recommendations on macerators?

[Matty Birch]

Hi all I've been talked with installing a waste pump into a basement flat for a landlord. Not my usual forte but I get tons of work of them so difficult to say no

Can anyone reccomend a decent pump to fit, somewhere around mid range I don't want to be getting called back to it every 3 months

It's to pump Kitchen sink and washing machine and I suspect but not confirmed boiler condense.

Thanks in advance

Whether you are called back will depend about 20% on original item quality, 30% on fitting properly, not just according to MI's but better if poss, and then 50% on the end user. (with maybe 5% luck thrown in !! )

I don't think it matters what brand you use. If it's in a rental you have a very good chance the tenant will just flush anything down the toilet then you'll be getting the call to come unblock it

Aye, all sorts of ****

Completely agree that @rpm is an absolute expert on these matters and I didn’t say Saniflo because I knew it would amuse him

Have told landlord I'll be putting some instructions in writing to them and tennant and failure to comply with result in loss of warranty (best thing I could think of but don't want to lose the good work over this )

No matter how much it bumps up the cost. Install in line with the MIs! I cannot stress that enough!!!

 

[Matty Birch]

appreciate the advise

Not editing anything on my end ‍ @rpm have you got any pumps that you could recommend? Also if boilers on the run would it be best to neautralise it?

The reason I gave your post a was because I fitted one of your recommended brand for my landladys friend Saturday morning.
(See my other post).

A simple one out, one in with a few tweaks of pipework took 3hrs because once installed the new one was found to have suffered "Transit damage" being so flimsy.
PS
No warranty card enclosed either.

You see my experience was totally different fitted one because builder supplied it. I did all the plumbing and left it to the electrician for a final wiring. He wired it backwards so the motor burned out in record time. They replaced no questions asked.

Saniflo/ Grundfos/ Stuart Turner in that order for me and you have to neautralise the condensate.

Wired in backwards, burnt out motor
Replaced foc, find that difficult to believe, but if that is what they told you then .........

No they did. Scouts honour. They apparently only had one engineer at the time. Might be different now but he just asked for a merchants details to send it to and it was with my merchant the following day. Didn’t want the old one back either. Was as surprised as you

I did one for a lovely lady in a private home. She embroidered a nice little notice ..a sort of limerick really which ended 'only poo and paper down my loo' never a peep from her
