With Saniflows unique system you can put a bathroom anywhere- even in the most unconventional places. A saniflow can fit in your basement, in a closet, under the stairs or anywhere without breaking the floor. Saniflow, with its unique macerating system is the perfect solution for any space that has plumbing issues.

What is macerating?

Macerate means to soften or to split in pieces. The Saniflo macerating systems use a revolving cutting blade to dissolve human waste and toilet paper. When mixed with flushing water the waste is pumped into a sanitary sewer as fine slurry.
Fitting in a bathroom where you want is often impossible. The main drainpipe has to be perfectly placed or the new bathroom or sink will be lower than the drainpipe, making conventional installation unfeasible. If you have this problem Saniflo Up Flush Toilet and Macerating Pump is the solution.
Saniflo's macerator unit solves all plumbing issues. The unit is capable of grinding and pumping waste over a distance of 150 feet and up to a height of 18 feet. The system automatically activates to reduce effluent to slurry and pump it away to the soil stack, septic tank or sewer through small diameter discharge pipes.

How it works: When the toilet is flushed the sewage is discharged by gravity into the rear spigot and through that to the macerator. As the discharge level rises to a preset level the macerating device is activated. The flapper style check valves on the sides of the inlets close temporarily, while the blades inside rotate at 3,600 revolutions per minute and diminish any solids within the sewage into liquid, in about 3 or 4 seconds. The waste is pumped into a sanitary gravity drain through a standard size pipe. Once the liquid sewage is entirely pumped out of the macerator, the micro-switch deactivates. A non-return valve in the macerating unit stops back-flow of the reduced sewage into the unit. The toilet refills with water. The macerator is now clear (apart from the water seal) and the system is ready to go again.

Hey, wait a minute.
