Saniflo toilets How does it work and how much space do you need?
Saniflo toilets function basically the same way a "normal" toilet works - you flush, but then the waste goes into a pump where it's macerated or grinded and then pumped up or over to your sewer line. These are great for basement bathrooms where you would normally have to either break the concrete or build a platform. Saniflo systems allow you to place the toilet right on the floor and you don't have to break concrete! As far as space goes, that depends on what type of bathroom you are planning - full bath with a shower/tub or a half bath with just a sink and a toilet. The pump itself doesn't take up any room as it sits behind the toilet, so if you have room for a toilet you have room for a Saniflo! www.SanifloStore.com
Why are toilet seats only 14-15 inches high?
They vary depending on manufacture. Compromise to fit as many people as possible. We are designed to go squating. To tall of a toilet would make it more difficult. Taller toilets are made to aid elderly and physically challenged people to use toilet.
How far can a basement toilet be from the main sewer line?
if you are fitting a maserator unit like Saniflo you can go horizontally up to 100 meters or vertically up to 4 meters but you must have a 1 in 200 gravity fall on the horizontal there is no certain distance it can be from the main. it all depends on the fall and how deep your sewer is, however it does matter how many bends your line has. It shouldn't exceed 135 degrees or 100' without a cleanout.
