“If you have a basement bathroom where the sewage lines run above that height, you need one of these nifty things to make it work. I have used this product for a while now, and the previous one lasted 6 years before something went wrong with it. Lowes was one of the best prices for it and available for a quick pick up. This is fairly easy to install - comes with everything you need to connect to the toilet, and the additional inputs for sink & shower. This is not designed to drain out an entire bathtub (but most folks don't put a bathtub in the basement anyway).”
“We purchased this system 5 years ago when we were building an in-law area in our basement and I researched every possible unit I could and settled on the SANIPLUS Saniflo. It was easy to install (make sure you know what you are doing and read ALL directions) and it worked great.We had the unit hooked up to a kitchen sink, bathroom sink, bathroom shower and toilet. It worked like a charm, even though my MIL isn't exactly the easiest on things and may put things down her kitchen sink she isn't supposed to, but the system handled it all. It was in constant, every day use.After 5 years, we needed to replace just the macerator unit, so I checked online and every place sells them for about the same price, with the exception that plumbingsupplyandmore had a "Like New" model for $100 cheaper. We purchased it and everything was perfect. It came with all parts and all directions and all accessories for mounting it.We got the deal we needed to replace this at the perfect time.This is a workhorse of a unit and trust me, from someone who has had it for 5 years, it DOES WORK!”
“This is quieter than the one it replaces. I have no idea how old the one before was, at least 7 years old and same brand. The replacement was easy, as easy as dealing with sewage can be. I had to reuse fittings from the old unit since the ones it came with were not the right sizes, no big deal. So far so good, hopefully it lasts.”
