The discharge pipe work can be made from
material. Copper (Type M), CPVC or PVC. Use long turn bends
and not elbows, elbows are not normally available in plastic
piping, use two 45° pieces back to back to make a 90° elbow.
The connection to the soil-stack or sewer pipe should be made
with an approved wye fitting.When in doubt about this procedure
please have a plumbing contractor install this for you.
2.7 - SEWER PIPE (COPPER, CAST IRON, PVC, ABS)
1.Install an appropriate wye fitting into the sewer pipe, (with
1 / " branch hub).

3. Screw male adapter, ((MPT x Hub)
the bushing, when discharge piping is in copper buy brass
adapter, when in CPVC buy CPVC adapter.
a. When in copper; solder a length of pipe to the male adapter
first, allow to cool then screw assembly into female bushing into
the branch socket. When soldering pipe systems together, wind
a wet rag around the plastic to keep it cool. Maintain at least a
distance of 6" between the plastic and the piece soldered. Use
Teflon tape or 100% Teflon dope on male thread. Any other
dope product will deteriorate plastic material.
b. When using CPVC material, use CPVC glue to glue the
CPVC pipe into the ABS fitting. Caution: Do not use ABS glue
on CPVC materials, as the plastic will not bond.
2.8 - CONNECTION TO ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
All wiring should be in accordance with the applicable
electrical code in your territory. The macerating system
requires a single-phase 120-volt, 15 Amp. supply. When
installed in a bathroom, the receptacle should be 40 inches
away (in a straight line) from a shower or bathtub. Connect
only to receptacle protected by a ground fault circuit
interrupter.
Warning: risk of electric shock - this pump is suplied with a
grounding conductor and grounding type attachment plug to
reduce the risk of electrical shock. Be certain that it is
connected only to a properly grounded - type receptacle.
2.9 - CONNECTION TO A VENT SYSTEM
Saniplus : See page 3 drawing 7c
Sanibest : See page 6 drawing 7c
The macerating unit must be vented. There are two ways
to vent the unit. It has 2 inlets on the top of the cover:
a 1 / '' cap and a hole of smaller diameter.

Europe : the cap should be closed (the plug is supplied) and
the hole should be open.
North America : the unit must be connected to a vent system
according to the plumbing codes. Put the waste inlet
(provided) on the cap and clamp it down.Then, connect the
vent pipe. Note that all fixtures connected to the system must
also be vented.
Warning: Do not use an air admittance valve or a mechanical
spring-loaded venting device, as these devices are one-way
valves. The air pressure in and outside the macerating unit must
be equal, a "cheater" vent will obstruct the airflow one direction.
NB : For installation in North America, the small diameter hole
must be plugged with a plastic cap supplied (i).
2.10 - ACTIVATING THE UNIT
1. Ensure that the toilet is free of building debris prior to
activating.
2. Open the shut-off valve and let the tank fill up.
3. Ensure power supply is on.
4. Flush several times with intervals in between depositing a
few sheets of toilet paper into the bowl to check discharge
piping. Usually, there should be no paper remaining in the
bowl after each flush.

USAGE
The normal domain of application of SFA macerating units only
concerns the disposal of human waste, toilet paper and water.
SANIPLUS is designed for family use only and cannot accept
without damage the disposal of sanitary items such as
condoms, tampons, sanitary pads and cotton swabs.
SANIBEST is a product conceived for heavier use, suitable for
light commercial applications, and can occasionally accept
disposal of sanitary items such as condoms, tampons and
sanitary pads.
CAUTIONARY NOTES:
Do not discharge any acids, alkaloids, solvents painting,
paint strippers, food waste, plastic bags, metal such as
nails, hairpins, wood, building materials, kitty litter or
anything that could halt or damage or corrode the unit.
Disregarding the above might damage the macerating unit
and shall void your warranty.
Do not hang bleach blocks or hydrochloride cleaners in
the toilet tank. These solutions have been shown to
deteriorate the plastic and neoprene components of the
flush and fill valves, and may cause leaks. In the event of
a power loss do not use the toilet or any other sanitary
fixture connected to the macerating unit since it will not
work until the power is restored.
The toilet works as a conventional flushing toilet and needs no
maintenance in normal use. However, there is nothing wrong with
cleaning out the macerating unit once a year. Do not use bleach
(Be careful not to let water enter the electrical cord opening).
The macerating unit starts automatically once the toilet is
flushed or the bath, shower, hand basin, etc. discharge and
cease operation once the contents have been pumped away.
Whenever the unit is not to be used for long periods of time
(vacation, power failure, maintenance, etc.) turn off the water
supply to the tank and flush the unit to evacuate the water. No
leakage into the bowl should ever be permitted from the tank.
In areas, which are prone to freezing, the total system must be
properly winterized.This includes the draining of all pipes, the
toilet tank and bowl and the macerating tank. The macerating
system is simple to winterize. Pour a jug of plumbers'
anti-freeze into the tank and flush the toilet. This will cause the
macerating unit to activate and all remaining water will be
replaced by plumber's anti-freeze. No parts or labour are
warranted when a breakdown occurs due to freezing.
Ensure that there are no faucets left open. Drops will
eventually fill up the pump and the resultant repeated
start-stop of the motor may heat up to such an extent, that
the thermal overload switch may eventually operate and
automatically stop the motor, thus possibly causing a flood.

PROBLEM SOLVING
4.1 - CHECKUP
The macerating unit is very reliable. With normal use long
service is assured. However, in certain cases an incident may
occur which you may rectify yourself. Before taking any action
check the following points:
1. Plumbing system. Flush system, water supply turned on.
2. Electrical system. G.F.C.I. breaker on. Receptacle on. Fuse
okay. Breaker on. Male plug still in receptacle. Check that
the thermal overload has not operated; (wait approximately
20 minutes for unit to reactivate).
3. Hydraulic system. Check that the discharge pipe and
breather opening (vent pipe) are not blocked.
If the macerating unit turns on intermittently without the flush
having been activated or water having been discharged, check
that water out of the toilet tank is not leaking into the bowl. Or,
that there is no leakage back into the macerating unit due to
incorrect seating of the check valve and/or that the discharge
elbow is seated properly.
