CONNECTION OF SANITARY
IX
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 used to
connect the drainpipe of other sanitary fixtures to
the unit.
Use the pvrovided 2" x 2" coupling (E) when
connecting a shower/bathtub or the 1-1/2" x 2"
coupling (F) when connecting a sink. Secure these
connections with clamps (G, B) once they are
installed.
Note : In case one of the inlets is not used by a
fixture, you will need to block off this inlet with the
plugs provided (D).
Any standard shower stall or bathtub may be used
as only the drainpipe connects to the system. Note
that when installing either one of these fixtures, a
platform would need to be built in order to raise the
shower or bathtub.
It is required that when connecting a shower
or bathtub to the unit, the base of the shower
tray or bathtub, be raised by at least 6" from
the floor. A platform can be build out of 2" x
6" lumber on which the tub or shower tray
would be placed.
Note : The actual distance between the p-trap
of the additional fixture and the unit determines
the necessary clearance to install the p-trap and
elevation required to ensure a minimum gravity
flow of 1/4-inch per foot.
Therefore, the further the pump is away from the
connecting fixture, the higher the platform would
need to be raised considering the gravity fall
required.
CONNECTION TO THE
X
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
All wiring should be in accordance with the
applicable electrical code in your territory.
The system requires a single-phase 120-volt, 15
amp. supply. When installed in a bathroom, the
receptacle should be 40 inches away (in a straight
line) from a shower or bathtub. Connect only to
a 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 only
to a properly grounded - type receptacle.
ACTIVATING THE UNIT/USAGE
XI
Run the water from the bathroom or from kitchen
appliance connected to the pump and check that
connections are water tight and that the pump starts
and stops correctly.
The pump starts automatically as soon as the bath,
the shower or the sink begins to drain. It shuts down
when all the water has been drained.
Note that the pump will work intermittently as the
pump will turn on and off for several cycles until it
discharges all the water.
The normal domain of application of SFA pumping
units only concerns the disposal of gray water.
Warning : 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.
In the event of a power loss do not use any other
sanitary fixture connected to the macerating unit
since it will not work until the power is restored.
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 waste drains into
the pump from a bath, shower, hand basin, etc.
In areas, which are prone to freezing, the total
system must be properly winterized. This includes
the draining of all pipes and the drain pump.
The system is simple to winterize. Pour a jug of
plumber's anti-freeze into the pump case or into
a connecting fixture. This will cause the unit to
activate and all remaining water will be replaced by
plumber's anti-freeze.
No parts or labor are warranted when a breakdown
occurs due to freezing.
Ensure that there are no faucets left open. Drops will
eventually fill up the pump and as a result, the motor
will activate repeatedly.
ACCESS TO MAIN
XII
COMPONENTS
(For qualified personnel only)
The unit is very reliable and with normal use, it is
assured to provide service for several hundred
thousand cycles. However, there may be instances
when some little intervention may be required.
Warning : Before attempting any work, please
make sure to unplug the unit from the power
supply.

1. If a foreign object falls inside the unit and gets
clogged in the impeller system, please pry open the
top of the case and remove the foreign object. For
further information, call our technical support line.
2. If the capacitor, microswitch or membrane needs to
be replaced, please contact our technical support line
for further instructions.
Warning : Before attempting any work, please
make sure to unplug the unit from the power
supply.
These three components are considered to be part
of the pressure sensing section of the pump. In case
of questions on how to replace these, please call
the technical support number listed on the cover of
this manual.
RETURN AND REPAIR OF
XIII
THE UNIT
In the event that the unit needs to be returned for
service, please call for possible options, or to inquire
about an authorized repair shop in your area. When
you are required to return the unit to the manufacturer
or repair shop, please ensure that prior to shipping,
the unit has been cleaned and disinfected inside
and outside. Soiled pumps present a health hazzard
to all persons handling them, therefore, soiled
pumps will be accepted solely at the discretion of the
receiver. A labor charge may be in effect for cleaning.
Please package the unit properly with adequate shock
absorbent material around it. If any repairs are done
outside the warranty period, or when the user has
damaged the unit, you will be apprised of repair costs.
MAINTENANCE
XIV
(For qualified personnel only)
1. If the unit needs to be opened or if the motor
needs to be removed, please pry open the lid for
easy access. There will be a gasket in between the
lid and the casing which prevents any leakage in the
unit.
2. Note that the motor is filled with dielectric oil. Do
not remove it or replace with regular oil. Please note
that the distributor purposely does not keep seals,
bearings or oil in stock. If the cap which holds the oil
in place is removed, warranty is voided automatically.
3. When closing the lid, make sure to grease or
lubricate the lid seal with soapy water or dish soap.
The lid seal must be installed on the pump case prior
to installing the lid. Once you have the lid almost in
place, work yourself around the lid tapping down on
the lid with a rubber mallet or block
.
