Saniflo has played a role in converting the historic Sula Lightship, a 1950s era working ship, into a high standard accommodation facility. This project demonstrates Saniflo’s ability to support non-traditional properties where reliable waste management solutions are essential.
Saniflo supplied a range of macerators and pumps to manage on-board black and grey water waste, including a Sanimarin WC, specifically designed for marine applications, and a long-standing Sanishower unit to discharge grey water waste into former freshwater tanks repurposed as storage.
These systems provided the necessary capacity and durability for high-usage scenarios on the vessel. The two Saniflo units in the owner’s living quarters were replaced during the conversion following the recommendation from the Saniflo agent, Pumpmaster, for long-term economic reasons as they were both over 10 years old and had heavy use.
The Sanimarin WC was specified for the new bathroom because it provided sufficient power to pump through a range of pipes in the chain room below right along to the tanks at the vessel’s stern. The shower was plumbed into the existing Sanishower unit, installed over 15 years ago and still working well.
