The macerating process, step-by-step of the process:. The toilet is flushed and the effluent is discharged by gravity through the rear spigot of the fixture into the macerator device, positioned behind the fixture. As the water level rises, the water pressure activates a microswitch causing the macerator device to turn on.
The stainless steel blades, driven by a motor, then start to rotate at 3, revolutions per minute, grinding all the effluent into tiny particles. Once the effluent is completely reduced, the microswitch deactivates and the maceration process ends. A non-return valve in the unit prevents back-flow of the reduced effluent into the unit. The toilet then refills with water. Note: While macerator systems can handle drainage from multiple fixtures, the toilet flush is given priority in the event of simultaneous discharging until the toilet effluent is sufficiently reduced to deactivate the microswitch.
Saniflo offers a wide range of macerating, grinding pump systems, and lift stations, as well as drain and condensate pumps.

After having installed loft isolation, and having refurbished the bathroom, the toilets, the kitchen, the bedrooms… I built an extension, installed a new fence with a gate and kitted out the house with a solar panel to make hot water.
I have poured tens of tonnes of concrete into slabs or into the foundations and renovated the roof… I can say that building materials and tools are no stranger to me!
If I had a pound for every hour spent looking up information in forums and DIY magazines to find solutions to my problems, I'd be a millionaire! So passing on my knowledge on tools and home equipment is natural, as it is just giving back what I borrowed. Loads more than in a shop, and without needing to navigate all the aisles.
