    Saniflow makes a nice little self-contained unit that sits on the floor. I had very limited space when I installed a basement bathroom. No space for a separate pump tank. It was easy to install, but $1000 for a pooper is a bit high. It has a provision for shower/lav connection, but I opted for their mini grey water pump tank for that. The whole system works well.

    Okay you did not show us how to hook up the water line, I had one of the older ones where the toilet set on a plastic form that chewed it up and pumped it out these new ones behind the toilet you're showing have outlets on the bottom if you don't need them do you cap them off? how does the water get into the macerating tank? Is there a separate inlet water valve? Thank you I have to invest in a new one.

    Hello. What happens if your Saniflo 3 doesn’t have a vent pipe? I had it installed a couple of years ago and recently noticed the plumber only installed the pvc line to the main line and plugged it in. It’s in the basement and rarely used. I also noticed he didn’t put the cap on the small, quarter-sized hole which explains some other issues we were having.

    Can the outlet be connected to a 40 mm pipe (sink pipe) instead of a 4 inch sewer main pipe? I know the direct outlet is 32 mm inches but it goes pressurized, so the question is whether the macerating process is capable of leaving the waste fine enough so it can leave gravitationaly through a 2 inch pipe

      It could be that it is jammed, the motor has failed or the Saniflo capacitor has failed. Check that the macerator blade turns freely, if it does then check that the capacitor is in the recommended range plus or minus 5%

    • @PEXUniverse

      Hey Larry, you can refer to our list of macerating toilet systems here: www.pexuniverse.com/macerating-toilet-systems . From there you can choose a toilet bowl that fits your size and a pump that fits your needs. We would also suggest installing a high water alarm so in case of a pump malfunction you will know about it right away.

But I don't like the idea of sewage or shower drains going directly into the sump basin. I like the idea of lifting it directly up and out. What is all depending on the power of the flush. Their current toilets I'm using upstairs and on the main floor are extremely powerful and have no trouble clogging.

    • @gregoryconnors7370
      @gregoryconnors7370 4 роки тому +1

      The design of these types of systems is to allow for installation at a lower level than your existing plumbing/sewer/septic, like in a basement. The macerating unit is to chop up solids small enough so they can be evacuated through a smaller diameter pipe, and the pump is there to push the waste upwards to the existing sewer or septic line. If you're already flowing downhill, there's no reason to spend money on this type of system.

  • @PanamaVail
    @PanamaVail 5 років тому

    Hi what if the sewage line is clogged past the Macerating Toilet? How do you snake it? I have a Basement where the cement floor and foundation has sunk slightly. So I think the drain pipes leaving from my toilet don't have proper slope. My toilet flushes with liquid but we don't put solids. The house is on the side of a Mountain so the sewer drains great. This basement toilet is on the far side of the house that has a problem. The shower and sink drain fairly well in this basement bathroom. Will the Macerating Toilet work well in this situation? Thanks

    • @shahsmerdis
      @shahsmerdis 4 роки тому

      You have to be careful . If the line is clogged and there are other things going into the same drain . Then it will blow out poop into the path of least resistance
      But good thing is if it's the only thing on the line then it should fix your problem by cleaning the line as you go. If you can make a quick sketch that would be greatm
      Alternatively you can run a pipe outside the home and tie the pump outside the house past the poor pitched pipe.

    • @SADFORIAN
      @SADFORIAN 4 роки тому

      I used 1" on a unit I installed in my new auxiliary bathroom about 3 years ago and it works well.
      I should point out that my installation only has a few inches of vertical lift on the discharge with one 90 degree turn before a short horizontal run of ~ 7 feet before turning 45 degrees left and down vertically to the lower level of the house and converting to a 1.5" 30 degree downward 6' pipe to the stack, so it's a pretty easy path for the pump to manage
      Any serious amount of vertical lift or longer horizontal runs and I'd stick with the smaller diameter pipe
      Also make sure you get the venting right. Apparently most of the fixes that plumbers run into with these is poor/improper venting
      I installed a urinal in tandem with the toilet on a separate drain (not to the stack) so that the pump only has to operate once or twice a day instead of 5 or six times a day

      If you have to cut into the concrete and tie into a subterranean soil drain you.are spending way more than $1000 and you need some specialized equipment as well as containment equipment for the dust when you cut and hammer into concrete.

      I would rather pay the $1000 than having to dig a hole in the concrete for an ejector pump.

      If you have control over what is flushed install whatever model you want, otherwise you need an industrial model with a grinder.

      Okay here is my dilemma. Multiple toilet-clogging household members. Toilet clogged daily, unapologetically overflowing when unsuspecting, innocent non-huge-anus-beholder eliminates after the poop gods and goddesses and subsequantly attempts to flush their modest deposit, unbeknowst to the awe-inspiring, however disgusting, maelstrom of sinister waste lying in wait just under the visible surface of the seemingly innocuous water peacefully glimmering in the bottom of the toilet. Is there a way to install some sort of grinding mechanism (like the kitchen garbage disposal) beneath the toilet and still have everything function properly?

      Only when you got to tear open the wall because some fool did not leave an access panel. Either way, the older models are a nightmare, but the newer ones are not as bad, there has been a big improvement over the years. If it has been installed behind the toilet and not in the wall much easier to get at. Installed behind a tile wall, "HOLY CRAP" I don't want to talk about it but the job has just increased to a minimum of $1,000 bucks for my time in addition to other costs, carpentry work, and replacement parts. That was decades ago I don't plumb anymore except for family aka labor of love.

    Not a great product. Loud pump and toilet water in bowl is very low. So there will be skid marks that smell up the room. Bad design.

    does it mater what kind of toilet paper is used with the macerating toilet?

    • @PEXUniverse
      @PEXUniverse  4 роки тому +2

      No, the brand or type will not have an effect on the macerating toilet. However, like any other toilet, too much of a good thing could become a bad thing. We advise not to use more toilet paper than needed, if you decide to get the Grinder version then you'll know that the toilet paper and some feminine hygiene products will be taken care of no problem.
