Whole Of House Solution - Bathroom

Objective: Replace an inadequate and failing lifting station with a stable and powerful pump. 

Challenge: The site requires 12m of vertical pumping. 

Solution: Sanicubic 1GR

The site’s steep location meant that all wastewater from the property needed to be pumped 12m upwards to the street sewerage mains. The pump would need to service all the plumbing fixtures at the property; 3 bathrooms, a kitchen, dishwasher and laundry, spread across 2 storeys. As a result, the solution needed to handle both high-lift and high-usage. The Sanicubic 1 GR was specified for the site due to impressive 20m vertical lifting capacity and its ability to handle high water volumes. The total 20 metres was required as the discharge line had multiple changes in direction. The Sanicubic 1 GR features a compact design with a powerful 2200w motor, as well as an external audio-visual alarm and a smart controller.
