For 3/4" CPVC (22 mm)
4 - Insert the discharge pipe inside the flexible hose and
secure with a clamp.
For 3/4" PVC (28 mm)
4 - Insert the smaller end of the plastic coupling inside the
flexible hose ; secure with clamp.
5 - Connect the step-down rubber connection to the other
end of the plastic coupling; secure with a clamp.
6 - Insert the discharge pipe inside the step-down rubber
connection and secure with clamp.
For 1" PVC (32 mm)
4 - Insert the smaller end of the plastic coupling inside the
flexible hose; secure with clamp.
5 - Connect the step-down rubber connection to the other
end of the plastic coupling; secure with a clamp.
6 - Cut off the end of the step-down rubber connection to fit
the 1" pipe; secure with clamp.
NOTE:
Use only 3/4" or 1" pipe for the discharge.
Install a ball valve in the discharge line in order to facilitate the
removal of the unit.
If you want for the unit to pump vertically and horizontally,
you may calculate that 3 Ft of vertical lift is equivalent to 30
Ft of horizontal run. Note that all horizontal runs require a 1/4"
per foot gravity fall.
Each bend or change in direction causes minor losses which
must be deducted from the discharge performance (ie.
reduce discharge height by 3 Ft for each 90 degree turn). Use
long sweeping 90 degree elbows or two 45 degree elbows
back-to-back to create the 90 degree turn. Do not use 90
degree elbows.
The connection to the soil stack or sewer pipe should be
made with an approved wye fitting. If you have any doubts
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.

C
2 - If these inlets are not used, plug the unused inlet with
the plug
provided after greasing the joint.

WARNING:
Ensure that when connecting a shower or a
bathtub to a SANIGRIND 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
sanitary fixture and the macerating unit determines the
necessary 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 connector
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
, the platform of the shower
®
(provided) on
J
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 supplied
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 SANIGRIND 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
