Fitting an Under Sink Macerator Pump

[jaydebruyne]

I've a job on my list tomorrow to fit an under sink macerator pump. I'm assuming something like this:

InSinkErator ISE45 Waste Disposer

I've never fitted one, are they easy to install? Any tips would be grand...

Cheers

Waste disposal or cos there's no decent waste to get too..?

Probably a saniflo
Product details for SANIVITE
Used where you cannot get a fall all the way to the soil stack so it can be pumped up and over. Rpm has some good advice on fitting these

If it is a sani flo variant. Then yes very easy to fit. Nasty to fix but a dream to fit. lol

Isn't that just a pump to pump out waste water from a few appliances? The one I'm fitting is a macerator

Ahhhh ok. Cheers. It doesn't macerate though, does it? As the one I'm fitting is a macerator

Confused people do call the vite a macerator so could be a sani or an ise 45.

I think a lot of people refer to all sani products as macerators.

If you find the installation is close to the pumps limits with a vite then look at the speed. Much stronger motor but louder for the extra 2m head gained.

That they do Ray, that they do.

If it is the sani then give the customer the warranty card to post off and keep the Blue book for yourself as it may come in useful one day.
