Saniflo SaniPLUS 0.5 HP Macerating Pump – Engineered for Remote Bathroom Installations

The Saniflo SaniPLUS is a 0.5 HP macerating pump system designed to support the installation of full bathrooms in locations below sewer level or distant from the main soil stack. With the ability to discharge vertically up to 15 feet and horizontally up to 150 feet, this unit is suitable for basements, renovations, and areas with limited access to conventional gravity drainage.

Installation Guidance

The SaniPLUS must be installed with a rear-discharge, elongated bowl toilet specifically designed for macerator systems. The unit includes a discharge elbow, two 2” side inlets, and a vent connection (1-1/2") that must be tied into the building’s vent system. While the pump features a plug-and-play electrical cord, all plumbing work should adhere to local codes. Licensed professionals should ensure proper backflow protection, air venting, and fixture connection alignment.

Common Applications

• Basement bathroom additions
• Remote powder rooms or full baths
• Renovation projects without traditional plumbing access

Professional Notes

The Saniflo SaniPLUS is frequently specified for retrofits or below-grade builds due to its compact footprint, reliable maceration system, and proven performance under pressure. Its simple serviceability, low noise output, and multiple inlet options make it a practical solution for installations requiring flexibility and compliance with international plumbing standards.
