold pipe to which said bowl discharge pipe is connected, a non-clogging jet pump connected to said transfer manifold, a tank connected to said non-clogging jet pump, a macerator pump with an input port connected to said tank and an output port connected to said non-clogging jet pump, an air induction valve mounted in said manifold pipe, and a toilet flush valve;
A toilet system for a mobile unit comprising at least one toilet bowl mounted on the unit, a bowl discharge pipe;
