Sewer Solutions quit working!

We've been using a macerator from Sewer Solutions for almost a year now. A few days ago the water jet quit. Water just trickled out of the nozzle. We traced the problem to an inoperative nozzle which we backed out of the head with a nut driver. Found that the orifice was almost plugged solid with buildup from campground water. A good cleaning with a straightened paper clip fixed the problem. I had no idea that chemical buildup could occur in such a short period of time. We never use campground water for drinking or cooking so up until this point we were never overly concerned with filtering our water. All of that has now changed with the rapid buildup that we've just seen.

Although we use bottled water for drinking/cooking we still filter every ounce of water that enters our Montana.

Chris, we started by removing parts one at a time from the hose end, checking the water flow on each component as we progressed. The entire head is really very simple to work on and troubleshoot.
