Compatibility - Macerating toilets can be connected to compatible showers, sinks, and other sanitary appliances, making them a convenient option. Additionally, the seamless integration of the macerator system with the home's existing plumbing system allows for flexible installation options, even in spaces where a conventional plumbing system would not suffice.
Easy Installation - Macerating toilet systems can be installed easily in a few hours without a plumber, helping you avoid a costly installation. The straightforward setup includes the toilet tank and other essential components, ensuring a hassle-free installation process.
Cost - Macerating toilets will save you money in the long run. They are easy to install and will cut costs on septic tank maintenance. Due to their improved use of water and power, macerating toilets have been shown to improve the resale value of a home by up to 20%.

Macerating Toilet FAQs
What does a macerating toilet do, again?
A macerating toilet converts human waste into a fine slurry, which can be pumped up into a soil stack, against gravity. This is ideal for anyone who wants to add a bathroom to a basement or other small space.
Can I install the toilet myself?
Yes, upflush toilets are very easy to install. You just need some simple tools and a few hours on the weekend.
Can I adjust the water consumption rate?
On some macerating toilets, water consumption rate can be adjusted. Simply adjust the fill valve to increase or decrease it to the rate of choice.
Is there a warranty on the macerating toilets?
Yes, although it depends on the unique toilet you buy. Be sure to check with the manufacturer to understand your specific warranty.
Can I hook other utilities to my toilet?
Yes. Some maceration toilets can also support a shower or sink, which makes them ideal for a full bathroom system. Look for pumps and macerators designed to support these things.
How do macerating toilets work?
Unlike a regular toilet that pushes the waste down the pipes (with the help of gravity), a macerating toilet “upflushes” or flushes up; hence, the alternative name upflush toilets. Macerating toilets are outfitted with a grinder and pump combination that pushes waste to a unit behind the toilet in a large container lodged either in the wall or just behind the tank. The blades in the grinder then turn on, pulverize the waste, and pump it out of the unit through a pipe.
How long do macerating toilets last?
Saniflo macerating toilets can last about 10 to 15 years, if not longer. With proper care and maintenance, they can continue working hard for a long time.
