Saniflo Sanicompact

Saniflo Sanicompact helps installer overcome impossible toilet installation. Some installers shy away from a challenge, but others just embrace finding solutions to seemingly impossible situations. 

Lee Hammond is one such installer. He runs his own business, Hammond & Holmes Kitchens & Bathrooms in Eccleston. His customer in Wigan was looking to create a downstairs cloakroom in a hallway cupboard adjacent to the stairs as part of wider renovations to the property. 

Two contractors had already viewed the job and declared it impossible. Step forward Lee, with his problem-solving skills and he soon realised that all he was needed was a Saniflo. 

A macerator pump would be able to pump the waste up into the ceiling above, along the kitchen ceiling and into the central internal soil stack.

Whilst plumbing in the small-bore pipework to take the waste away from the WC, Lee plumbed pipes for hot and cold water to go back the other away, along with heating pipes to plumb in a towel rail. 

Looking at the variety of options in the Saniflo range with his customer, it was agreed that the perfect unit for the converted space was a Sanicompact.

This compact, cistern-less WC from Saniflo has an integrated macerator and also takes the waste from a basin; the perfect cloakroom solution.  The small footprint of the unit, along with its modern looks and exceptionally efficient and quiet operation ensures it is practical, yet unobtrusive.  

“The Sanicompact was the ideal solution for this small space. It has no cistern, and just requires a water outlet and electricity to operate. 

I was even able to fit a concealed drawer and storage unit under the adjacent stairs as, without the cistern, I had the space to do it.

The Sanicompact offered a clean, uncluttered look in a compact spot and since installation a few months ago it has worked perfectly. The customer is over the moon with it.”

Even more amazingly, this was Lee’s first ever Saniflo installation and he found it so simple to install that he’s since recommended Saniflo solutions to other customers that want to turn unused space into cloakrooms and en-suites;

“Since installing the Sanicompact I have been called out to fix three more Saniflo units. They seem to last forever and only require attention when something inappropriate for a macerator has been put down the loo. They are so useful for projects that require a solution when gravity drainage is not available; as in the case of my Sanicompact customer. I do see myself doing a lot more projects using them.”
