SANIFLO 021 SANISWIFT

I installed it in the basement where I needed a utility sink and this Saniswift Pro pump was perfect. All the parts you need are included which is great. I spent more time getting tapped into my septic system just because of tight spaces but setting up the pump was a no-brainer. Working well and it is pretty quiet. You can hear it when it comes on, but it runs for less than 10 seconds.

Unfortunately there are no ZERO stars because this is what this pump deserves. Has been in use for 1 year and 2 months with MINIMAL use. Pump is making noise but is not pumping. The mess left behind while disconnecting is HUGE. Steer away. Lots of cheaper pumps available, and you know what, if things go wrong at least I do not regret it BECAUSE I bought a cheaper pump. GARABAGE.

For me, I use this under a sink in my wet bar, I do not have floor drain lines, as, mine are located 3 feet off the floor. My Saniflo pumps the “waste Water” from the sink through 40’ of 3/4” PVC pipe. It works excellent. This is my third unit in the past 6 years. What I have learned from past experiences and why I’ve been through 3 of them, is, this pump is NOT a grinder pump, don’t expect it to chew up food, it’s not a garbage disposal. 2nd, since it does not just flow downward to a gravity drain like the rest of your home, it actually needs to PUMP the fluid, so don’t keep pouring sugary type drinks into it(like soda) or other, even beer and alcohol WITHOUT running water with it. If you do, the sugar base will foul the internal float and prevent it from turning on and the fluids will back up in your sink. YOU MUST RUN WATER WHEN POURING ANYTHING IN THE DRAIN OTHER THAN WATER ITSELF. Trust me, I’ve replaced 2 of these already. If you watch what goes into it, your good to go. I do now. I have no issues with cold water. I have no issues with hot water. I have no issues with the “Pumping” noise it makes. The Saniflo works great. Buy it, you won’t be disappointed.

Bought this pump to use for a shower and it keeps up with no issues. It does operate a little louder than expected but this could easily be remedied by isolating it in a sound deadening enclosure since the size is quite small. Installation was pretty straight forward with a good set of instructions.

Works Great! My installation is 15 ft. vertical lift and 30 ft. horizontal to the sewer drain. Discharge line can only run 18" horizontal prior to vertical lift. Luckily, that was not an issue with my install location.
