Upper limb clinic

Objective: Create a purpose-built clinic with all the amenities.

Challenge: Plumbing solution required for a top floor, high rise with a strict strata title.

Solution: Sanispeed+, Saniaccess 3 and Sanicom 1

Securing a modern space on the top floor of a high rise with great exposure leading into the city is a dream for most. For a clinic and day surgery, this presents its own set of challenges. Creating a purpose-built clinic equipped with sterilising machines, washbasins, bathrooms and kitchenettes required multiple plumbing solutions. Dr Maguire did not anticipate plumbing to be a problem when he embarked on his new clinic fit-out. The problem became more distressing when the specialist medical fit-out company had advised that there was no access to conventional plumbing.

“The hydraulic consultant and engineer had advised there is no possible solution for this space. My wife had seen the application of SFA pump on a home renovation show and asked: “can we use Saniflo SFA?” I was very excited and relieved to hear that a solution like Saniflo SFA existed and would solve our biggest problem." - Dr Michael Maguire, Clinic Owner

To achieve the space needed, SFA Pumps recommended Sanispeed+ for the kitchenettes and wash basins in the consultant rooms, Sanicom 1 for the sterilisation room and Saniaccess 3 for the complete bathroom fit-out. The clinic required a total of 20 pumps, which has now been made possible with SFA Pumps. 

“The Sanispeed+ was the ideal pump for the consultation rooms, the dividing wall housed the pump for back to back installation of the washbasins. In the kitchenette, the installation of the Sanispeed+ was fundamental to handle the waste from the coffee machine, which operates at a higher temperature.” - SFA Pumps

Key Benefits of the Sanispeed+

• Allows the installation of a dishwasher, glasswasher, washing machine, kitchen sink, shower, vanity basin, bath and coffee station in areas without plumbing access.
• The smallest commercial greywater pump provides the perfect solution for a low to medium use commercial kitchen, coffee machine, clinic, office, café or bar.
• Ability to handle a higher temperature than other domestic pumps.
• Pumps 7m vertically, 70m horizontally, or lesser combinations or both.

The Saniaccess 3 creates new possibilities with its modern ingenuity. It can connect to a toilet, shower, and basin, allowing the installation of a complete bathroom anywhere. Its easy access design simplifies maintenance and serviceability making it an obvious choice. 

“Our previous tenancy was not equipped with a complete bathroom. It was really important for this new space to accommodate a full bathroom, so the staff can have a space to refresh after their bike ride or after their workout.” - Dr Michael Maguire, Clinic Owner

Key Benefit of the Saniaccess 3

• Macerator pump with the possibility to connect a WC, vanity basin and a shower.
• Provides easy access to the blades and electrical chamber for servicing.
• Pumps up to 5m vertically, 100m horizontally, or lesser combinations of both.

The Sanicom 1 was used for the installation of the sterilisation machines as it is resistant to a higher temperature and larger volumes of incoming water.

"I was so surprised by how quiet the units operate. You can barely hear them! I have no hesitations in recommending the Saniflo pumps and using them again. If we had not heard of Saniflo, this new clinic may have not been a reality." - Dr Michael Maguire, Clinic Owner

• Temperatures between 35c and 90c can be accepted for short periods.
• Pumps up to 8m vertically, 100m horizontally, or lesser combinations of both.
• Allows the installation of multiple sinks, coffee stations, commercial kitchens, dishwashers, glasswashers, washing machines bath and shower.
