Is there any other other option of discharging waste other than a saniflow when one is required?
Looked at a job and previous plumbs has a massive run of soil with not quite enough fall on it so bog is not clearing properly . Also would have to run a new discharge pipe for saniflow if have to use one which is not ideal .
 
There is a wide choice of macerators on the market Hammers from £90 upwards but at end of day you get what you pay for so don`t expect more than a 1yr warranty and no back-up whats so ever if there is a problem with the cheap one`s (and one well known expensive manufacture as well). Some claim to have engineers yet when you ring them they simply say "Buy a new one". Most require a minimum fall of 1:100 (10mm per m) have you got that? if so just T into somewhere.
 
Just to add, if the connection is on a horizontal pipe above the macerator then you must go up and over to come down and join the pipe from above. A T from below simply cause`s problems but is an easy mistake to make.
