How Do Saniflo Up Flush Toilets Work?

Adding a new toilet to any room in your home can seem like an impossible feat. Not only is it necessary to break floors and install complex plumbing, but you’ll also have to find a way to connect your new bathroom plumbing to your current main drainpipe, which may be too far away.

While you may think that adding a new bathroom to a tricky space will never happen, there’s an easy and affordable way to get around bathroom plumbing problems: Saniflo. Saniflo products are innovative, inexpensive, and guaranteed to make installing any toilet system a snap. Saniflo has been manufacturing upflush toilets for many years and is a subsidiary of French multinational company that was formed in the 1950’s

The Saniflo toilet system is unlike any other bathroom pumping system on the market. Instead of attempting to attach new plumbing to a main drainpipe that could be more than 100 feet away, Saniflo’s macerator does all of this work for you. How? Not only can Saniflo’s macerator send waste up to 150 feet away, but it can also send waste up towards any main drainpipe – up to 18 feet—thanks to Saniflo’s unique up flush toilet. No other water pumping system can do these things, which is why Saniflo is quickly becoming the most popular choice around the globe.

Of course, installing a Saniflo system is just one part of creating a functional, long-lasting bathroom—once your toilet is up and running, maintaining what happens after the flush is just as important. Whether you’re using a traditional system or a macerating toilet like Saniflo, proper care of your septic setup is essential to avoid future issues. That’s where regular septic tank maintenance comes in.

Over time, waste buildup and sludge accumulation can reduce the efficiency of your system and lead to unpleasant backups or even costly repairs. To keep everything flowing smoothly, scheduling routine cleaning and pumping of your septic tank is a smart move that protects both your investment and your household’s health. Professional services ensure your system remains in optimal condition and help prevent blockages that could interfere with newer plumbing additions. Just like Saniflo takes the guesswork out of installation, working with a reliable septic expert ensures you don’t have to worry about what happens below the surface.

How does Saniflo work? The process is really simple. First, when waste is flushed a patented macerating device inside of the tank activates. Within a matter of four seconds, the waste inside of the tank is completely pulverized. Then, the waste is pumped into a septic or soil stack up to 150 feet away. When the process has been completed, the macerating device inside of the tank is deactivated. As soon as the toilet is refilled with water, the tank is clean and empty.

The best part about Saniflo is that you don’t need major construction in order to install this unit – in fact, you can install it on your own in most cases. Since waste is flushed through a pipe that measures a mere one inch in diameter, there’s no need for serious construction. Customers who purchase a Saniflo pumping system do so in order to add en-suite bathrooms, basement toilets, garage installations, toilets for elderly family members, and many other practical toilets that could not be added through conventional methods.

No matter where you need a toilet, you can add one with the help of Saniflo toilet systems. Even if you’ve been told that you can’t add a toilet to your home due to the fact that your main drainpipe is too far away for a normal toilet system, you can bet that Saniflo will work. Thanks to this innovative product, no new toilet addition is impossible.

You’ll also be happy to note that our macerating pumps, gray water pumps, and toilet systems are entirely environmentally friendly, since they use far less water than any regular system. Saniflo’s macerating systems last more than 50,000 flushes (10 flushes per day), and all Saniflo gray water pumps come with a 2 year warranty. When it comes to installing a toilet system that won’t break the bank or the floors in your home, nothing beats Saniflo.

Waiting for the catch? There isn’t one. Even the installation is relatively simple! Wondering how to install a Saniflo upflush toilet?
