Secondly, instead of flushing waste through drainage in the floor, a macerating toilet system uses a centrifugal pump to flush the waste out of the toilet and into the general waste system.
Each has its own separate function that works together to help flush waste away from your home. When the toilet is flushed, the waste urine, faeces, toilet paper is funnelled from the toilet bowl and into a blade. When the waste hits the blade, it will be macerated into smaller pieces.
This allows the waste to be flushed into the general waste system with ease. After the waste has been macerated by the blade, it will then go on to gather in the tank also known as a soil stack. Over time the waste will accumulate in the tank, slowly raising the float switch.
When the waste reaches a certain level, the float switch will detect pressure from the water and will operate the microswitch. The microswitch then activates the impeller. The impeller is what powers the pump, shifting the waste into the discharge pipe and out of the toilet. Finally, now the impeller is activated, the waste is pumped out of the macerating system and into the local drainage system. In the majority of situations, a conventional toilet system works out as a far more practical and cheaper option than a saniflo toilet system.
But sometimes, a saniflo is an easier, cheaper and less time-consuming toilet to install. These situations include:. If you have no existing underground drainage lines, then a macerator toilet will be far cheaper to install than a regular toilet. Removing the need to rip up flooring or foundations, a macerating toilet can be installed without any sort of drainage line. If installing a bathroom quickly is important, then a macerating toilet is the better option.

When the flush is activated in a standard toilet, the waste is sent into the general waste system using gravity. Simply, the toilet piping goes directly down into the sewers. When a toilet is located below, or a good distance from the general waste piping, it may be necessary to upflush the waste. Simply, the toilet piping does not go directly down into the sewers and instead needs to travel up or horizontally before reaching the general waste line. In this case, it would be appropriate to install a macerator toilet to ensure the toilet flushes efficiently and waste pipes do not become blocked.
If you are environmentally conscious, then you will be happy to know that macerator pumps are far more efficient than a standard toilet. First, shredding the waste ensures that you get a smooth flush to the general waste line. Second, using an impeller to accelerate the waste to the sewer uses far less water than a standard toilet. Macerator toilets feature a macerator that is built into the toilet pan. They look almost exactly like traditional toilets , minus the cistern.
The toilet pan is rinsed by pressurised water controlled by a solenoid valve. These toilets use around 2 to 3 litres of water for a small flush and 3 to 5 litres for larger flushes.
Macerator pumps can be installed behind the toilet pan or in a different location as needed. They can be used with both close-coupled and wall-hung toilets. Macerator pumps can include up to 4 inlets allowing you to connect them to a shower, bathroom sink or even a washing machine.
Macerator pumps start up automatically when the flush is pulled. The main advantage of macerating toilets is that they do not require a traditional waste pipe typically measuring mm in diameter like standard toilets.
Consequently, these sanitary units offer an alternative solution not just for domestic use in basements, attics, bedrooms, etc. Macerator toilets also come with a range of disadvantages.
Firstly, they require the use of an electric motor which will not work during a power cut. If you frequently experience lengthy power cuts, this will prove a problem. Secondly, the noise level produced by the unit can be problematic in busy bathrooms. Manufacturers have gone to great effort in recent years on this front and some macerator toilets now feature quieter mechanisms.
