"Do these systems need maintenance?"
No, the motor of the macerator has no gears or brushes to wear out. The motor is filled with oil and sealed for life.
"Where is the waste pumped?"
The waste is pumped into a sewer system, septic tank or holding tank by means of a proper waste pipe system that compiles with the applicable codes.
"What is a macerator?"
To "macerate" is to soften and break into pieces. These macerating systems use a rotating cutting blade to liquefy human waste and toilet paper. When mixed with flushing water, the waste is pumped into a sanitary sewer as fine slurry.
"Where can I use macerating systems?"
Extra toilet facilities can be installed in offices, factories, and restaurants. Extra bathrooms can be installed in basements, cottages, hotels, motels, in fact, most anywhere an extra washroom facilities are needed or wanted.
"Do I need to break up the floor to install the macerating system?"
No, Saniflo units can easily be installed on top of any finished floor, eliminating the need to dig up a floor as required by methods using a sump and sewage ejector pump. Additionally, there is no need to leave an accessible space, as is the case with floor sump system.
"Do Saniflo appliances meet government approval?"
A national recognized laboratory has tested and approved Saniflo appliances. Additionally, Saniflo appliances have been listed with several standards and code agencies, including: IAPMO, Massachusetts State Plumbing Board, Southern Building Code, UPC, IPC, CSA B45.9, ASME 112.3.4 etc. in both Canada and the United States.
"How much water does the system use?"
All models are low consumption type toilets. The Saniplus toilet uses 1.6 US gal of water per flush and the Sanicompact series uses 1.1 US gal per flush. This compares very favorably with older systems of water closets that may use up to 8 US gal of water per flush.
