PREPARING THE
VIII
MACERATING UNIT
Follow steps on page 3.
CONNECTION TO
IX
A VENT SYSTEM
The macerating unit must be vented. It has a
1-1/2" inlet on the side of the case meant for this
connection. It must be connected to a vent system
according to your local plumbing codes.
Install the provided 90 degree rubber elbow (O) on
this inlet to connect to the vent pipe and secure
with clamps (L). Note that all fixtures connected to
the system must also be vented.
Warning: Do not use an air admittance
valve or a mechanical spring-loaded venting
device, as these devices are one-way
valves. The air pressure in and outside the
macerating unit must be equal.
CONNECTION OF SINK
X
The macerating unit is equipped with an additional
1-1/2" inlet on the side of the case. This inlet is
used to connect the drain pipe of a sink to the
macerating unit. Use the provided 1-1/2" x 1-1/2"
coupling (I) when connecting a sink. Secure this
connection with the provided clamps (L) once they
are installed.
Note: The actual distance between the p-trap of
the additional fixture and the macerating unit
determines the necessary clearance to install the
p-trap and elevation required to ensure a minimum
gravity flow of ¼" per foot.
CONNECTION TO THE
XI
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
All wiring should be in accordance with the
applicable electrical code in your territory. The
macerating system requires a single-phase 120-volt,
15 amp. supply. When installed in a bathroom, the
receptacle should be 40 inches away (in a straight
line) from a shower or bathtub. Connect only to a
receptacle protected by a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI).
Warning: Risk of electric shock - this pump is
supplied with a grounding conductor and
grounding type attachment plug to reduce the
risk of electrical shock. Be certain that it is
connected only to a properly grounded-type
receptacle.
ACTIVATING
XII
THE UNIT/USAGE
1. Ensure that the toilet is free of building debris
prior to activating.
2. Open the water shut-off valve and let the tank fill
up.
3. Ensure the power supply is on.
4. Flush several times with intervals in between
depositing a few sheets of toilet paper into the bowl.
There should be no paper remaining in the bowl
after each flush.
The normal domain of application of SFA macerating
units only concerns the disposal of human waste,
toilet paper and water.
Warning: Do not discharge any acids, alkaloids,
solvents painting, paint strippers, food waste,
plastic bags, metal such as nails, hairpins, wood,
building materials, kitty litter or anything that
could halt or damage or corrode the unit.
Disregarding the above might damage the
macerating unit and shall void your warranty.
Do not hang bleach blocks or hydrochloride
cleaners in the toilet tank. These solutions
have been shown to deteriorate the plastic and
neoprene components of the flush and fill valves,
and may cause leaks. In the event of a power loss
do not use the toilet or any other sanitary fixture
connected to the macerating unit since it will not
work until the power is restored.
The toilet works as a conventional flushing
toilet and needs no maintenance in normal use.
However, there is nothing wrong with cleaning out
the macerating unit once a year. Use Saniflo lime
and scale remover where hard water is present. Do
not use bleach (Be careful not to let water enter the
electrical cord opening).
The macerating unit starts automatically once the
toilet is flushed or the hand basin is discharged.
Whenever the unit is not to be used for long periods
of time (vacation, power failure, maintenance, etc.)
turn off the water supply to the tank and flush the
unit to evacuate the water. No leakage into the bowl
should ever be permitted from the tank.
In areas, which are prone to freezing, the total
system must be properly winterized. This includes
the draining of all pipes, the toilet tank, bowl and the
macerating tank. The macerating system is simple
to winterize. Pour a jug of plumber's antifreeze into
the tank and flush the toilet. This will cause the
macerating unit to activate and all remaining water
will be replaced by plumber's anti-freeze. No parts
or labor are warranted when a breakdown occurs
due to freezing.
Ensure that there are no faucets left open. Drops
will eventually fill up the pump and as a result, the
motor will activate repeatedly.
ACCESS TO MAIN
XIII
COMPONENTS
(For qualified personnel only)
The macerating unit is very reliable and with normal
use, it is assured to provide service for several
hundred thousand cycles. However, there may be
instances when some little intervention may be
required.
Warning: Before attempting any work, please
make sure to unplug the unit from the power
supply.
1. If a foreign object falls inside the macerating unit
and gets clogged in the blade system, please follow
the steps on page 5 in order to remove it.
Note: The service panel on the left side can be
removed using the tool provided.
Warning: Do not attempt to remove the object
with your hand, use pliers for this purpose.
2. If the capacitor, microswitch or membrane needs
to be replaced, please follow the steps on page 6.
Note: The service panel on the right side can be
removed using the tool provided.
Warning: Before attempting any work, please
make sure to unplug the unit from the power
supply.
These three components are considered to be part
of the pressure sensing section of the pump. In
case of questions on how to replace these, please
call the technical support number listed on the
cover of this manual.
RETURN AND REPAIR OF
XIV
THE MACERATING UNIT
In the event that the unit needs to be returned for
service, please call for possible options, or to inquire
about an authorized repair shop in your area. When
you are required to return the macerating unit to
the manufacturer or repair shop, please ensure
that prior to shipping, the unit has been cleaned
and disinfected inside and outside. A labor charge
will be in effect for cleaning ($50.00).
Please package the macerating unit properly with
adequate shock absorbent material around it.
If any repairs are done outside the warranty period,
or when the user has damaged the macerating
unit, you will be apprised of repair costs.
MAINTENANCE
XV
(For qualified personnel only)
1. If the unit needs to be opened or if the motor
needs to be removed, please pry open the lid for
easy access. There will be a gasket in between the
lid and the casing which prevents any leakage in
the unit.
2. Note that the motor is filled with dielectric oil.
Do not remove it or replace with regular oil. Please
note that the distributor purposely does not keep
seals, bearings or oil in stock. If the cap which
holds the oil in place is removed, warranty is voided
automatically.
3. When closing the lid, make sure to grease or
lubricate the lid seal with soapy water or dish soap.
The lead seal must be inserted on the inner seams
of the inside of the lid. Once you have the lid almost
in place, work yourself around the lid tapping down
on the lid with a rubber mallet or block.
