How Quiet is the SANITOILET Solution?

If you’re planning to renovate your bathroom or upgrade your home, the Sanitoilet system is an excellent and cost-effective alternative to traditional plumbing. The Sanitoilet macerating pump connects to your toilet and grinds solid waste, allowing it to be pumped against gravity more effectively. This gives homeowners the flexibility to design their bathroom layout as they see fit.

All You Need to Know About the Quiet Feature of Sanitoilet

The main benefit of installing a Sanitoilet system is the convenience and ease of installation. When starting a new bathroom installation, you have two options if no existing below-floor drainage is available: either install a Sanitoilet or undergo a more costly and complex plumbing system that requires creating a new sewage outlet. Installing a Sanitoilet is the less expensive and much easier option.

The Sanitoilet uses a fast-rotating stainless steel cutting blade to convert solid waste into a fine slurry, which is then pumped through small-diameter piping (¾-inch or 1-inch) and expelled into the sewage line or septic tank. Instead of routing flush water through below-floor drainage lines, the wastewater from the toilet flows into the macerator by gravity.

A Quiet Operation

Another advantage of the Sanitoilet system is its quiet operation. Unlike other basement plumbing systems, the cutting blades and pump of the Sanitoilet are much quieter. Let’s take a closer look at how this works.

Based on the description of how Sanitoilet works, you might think that a motorized device grinding and discharging solid waste would be loud. However, a Sanitoilet macerator is no louder than a normal toilet flush.

There is some variation in sound depending on the pump model, but most are relatively quiet. The sound level emitted in decibels can vary from one installation to another, depending on the product and the surroundings (room size and shape, whether it’s tiled, etc.).

To keep your Sanitoilet running quietly, it’s important that you or your installer follow the installation instructions carefully to avoid the propagation of sound vibrations; for example, eliminating contact between the macerator and the wall, placing anti-vibration pads under the tank, and mounting the piping at regular intervals.

You can also add a layer of sound insulation between the Sanitoilet, the floor, and the wall for even better soundproofing.

What If My Sanitoilet Starts Vibrating or Making Noise?

If you flush the toilet and hear a loud vibrating noise, something might be lodged in the macerator blade. To remove this obstruction, first, turn off the Sanitoilet and remove the lid. If you see the obstruction, carefully remove it with a pair of small pliers. If you need further assistance, contact a plumbing professional for help.

If your Sanitoilet is making an unusual amount of noise, it may have been installed incorrectly. Again, to avoid sound vibrations from contact with the walls, tank, and piping, hire a plumber to install the pump according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Choosing the Right Sanitoilet Solution

Installing a Sanitoilet may be necessary for some households, depending on where the bathroom is located. Sanitoilet offers a variety of options to suit different bathroom setups. Contact SFA Vietnam for advice on choosing the right macerator for your space and needs.

In a recent case study, SFA Vietnam introduced the Sanipro XR, which was installed in the basement bathroom of an office building in Ho Chi Minh City. The building owner found the Sanitoilet solution ideal for their basement toilet system, which had previously been impossible to build due to many plumbing restrictions.

Thanks to the Sanitoilet system, the facilities for the security staff and office tenants in the building became much more convenient. With Sanitoilet, you can decide where to install your toilet without being restricted by conventional plumbing systems. The Sanitoilet system ensures that your toilet operates quietly and efficiently every time you flush.
