Equipment from Saniflo has helped a domestic property in Alton, Staffordshire that sits in an elevated position with driveway and compact stone garage beneath the level of the house.
The laundry room is in the garage, which presented a common but problematic drainage issue: no direct access to the drainage system.
Waste water needed to be pumped upwards to the existing soil stack. After a flood caused by an incorrectly specified macerator pump, homeowner Ed Shenton sought a purpose-built solution and turned to Saniflo’s Sanivite+ – a pump designed specifically to handle hot, soapy grey water from domestic appliances.
“The previous unit simply wasn’t designed for washing machine discharge,” says Ed Shenton. “The Sanivite+ has been completely reliable since installation. It runs quietly and efficiently, and I was able to fit it myself with minimal changes to the existing pipework.”
