Saniflo SaniPlus 0.5 HP 115-Volt Macerator Effluent Pump

The SaniPlus is a system that is used to install a complete bathroom up to 15 ft. below the sewer line, or even up to 150 ft. away from a soil stack. It can handle the effluent from a toilet, sink, bathtub and shower. The inside of the SaniPlus comprises of a pressure chamber, which starts and stops the unit, and the motor, which drives the stainless steel macerator blades and the pump. When the flush is activated, the water flowing into the SaniPlus activates a micro switch in the pressure chamber, which in turn starts the motor. The motor is sealed for life in an oil filled enclosure. A common spindle/shaft drives the impeller and the macerator blades. The moving parts therefore are kept to an absolute minimum. Water and organic waste matter enter the chamber and are reduced to slurry as the macerator blades rotate at 3600 RPM. The centrifugal force causes the reduced solids to be ejected through a grill into the container where it is picked up by the impeller pump mounted beneath the motor. The unit pumps the effluent upward to 15 ft. and/or 150 ft. horizontally (with gravity fall). Once the water level in the container goes down, the micro switch deactivates the unit until the flush is activated again. A normal operating cycle for SaniPlus takes about 10 to 15 seconds depending upon the discharge pipe run configuration; power consumption is therefore minimal. In addition to the toilet waste, the SaniPlus will also discharge gray water from a variety of other.
