However, if it’s further away, one option is to add a new soil and vent stack either inside or outside your home, which works as long as there’s a sewer that it can flow into. Macerators can move waste to your soil stack either vertically (a few metres) or horizontally (several metres).

Do you need planning permission for a Saniflo?

Planning permission isn’t needed, but when you fit your Saniflo or other macerator system it will have to conform to Building Regulations. The system also has a powerful pump which enables you to pump waste into the main drains. The pump could be s far as 50 metres away from the toilet.

Unless you’re using a SaniCOMPACT, which doesn’t require venting, you’ll need to vent the macerator pump into your home’s vent system. This tends to be the biggest surprise with a Saniflo installation, but keep in mind that you can vent the toilet anywhere.

Can you put toilet paper in a macerator?

Can you connect a bath to a macerator?

For use with a bath or shower, there must be a sufficient slope from the bottom of the shower tray or bath outlet to the macerator. This gradient must be 1cm per metre or greater. Failure to install the appliance with the correct gradient will prevent waste from being discharged.

Are Saniflo systems a good idea?

Saniflo toilets are installable almost anywhere in the home, regardless of what your drainage system or plumbing setup happens to be. Because it is an upflush system, these toilets are an excellent addition to a basement bathroom where upward movement of waste is necessary.

Where does the waste from a macerator toilet go?

Waste goes to the Saniflo or WasteAway unit when the toilet is flushed, instead of directly to an outflow pipe. The macerator technology then kicks into action.
