Macerating Toilets
A macerating toilet will allow you to easily
and inexpensively install a toilet in an
area that does not have a floor drain. When
flushed, it empties out the back of the toilet
into a box located on the floor behind the
toilet. The box grinds up human waste and
toilet paper into a slurry, which is then
pumped through a 1/4 inch line into the building’s
soil stack.
Macerating toilets are especially useful
for adding an extra toilet in the basement
without the expense and trouble of breaking
into a cement floor. They are also invaluable
in cases where an elderly or infirm resident
needs a toilet installed on a first floor
level or in a bedroom. These toilets are
made by specialty manufacturers.
Macerating toilets are simple to install,
usually requiring less than a day to be fully
operational. The pump allows a macerating
toilet to work as far as 9 feet below the
sewer level and up to 150 feet from it
Because their installation is completely
reversible, they are ideal for situations
where a toilet will only be needed on a temporary
basis. |
