SANIFOS 110 UNDERGROUND PUMP PROVED THE PERFECT SOLUTION FOR THIS STONE PROPERTY

A beautiful stone property with stunning views and a brand-new  extension to increase the living space was the epitome of domestic bliss for the owners of this home. Except for one issue that potentially rendered the extension facilities unusable; the kind of issue Saniflo was designed to address.With no mains drainage servicing the original house, all waste is disposed of
via pipework to a large drain situated 20m from the property and discharged onwards to a septic tank at the bottom of the garden. However, when it came to the plumbing for the extension, there was simply not enough fall to allow the drainage pipes to reach the existing drain by gravity. With the need to discharge wastewater from a new bathroom with shower, two toilets and basins plus a kitchen and washing machine, a solution was needed, and quickly.
The installer called the experts from Saniflo to discuss a possible solution, following a meeting at their offices just two months earlier. Recalling the offer of a free site visit for exactly this sort of problem, the installer met a member of the Saniflo team at the property.

A survey was duly conducted and a solution proposed; one that wouldn’t be visible to the naked eye but could efficiently pump all waste from the new rooms to the mains drain.
The obvious solution proved to be a Sanifos 110 underground pump, which was subsequently specified by the installer and sourced from a local merchant. The unit is an automatic lifting station designed specifically for single dwellings to quietly pump waste away, up to 110m
horizontally. In this case, the requirement was for a much shorter run of just 20m. The Sanifos was buried close to the extension and connected to standard 4in waste pipes in the property for incoming waste, while pumping out of 40mm pipes to the mains drain. With 110L capacity, the Sanifos can accept waste from the multiple sources in the extension at once and is activated by a float within the unit.

The installer said, “Without the help of the team from Saniflo, this problem would have been far more difficult to solve. We found it very straightforward to install and connect the 110 and it
solved the drainage problem easily. I am very impressed with both the solution and the service from Saniflo"
