Your guide to Saniflo shower

A Saniflo shower gives you more options for your projects. You can add shower facilities where they are needed. This avoids large changes to the building's frame. These pumps are made for long and reliable use. They offer good value for home and small business jobs.

Choose the right Saniflo shower for your project

Picking the right pump means it works well for many years. It also keeps running costs low for the end user.

Key performance values

Look at the Delivery Head (m). This shows the max height the pump can push water. Also check the Flow Rate (l/h). This shows how much water it moves per hour. Match these values to your project's needs. This gives you confidence in the pump's work.

Materials and expected lifespan

Good materials are key for pumps that handle wastewater. Our Saniflo pumps use strong plastics and metals. These parts stand up to wear from soap and hot water. This means the pump will last a long time. It lowers the need for service calls.

Power and running costs

These pumps use a standard single-phase power supply. They are made for low energy use. This saves your client money on electricity bills. A pump with low power use is a strong selling point. It shows you provide good value for the long term.

Common applications in SME and residential projects

Saniflo shower pumps are perfect for many small-scale projects. They give a trusted way to remove wastewater.

Flexible use in offices and retail

You can easily add a shower for staff in an office building. Or you can fit a changing room in a small shop. This pump makes it possible without costly groundwork. It helps you meet your client's needs quickly.

Perfect for home extensions

These pumps are great for home renovation projects. You can install an ensuite bathroom in a loft. Or add a shower room in a basement. The Saniflo system links easily to the current sewer pipe.

Water type: For greywater only

These Saniflo pumps are made for greywater. This is water from a shower, basin, or bidet. They are not made for solids from a toilet. Using them for the wrong water type will cause a fault. It will also end the manufacturer's warranty.

How a Saniflo shower works

The system is simple and works on its own. It provides a sure way to remove wastewater.

Automatic pumping action

Water from the shower flows into the pump's tank. A float switch inside senses the water level. The pump starts by itself. The impeller pushes water out through the discharge hose. The pump stops when the tank is empty.

The importance of a non-return valve

Most Saniflo units have a built-in non-return valve. This valve stops water from flowing back into the pump. It is a key part for correct working. It also helps stop bad smells from the drain pipes.

Quiet and hidden operation

Modern Saniflo pumps are very quiet. Your client will hardly hear them working. Their small size means you can hide them with ease. You can place them in a cupboard or behind a wall panel. This is ideal for homes and quiet office spaces.

System installation and required parts

A correct installation makes sure the pump works well for years. It is a simple job for a professional.

Connecting to the pipework

The main benefit of a Saniflo shower is the small discharge hose. It is usually 22mm or 32mm wide. You can run this small pipe through walls or ceilings. This avoids the need for large 110mm drain pipes. This saves a lot of time and building work.

Accessories for a full system

You may need a connecting kit for your Saniflo installation. This often has coupling pieces and clips. Always use a high-quality discharge hose. This ensures a safe, leak-free system. Good parts prevent future problems for your client.

Electrical safety and connection

A qualified electrician must connect the pump. It needs its own power supply. This makes sure the system is safe and meets all rules. All our pumps are single-phase units. They connect to a standard UK power supply.
