SFA SANIBEST Pro Instructions D'installation Et D'entretien page 5

about this section of the installation, please have a plumber
or trade professional install this for you.
Note: If the end of the discharge pipe is lower than the
base of the pump, siphonage can occur. In order to avoid
siphoning on the discharge line, an anti-siphon valve should
be installed at the highest point of the installation.

CONNECTION OF SANITARY FIXTURES
The unit is equipped with two additional 2" inlets, one on
either side of the case. These inlets, which incorporate an
internal check valve, are use to connect the drain pipe from
other sanitary fixtures.
1 - To connect to the side inlets, use the rubber connector
or and secure with clamps.
F C
2 - If these inlets are not used, plug the unused inlet with
the plug G provided after greasing the joint.
WARNING: Ensure that when connecting a shower or a
bathtub to a SANIBEST Pro
or tub would need to be raised a minimum of 8" from the
floor. You may purchase any shower base or tub, as only
the drain pipe connects to the pump. However, a 2" x 8"
platform would need to be built as this would give enough
space for a p-trap and slope toward the side inlets.
NOTE: The actual distance between the p-trap of the sani-
tary fixture and the macerating unit determines the neces-
sary clearance to install the trap and the elevation required
to ensure the minimum gravity flow of 1/4" per foot.
7d
CONNECTION TO A VENT SYSTEM
The grinder/pump unit must be vented. It has two inlets on
the top of the cover: a 1 1/2" port and a hole of smaller dia-
meter.
The unit must be connected to a vent system according to
the plumbing codes. Place the waste inlet
the 1 1/2" port and clamp it down. Then,
connect the vent pipe and secure with a clamp. Note that all
fixtures connected to the system must also be vented.
WARNING: Do not use an air admittance valve or a
mechanical spring loaded venting device as these devices
are considered one-way valves. The air pressure inside
and outside the macerating unit must be equal.
A "cheater" vent will obstruct the airflow in one direction.
Note: The smaller diameter 1/2" hole must be plugged with
a plastic cap supplied.

CONNECTION TO ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
All wiring should be in accordance with the applicable
electrical code in your territory. The macerating system
requires a single-phase 120-volt, 15 Amp. supply. When
installed in a bathroom, the receptacle should be 40 inches
away (in straight line) from a shower or bathtub. Connect
only to receptacle protected by a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI).
WARNING: risk of electric shock - this pump is suplied with
a grounding conductor and grounding type attachment plug
to reduce the risk of electrical shock. Be certain that it is
connected properly grounded - type receptacle.

ACTIVATING THE UNIT
Once electrical and plumbing connections have been
made, flush the toilet once. The motor should run from
5 to 10 seconds to clear the waste (depending on the
length and height of the pipe run). If it runs for more than
30 seconds, check that the discharge pipe is not kinked
or blocked or check that the non-return valve is correctly
installed.
Flush the toilet checking that all seals, and connections
are watertight. Check both the discharge pipework from
the unit, and the waste pipes from sink or shower.

WARNING: There should be no dripping of water from
the toilet tank or taps. If there is, this will cause the unit
to activate repeatedly as it pumps the water away.

USAGE
The normal domain of application of SFA units only
concerns the disposal of human waste, toilet paper and
water. The SANIBEST Pro
heavier use, suitable for residential or commercial
applications, and can occasionally accept disposal of
sanitary items such as tampons and sanitary pads.
CAUTIONARY NOTES:
Do not discharge any acids, alkaloids, solvents painting,
paint strippers, food waste, plastic bags, metal such as
nails, hairpins, wood, building materials, kitty litter or
anything that could halt or damage or corrode the unit.
Disregarding the above might damage the unit and shall
void your warranty.
Do not hang bleach blocks or hydrochloride cleaners in
the toilet tank. These solutions have been shown to
deteriorate the plastic and neoprene components of the
flush and fill valves, and may cause leaks. In the event of
a power loss do not use the toilet or any other sanitary
fixture connected to the unit since it will not work until
the power is restored.
The toilet works as a conventional flushing toilet and needs
no maintenance in normal use. However, there is nothing
wrong with cleaning out the unit once a year. Do not use
bleach (Be careful not to let water enter the electrical cord
opening).
The unit starts automatically once the toilet is flushed or the
bath, shower, hand basin, etc. discharge and cease opera-
tion once the contents have been pumped away.
Whenever the unit is not in use for long periods of time
(vacation, power failure, maintenance, etc.) turn off the water
supply to the tank and flush the unit to evacuate the water.
No leakage into the bowl should ever be permitted from the
tank.
In areas, which are prone to freezing, the total system must
be properly winterized.This includes the draining of all pipes,
the toilet tank and bowl and the tank. The system is simple
to winterize. Pour a jug of plumbers' anti-freeze into the tank
and flush the toilet. This will cause the unit to activate and
all remaining water will be replaced by plumber's anti-freeze.
No parts or labour are warranted when a breakdown occurs
due to freezing.
Ensure that there are no faucets left open. Drops will even-
tually fill up the pump and the resultant repeated start-stop
of the motor may heat up to such an extent, that the thermal
overload switch may eventually operate and automatically
stop the motor, thus possibly causing a flood.

CARE OF YOUR SANIBEST Pro
In order to remove scale and clean the macerator and the
bowl, use Saniflo's descaler.
• Disconnect the power,
• Pour an amount of descalent in the bowl
• Leave it to stand for 1 or 2 hours,
• Re-connect the power,
• Rinse by operating the flushing system twice.
Carry out the operation once every 3 months on average,
but the frequency may need to be changed depending on
the hardness of the water.
