Toilet waste shredders: what they're for and how to choose the best one

A toilet macerator is the best solution for installing a bathroom without a drain . It's an essential product for anyone renovating their home and revolutionizing the positioning of sanitary fixtures. Normally, the position of the toilet is strictly limited, but thanks to the toilet macerator, you can place the bowl in other locations as well.

How does the toilet macerator work and what is it used for?

The location of the toilet drainpipe was chosen by those who built the houses many years ago. During renovations, it's essential to consider the location of the drain, as pipes of a certain thickness are required to function properly. Toilet macerators, however, help by breaking this rigid positional constraint, allowing the bathroom to be relocated in a more suitable location, in keeping with the renovation the homeowner had planned. Specifically, using a macerator, wastewater can be transported even through a small-diameter pipe . However, it's important to remember that there are also various models for rainwater and blackwater drains, in addition to external and built-in ones. Until a few years ago, the major drawback of macerators was noise . Today, several brands produce quiet , soundproof systems. In addition to toilet models, however, it's important to remember that macerators for rainwater and for showers or dishwashers are also available, which also help prevent blockages. But how does it actually work? The device shreds and shreds, but also delivers everything to the drain. So, first, it tackles organic waste and toilet paper, and then transports everything away thanks to a drainage pump.

Benefits of installing a toilet macerator

A few lines ago on Climando magazine we already explained the importance and usefulness of installing a toilet macerator, but there are also other advantages:

• position the sanitary ware as you prefer, avoiding having to revolutionise the pipes
• It is an excellent help in the case of condominium waste pipes by acting as a filter for unsuitable objects
• reduces clogging as long as the installation guidelines are followed
• assured design since the shredder can be placed even in a niche
• The shredder can also work in different areas of the house, not only the bathroom but also the laundry room and kitchen.

How to choose the best toilet waste macerator

The best choice for purchasing a device like a toilet macerator is to rely on a leading brand that invests in research and innovation. This is the case with the SFA Group, which positions itself as a top-of-the-line product with Sanitrit. With over sixty years of experience and patents filed in the sector, SFA allows thousands of families to renovate their homes with peace of mind, while maintaining the high quality standards of Made in France. Sanitrit is a compact electromechanical device that can be positioned behind or immediately adjacent to a traditional toilet. This small box mediates between the wastewater and the toilet, macerating the wastewater and then pumping it vertically if necessary.

Sanitrit is a patented system for bathrooms or kitchens located in an impractical position, far from the drain pipe. For everything to work properly, however, it's important to carefully follow the installation instructions in the technical data sheet. Sanitrit products range in price from around €300 to the most expensive €900, depending on the model, and are recommended by even the best architects.
