Macerator Pump

This is a great value for your money. I bought this to replace an overpriced one that has been having issues for about a year, and after several attempts to repair it, a replacement seemed like the way to go. I had it professionally installed but they didn't seem to have too much trouble even though the inlets weren't the same size. We are using it in a full bath with a toilet, sink, and shower. Ours did not come with a manual or instructions, but that was quickly solved by Google. We've only had it a few weeks but it immediately solved our issues we were having. I'd say it is about as loud as our old one but doesn't run as long or often, I'm assuming it is because it is more efficient. Save yourself some money and go with the Silent Venus.

The previous owner of my home had put in a top of the line pump-out system, but it only lasted three or four years. That system cost over grand before installation. When we needed to replace it, I ended up choosing the Silent Venus for a fraction of the cost. We have it hooked up to the toilet, bathroom sink, and shower. It works just as well as the old one did. It was fairly easy to install. We did it ourselves because the plumbing was already set up for the last one. The hardest part was realigning the output pipes because this system was different from my old one. I am extremely happy with not having to shell out another grand to get use of our basement bathroom again. If I'm going to need to replace the pump-out every three or four years, I would much rather only spend $400 rather than $1000.

Seems to work well. Only downside is the noise when the pump activates. You get about a 1-2 second long burst with each flush. If you have a shower hooked up as well it will keep pumping every few seconds as the shower drain is being pumped out as long as you use the shower. Same with a sink, but slower. Again, it’s a bit noisy, but it works well with a shower, toilet and sink in a basement bathroom with no pre existing drain. Of course toilet needs to have a rear drain, not floor. And this pump unit will need an outlet near by.

This upflush unit has been in place for close to a year and has been working excellent with no problems. The value and price were great! Thanks for offering a good product at an affordable price.

I bought this pump because of the price but regret everything about that decision. It cost me tons of money to get it installed, and from the start I knew it was a mistake because it took two flushes for the pump to fully clean the toilet, and there was a delay of 30 seconds after a flush for the pump to start working. It barely worked for 11 months and then completely stopped working after that. Now I have to get a new pump, and pay another round of installation fees to the plumber to replace this terrible pump. So morale of the story, just save yourself the money, and go with a better quality pump.

There are a few things to note about this... It’s in metric measurements. It’s pretty close to American measurements with pvc pipe. This was for a tiny house on wheels. The pump sits underneath the trailer. I was able to successfully hook a three inch line from a regular toilet to this, with the shower and sink going from a two inch pvc down to an inch and a quarter. The grey water isn’t macerated, just the solids from the toilet. The three inch toilet line connected right to this with no problem with the clamps and boot. They recommend using the saniflow toilet but like I said it hooked up and works fine with a regular toilet, if your appliancation calls for that. I was in a position where I couldn’t put the pump at the same level as the toilet, no could I dig into the sewer main. I used the one inch pump line to tie into the sewer stack and it works great.

Great bang for the buck if you don’t mind the noise.

We installed this in a basement bathroom which had a similar unit installed a few years ago. Over time the old one went bad, seeming to run constantly whenever the water was used in the bathroom. When our plumber installed the new one, he told us the previous unit had been installed with numerous right-angles in the outflow piping, something strongly cautioned against in the installation manual. So be careful to follow the directions. Right angles are hard on the pump. Use the 45-degree connectors provided and try to minimize twists and turns on the route to the line leading outside the house.

Cabana located 120’ from house at a 5’ lower elevation and this mascerator works like a dream! Would totally recommend 😁
