How Do Saniflo Up Flush Toilets Work
Adding a new toilet to any room in your home can be an impossible feat. Not only is it necessary to break floors and install complex plumbing, but you’ll also have to find a way to connect your new bathroom plumbing to your current main drainpipe, which may be too far away.
While you may think that adding a new bathroom to a tricky space will never happen, there’s an easy and affordable way to get around bathroom plumbing problems: SANIFLO. SANIFLO products are innovative, inexpensive, and guaranteed to make installing any toilet system a snap. Saniflo has been manufacturing up flush toilets for many years and is a subsidiary of French multinational company that was formed in the 1950′s
The SANIFLO toilet system is unlike any other bathroom pumping system on the market. Instead of attempting to attach new plumbing to a main drainpipe that could be more than 100 feet away, SANIFLO’s macerator does all of this work for you. How? Not only can SANIFLO’s macerator send waste up to 150 feet away, but it can also send waste up towards any main drainpipe – up to 18 feet—thanks to SANIFLO’s unique upflush toilet. No other water pumping system can do these things, which is why SANIFLO is quickly becoming the most popular choice around the globe.
How does SANIFLO work? The process is really simple. First, when waste is flushed a patented macerating device inside of the tank activates. Within a matter of four seconds, the waste inside of the tank is completely pulverized. Then, the waste is pumped into a septic or soil stack up to 150 feet away. When the process has been completed, the macerating device inside of the tank is deactivated. As soon as the toilet is refilled with water, the tank is clean and empty.

The best part about SANIFLO is that you don’t need major construction in order to install this unit – in fact, you can install it on your own in most cases. Since waste is flushed through a pipe that measures a mere one inch in diameter, there’s no need for serious construction. Customers who purchase a SANIFLO pumping system do so in order to add en-suite bathrooms, basement toilets, garage installations, toilets for elderly family members, and many other practical toilets that could not be added through conventional methods.
No matter where you need a toilet, you can add one with the help of SANIFLO toilet systems. Even if you’ve been told that you can’t add a toilet to your home due to the fact that your main drainpipe is too far away for a normal toilet system, you can bet that SANIFLO will work. Thanks to this innovative product, no new toilet addition is impossible.
You’ll also be happy to note that our macerating pumps, gray water pumps, and toilet systems are entirely environmentally friendly, since they use far less water than any regular system. SANIFLO’s macerating systems last more than 50,000 flushes (10 flushes per day), and all SANIFLO gray water pumps come with a 2 year warranty. When it comes to installing a toilet system that won’t break the bank or the floors in your home, nothing beats SANIFLO.

Jul 25, 2010I am a independent engineer and I work on most makes of macerators, yes there are some copycat makes, and I would agree that the saniflo range of macerators are by far the best on the market, some of the other make even use plastic blades, to me thats ridiculouse, but as far as I know all the saniflo range use stainless steel blades, and the simplisity of construction makes them very unlikely to break down if you use them correctly
These Saniflo toilets are really fantastic. I recently installed one in a below ground level semi-basement toilet and it worked like a dream. They really are a good, and fairly low cost investment for the additional versatility they offer.
Thankis for a Great Post
What a brilliant concept! Kind of makes you think that every toilet should work this way, even if normal plumbing access is avaialble. It’s sanitary and pretty efficient.
The Saniflo brand are the best Macerators on the market, there are other brands but they are noisey, difficult to repair and are not as the same standard as a Saniflo Macerator. The Saniflo’s are easy to fix if they go wrong, providing they are installed correctly and have sufficient access.
I like this Saniflo Saniplus Toilet. Thanks for letting us know about this kind of toilet. I’m sure many readers will like this also.
I want to have a Saniflo Saniplus Toilet. looks interesting and entirely environmentally friendly.
What a clever idea! It is great to know that toilets can now be installed without much fuss about the plumbing. It is so easy to use that you can even do it yourself.
We have an older building where this would be perfect. We had to do a project at one of our panama city beach condos a few years ago. I wish I had this system. We practically had to rebuild the unit in order to get the bathroom in. Thanks for the info.
A nice choice of your toilet will also a big help to establish your bathroom. Most toilets are one of the major cause of problems in our bathroom.
We’re thinking of converting part of our garage into a utility and a small downstairs toilet. We’ve had 2 builders round to quote on the work and have been advised by both that we cannot have a toilet there as our drains are too deep. I asked about saniflo and was advised that this would also require a lot of work as the kitchen floor (kitchen is behind garage)would need taking up for the pipework to be fitted which would also mean more expense. I can’t get my head around this as my understanding was that you can fit saniflo easily anywhere. The builders came highly recommended and seemed to know what they were talking about but I’m completely baffled!!!!
I think this is a one of a kind toilet. People should choose this kind of high quality toilet for their bathroom.
