Install a bathroom or kitchen anywhere with Saniflo

To create accommodation for the families of hospital patients, enabling them to be close to their loved ones, Jeffrey Collins, Manging Director of MediStay, needed to convert an empty office space. But the space was in a multistorey building with tenants on the floor below and no access to traditional gravity plumbing. Drilling core holes was not an option.

But, using Saniflo’s innovative plumbing solutions, Jeffrey was able to create six high-quality studio apartments, each with its own ensuite and kitchenette. The Sanipack macerator pump was the ideal solution for this project because the pump needed to be located away from the toilet. It has inlets for grey water fixtures that enabled installation of the basin, shower and kitchenette sink required for comfortable self-sufficient accommodation.

With a depth of only 146 mm, the Sanipack fits easily inside a small wall cavity. It can pump 5 m vertically, 100 m horizontally, or lesser combinations of both. It can also be fitted with a SaniAlarm to help protect against flooding and add peace of mind.

“We have people staying between two days to one week and they love the convenience.”

If an architect hasn’t worked with macerator or grey water pumps previously, Saniflo will work with them to review plans, assist with design layouts, and recommend pumps and locations, to achieve the desired outcome for their project.
