An excellent product, it was easy to install and works really well. I will be using the item on other projects in the future. So far so good. Been in 3 months and working perfectly. Easy to install even for a novice DIY person. We have fitted this for a washing machine and are really impressed by how efficient and quiet it is. Really good value for money as well. Really pleased with this macerater. Working well and just used the two outlets to the toilet and sink. STEP 5: Tap into or establish a fresh water supply to the installation area, and position the supply line valve 10 to 12 inches off the floor. Use cold water for toilet installations.

Makes me wonder why saniflo are so expensive when this does the same job and seems to be quieter to.easy swap connections almost the same .will definitely use on other jobs in the future. Above-floor plumbing is very similar to standard plumbing, but the technology is different. As a result, the installation procedures are different in many aspects. For example, the external macerator pump (on all but the Sanicompact and Sanistar units) is entirely different from conventional plumbing. “Installation is not something that can or should be finessed,” says Coletto. Although the procedure is simple, even experienced installers should review the installation guide and follow it to ensure a good installation. This is being used quite heavily and copes really well. Comes with fittings an non return valve. I’m a DIYer and fitted it in an hour. Noise Level Of 55dB On average the noise of a toilet flushing is approximately 75dB so with a maximum noise level of 55dB you certainly won't hear these macerators in operation, especially if they're fitted within a unit or hidden out of sight.Bought this for a new upstairs toilet. I was I bit worried about the price as it was so much less that the rest. But you have know reason to worry. It is great. Very quiet and the size is perfect some others are really big. I would buy again but looking at quality I don’t think I will for awhile. This one replaced a more expensive make but works just as well as the more expensive one. Great value A great value budget macerator pump. I was a bit dubious at first, but for the money it does the job fantastically. Well made and a doddle to plumb in. Great customer support also from Plumbworld.

Installed myself, first time ever, using a macerator for a basin and shower cubicle. Really easy to set up. Instructions are not the best but manageable. All in all really good unit so far. Works perfectly. The Flo-Force Elite Pump enables installation of shower rooms, bathroom suites and utility rooms in areas of the home such as basement and loft conversions where the main plumbing system is not readily accessible. With this powerful pump, you can connect up to two of the following items; shower, basin, bath, washing machine, dishwasher or kitchen sink and the waste water will be pumped out and away, to the main plumbing system, with ease. It doesn't include a connection for a toilet, for this try using our MACERP600. Was concerned about not knowing the manufacturer but quality was very high. Easy to fit, powerful and quiet. It's been in about a month and no problems so far. I’ve had a few of these Macerator and I must say I’ve never had one issue with them they have always work well and they are well priced and the service from this company has always been excellent, would highly recommend them.

Since joining PSS two years ago, Coletto has seen it all: from mere oversights to a blatant disregard for plumbing basics. “The number-one mistake I see is that the installer didn’t use ¾-inch pipe,” Coletto says, noting that with only three exceptions, the Saniflo units are designed for the smaller-diameter piping. If service team Ltd completes the installation, all the materials and workmanship are covered by our warranty/guarantees.STEP 12: The macerator pump must be vented into the house’s vent system, but it can be installed as a wet system vent. Create a connection to vent sewer gas (see Step 3); Macerators are often used for new bathrooms in areas that aren’t serviced by standard plumbing, pumping the waste either horizontally or vertically depending on where in the home they are installed. The waste is then discharged into the main waste pipe. How to install a macerator? Use a good quality Macerator cleaner and Descaler during the life span of your unit.
