SANIFLO Sanishower Drain Pump - Residential

I had heard of sani-flo and all the different products to solve problems with non-sloping drains are very tough to slope to a drain. In this case a slab issue caused the kitchen sink drain to become unusable. It was to go outside and dig and install a 2" pvc line and cut and break up the concrete driveway and then go about 60' to to the 4" line in the back yard. I decided it was less cost and quicker to purchase the SaniiFlo and install it. I ordered this from Amazon at a good price and a few days out. Very acceptable. It arrived and I started to install it.1. a nice small footprint for under the sink and I set flush to the left side.2. is to connect existing sink drain to the correct top outlet. this was the quickest and easiest part3. then I connected to the existing vent stack. (this is must or run a new vent stack.)(automatic vents not allowed)4. lastly I ran 1" PVC as the new drain line out the wall and up on the outside of the house and then into the attic. I ran maybe 35' to a 2" cast iron vent stack, drilled a hole and inserted the 1" pipe and then sealed with Dow silicone caulk,Plugged the unit and off to the races. Very quiet and quick pumping.I would recommend this as an option.Note: This unit was the smallest one I wanted to try but it was way under utilized as it can have had more fixtures dump into it and still work great. This one was for grey water only.

I installed it in the basement where I needed a utility sink and this Saniswift Pro pump was perfect. All the parts you need are included which is great. I spent more time getting tapped into my septic system just because of tight spaces but setting up the pump was a no-brainer. Working well and it is pretty quiet. You can hear it when it comes on, but it runs for less than 10 seconds.

It's a great product and I've used it many times.This time however the check valve and the connection couplings that normally come with the pump assembly were not in the package ❗

For me, I use this under a sink in my wet bar, I do not have floor drain lines, as, mine are located 3 feet off the floor. My Saniflo pumps the “waste Water” from the sink through 40’ of 3/4” PVC pipe.It works excellent. This is my third unit in the past 6 years.What I have learned from past experiences and why I’ve been through 3 of them, is, this pump is NOT a grinder pump, don’t expect it to chew up food, it’s not a garbage disposal.2nd, since it does not just flow downward to a gravity drain like the rest of your home, it actually needs to PUMP the fluid, so don’t keep pouring sugary type drinks into it(like soda) or other, even beer and alcohol WITHOUT running water with it.If you do, the sugar base will foul the internal float and prevent it from turning on and the fluids will back up in your sink.YOU MUST RUN WATER WHEN POURING ANYTHING IN THE DRAIN OTHER THAN WATER ITSELF.Trust me, I’ve replaced 2 of these already.If you watch what goes into it, your good to go.I do now.I have no issues with cold water.I have no issues with hot water.I have no issues with the “Pumping” noise it makes.The Saniflo works great.Buy it, you won’t be disappointed.

We ordered this in late 2022, but ended up not being able to install it until over a year later because our basement took longer to finish than planned. So, it was in our basement bar area for one year, used only a handful of times for just rinsing glasses out, and it quit working. Called the manufacturer because it was within the warranty period, but was told because I didn't submit warranty info when I purchased it (even though I have proof of purchase and a receipt) they cannot honor the warranty. So, we are out $300 for a pump that was barely used. Would not recommend.

We added a full bathroom to our basement because our kids play sports and have sleepovers almost every weekend. We wanted the convenience of keeping everything downstairs including muddy athletes walking into the basement and showering before entering the main part of the house.While we could have the shower and sink lines to the Saniflo macerater we use for the toilet we decided to purchase the grey water pump for the shower and the sink for 2 reasons:1) It would make the piping easier to connect to another pump in our configuration.2) The Grey Water pump is super quiet and we wouldn't have to hear the larger pump run more frequently.It's been well over 2 years and both Saniflo pumps have worked great without any issues. Very happy with the added convenience of a full bath in the basement and the Saniflo product line.*The only maintenance I do is to run the descaler through the pumps every 6 months. That is a very simple process that takes little time.

I was not aware of this technology- what a great solution. Hopefully it holds up over time.

This product is exactly what I needed and works perfectly
