Jabsco 18597-1000 Large Macerator Wearplate
The Jabsco 18597-1000 is the genuine stainless steel large wearplate for Jabsco 18590 and 18690 series macerator pumps and 22130 series units. It sits between the macerator housing and the pump body and takes the rubbing wear of the impeller vanes.
Macerator pumps grind waste into a fine slurry and pump it from a holding tank to a deck fitting or overboard where permitted. Keep the chopper, wearplates and impeller in good condition, since worn parts reduce flow and let solids jam the pump. Never run a flexible impeller macerator dry, and flush it with fresh water after emptying the tank.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the macerator run dry?
Flexible impeller macerators must not run dry except run-dry models, which tolerate it for limited periods.
Q: What should not go through a macerator?
Wipes, rags, sanitary products and hard objects. They jam the chopper and wear parts quickly.
Q: How often should it be serviced?
Inspect the impeller, wearplates and chopper at least once a season, and more often with heavy use.
Q: Why does my macerator hum but not pump?
Usually the impeller is damaged from running dry or the chopper is jammed with debris. Isolate power before checking.
