Hey y'all!
My basement could really use a 1/2 bath. A toilet and a sink, that is. There is no provision in the slab for a regular waste drain. So I'm considering the "Saniflo" macerating toilet.
I guess it uses a pump with a chopping mechanism that will grind "stuff" down small enough to be piped out in 1.25" PVC. Can pump as high as 9 feet vertical, and 100 feet horizontal (with a slight gravity angle). This sounds ideal to me...I can just run the PVC straight up to the basement ceiling, and then over to the soil stack and TY it in.
Anyone hear of these? Anyone install or use one?
The basic model "Sanicompact" is about $700 online with free shipping.
Thanks!
