How to be if the sewage output is located higher than the outlet of the plumbing? How then to organize drain drains? In private homes, they made a pit, in which drains were gathered, from there swung a submersible pump into a sewer or septic tank. Today there is another solution - the sewer pump. In many cases, its installation costs cheaper, and it's easier - so it's for sure.
Device and purpose
The pump with chopper is a surface sewer pumping unit, which allows you to organize a removal of wastewater where to do this with the help of a samotane system is not possible. This is a small plastic container with a powerful integrated pump, which pumps the drains into the sewer. The movement of the drains can be both vertically and horizontally. There are installations with a shredder that can be connected to the toilet bowls, there is no shredder - for "gray" of drains from shells, soul, bidet, etc.
Sealing pump for toilet and other plumbing has a small size
Application area
A sewage pump is used in cases where it is impossible to make a samotane sewer system. In most cases, when the plumbing device, washing or dishwasher is installed below the input into the sewer. For this purpose and forced sewage pumps are invented. This solution allows you to carry the bathrooms and technical premises in the basements or semi-breeding rooms.
Connecting sanitary pumps in the bathroom, toilet, kitchen, laundry. In any room where water drain is required, and the sewer stock is far away
Another pump with the shredder is set if the bathroom is decided to make after the repair and sewage to the place of the alleged installation of the plumbing is not supplied. In this case, the installable technique is connected to a compact sewer pump, and it connects to the sewage. What is the difference? In the following:
- The diameter of the tap pipes for the sewer pump is much less than for the samotane system (28-40 mm);
- Stocks can rise up to a height of up to 9 meters;
- Horizontal wastewater discharge is possible up to 100 meters (requires the presence of a minimum slope of 1-4%).
All this allows with minimal costs to organize an connection to existing sewage to almost anywhere.
Device and principle of operation
The sewer pump from the accumulative plastic container and pump is consisting. Some models that can connect to the toilet have a chopper. The fill level is controlled by the sensor. When it triggers, the shredder and pump are turned on, the drains are reset into the sewer system. Disconnection controls the second sensor - it turns off the power, when the flow level falls below a certain mark. This is a simplified pressure sewage algorithm.
Sewer pump with chopper: device
There are sewer pumping stations designed to connect devices of different types and quantity. The easiest is intended for connecting one or two devices, the most productive - has three additional nozzles (and one main). Accordingly, there are one or more inlets in the container (depends on the model) and one outlet. Pipes from plumbing are connected to the inlets, and the output is connected to sewage.
To pump high-temperature drains from washing and dishwashers, bathrooms have special models made of heat-resistant materials. The usual sewer pump does not cope with such a load. Therefore, to connect such equipment, you need to look for certain models.
Advantages and disadvantages
The main advantage of compact individual sewer installations is that they allow you to equip the sewage without large-scale construction or repair work. With their help, complex tasks are solved:
- The design device at the location of the plumbing devices is below the entry point in the sewer system.
- Bathroom equipment without large-scale general construction work.
Another positive point is the use of small diameter pipes. Most of the toilet pumps are connected to the sewage with plastic pipes with a diameter of 28 mm - 32 mm - 40 mm. Only installations with a lot of performance require installation of 50 mm pipes. Such plumbing networks are easier to hide. Even if they failed to hide them, they attract not so much attention as standard one hundred millimeters.
Examples of sewer pumps for toilet and bathroom
Nevertheless, there are disadvantages:
- Dependence on electricity. No power - sewage is not working. Uninterrupted work requires a redundant source.
- The pumps are noisy. Manufacturers improve their products, install pumps with a smaller level of noise, but they are still present.
- It requires compliance with certain rules of operation. For example, it is undesirable to enter the chopper of fibrous materials. With toilet paper, modern shredders copble well, but with fibrous components and hair - a problem. They are wound on the screw, reducing the quality of grinding. Sooner or later, the screw is blocked. The installed overheating sensor will not allow the equipment to burn - turn it off earlier. But the installation will have to disassemble and clean, and this is not the most pleasant lesson.
There are compact models for installation in niches
Well, the main drawback - the pumps burn out. If the power and performance is chosen correctly, in the sewer does not fall inappropriate items, they can work for years. But when the selection error, when the equipment is operated on the limit of possibilities, the pumps are often not maintained. Therefore, when choosing a sewer pump for a toilet, it is better to take with a reserve by productivity. It will cost more, but will work this installation longer.
Classification and species
There is no single classification of forced sewage settings, but you can separate them by several parameters:
- The presence of chopper. It is needed if the sewer pump is connected to the toilet bowl.
- Performance. This is the volume of waste, which can pump out per unit of time. There are installations with small performance and with very solid. The selection depends on the number and type of plug-in devices.
- The temperature of the pumped medium is from 40 ° C to 90 ° C. Everything is clear here - the stocks from the dishwasher and washing machine, the baths require the presence of sewage pumping stations capable of pumping drains with high temperatures.
- Duration of work. There are installations that can only be turned on briefly (put on one or two devices), and there are more "long-playing" (can be used to drive the integers of the whole home). This is usually indicated in the characteristics as the duration of work. Percentage can stand - 50%. This means that 30 seconds the installation works, 30 seconds "resting". Interval work / cooling with seconds or minutes can be registered.
Sewage Soul Pump - With Pad Installation
When choosing a pump for forced sewage, it is worth remembering that they are not calculated on the bath connection. Bathrooms contain too much water volume, pumping which pump will overheat and blocked. As a result, it will have to drop water from the bathroom for a long time. There are only several models of forced sewage that will cope with this task - SFA Saniplus Silence and Sololift C3. These sewer pumps are perfectly coping with a large number of warm water descended.
Other firms offer for forced drainage from the bathroom to make an intermediate pit in which to merge water. From it already pump in the sewer with any suitable device. Taking into account the fact that the veil should be below the flow level, this method is not always acceptable. And, despite the high cost of SFA Saniplus Silence and Sololift C3, it is more profitable to establish it than to carry out a huge amount of earthworks.
To prevent the tank overflow, there is an additional alarm device. In some firms, it simply gives a beep about the overflow of the container, in others it also disconnects the device connected through it (washing or dishwasher).
Installation and Connection Rules
Installation and connection of pumps for toilet bowls and forced pumping of stocks of different manufacturers occurs according to very similar rules. But before installation it is worth reading the instructions for a specific product - there may be features.

Connection
The installation site should be chosen with such a condition so that the pump can be reached. It does not require special maintenance, but periodically the need for cleaning. If the dishwasher and washing machine are connected to the pump, it is better to regularly check whether the sewage unit is not clogged with fat, mud, salting sediments. If necessary, cleaning with soft means is possible. Aggressive chemical compositions are better not to apply, as they can damage the plastic and rubber parts of the installation.
If the sewer input is higher than necessary
So, here are the general rules:
- Individual sewer installation must be grounded. Therefore, the socket should be a three-wire with a working ground. (About the grounding contour device in a private house read here).
- Safety on the power line should be a protective automatic and RCD.
- When installing the unit is fixed to the floor. To reduce noise levels, the installation on the vibrational base (rubber gasket) is desirable. To press the wall is undesirable - so that the vibration from the pump is not transmitted. These measures are needed to reduce noise.

- The exhaust pipeline is performed from rigid plumbing pipes. There are two recommended options - plastic sewer and copper pipes. Fittings are recommended tough, in-block.
- Pipelines must be fixed fixed (to walls, sex, etc.).
Generally, installing and connecting the sewer pump for a kitchen or toilet is not very difficult to event. But provided that you already have some idea of working with plumbing. In this case, you can do everything yourself.
Features of the discharge pipeline
Compact plumbing pumps for the toilet can pump up the drains not only vertically, but they can raise them up. In the presence of a vertical area in the lower part it is desirable to provide the ability to drain - if you have to clean the pipeline from the zero, it is better if the drains are merged in a certain place, and will not begin to pour out during the work.
The height of the vertical section of the discharge pipeline is determined taking into account the minimum slope of the horizontal section. Each manufacturer (sometimes each model) has a minimum bias, but in most cases it is 1-4% (1-4 cm per 1 meter).
Sewage pump installation rules
Be careful. In the description of the sewer pumps, the maximum height of the amplification of the effluent and the maximum transportation range horizontally is indicated. For example: 8 m up, and 80 meters horizontally. But this does not mean that lifting the pipe 4 meters up, it will be possible to transport 80 meters horizontally horizontally. In this case, after four-meter lifting - the length of the horizontal site will be no more than 40 meters. Just the rise of 1 meter up "selects" about 10 meters of transportation horizontally. It is important and it is worth remembering.
Manufacturers and models
Individual sewer installations produces not so many firms. However, the price range is quite wide. Traditionally, European manufacturers are characterized by good quality, but high prices. No one will be surprised if you say that Chinese sewer pumps are less, but they have worse quality. In general, the choice, as usual - expensive and efficient, or cheaper and ...Installations of Forced Sewer Grundfos (Grundfos) - Sololift (Sololoft)
The well-known manufacturer of Plumbing Grundfos (Grundfos) produces pumps for the forced sewage Sololift (Sololoft). At the moment, the modified SOLOLIFT2 line is running. It does not have mobile parts that have contact with drains. The exception is the chopper, but its drive is also "dry". This makes the repair not so unpleasant. There are several models Sololift for different cases:
- WC1 - with chopper, one basic and one additional entrance. Suitable for connecting the toilet and washbasin.
- WC3 is a pump with a shredder for connecting toilet and three additional inputs.
- CWC3 - also as WC3, only for connecting outboard toilet bowls.
The main characteristics of the Sololift sewer pumps
- C3 - a high performance fecal pump, can pump out the layers with a temperature of up to + 90 ° C, pump the drains from the bath, from the washing and / or dishwasher.
- D2 is a pump for hot sewage (with a temperature of up to + 90 ° C) without solid impurities. It can connect to the soul, washbasin, to washing and dishwasher machines.
Sololoft sewage pumps are not the cheapest equipment, but they work reliably correspond to the declared characteristics. The company also supports warranty repairs.
Pumps for toilets, bathrooms, kitchens and technical premises SFA
This firm specializes in the production of sanitary pumps. There are several lines to solve various tasks, connecting various devices:
- Saniaccess - Household pump Grinder for toilet with the possibility of connecting the washbasin and soul (modifications with numbers 2 and 3, respectively). It has a small performance.
- Sanibest - a pump for toilet and sewage with great performance. Suitable for private houses with high intensity of use and for public spaces.
- Sanibroyeeur - a silent pump for toilet bowl, has a shredder, can transport drain on 4 m up or 100 m to the side.
SFA SFA SIBEST PRO
- Sanipack is a compact sewage pump to which you can connect the suspension toilet and shower / sink / bidet. It can be embedded in the partition due to small sizes.
- Saniplus Silence is a powerful pump that can divert water from several plumbing devices. Differs in low-noise work and great performance. Can cope with a flow from the bathroom.
- Sanipro XR Silence The most quiet model for pumping the sewage drain from a full-fledged bathroom (without a bath).
- Sanitop - installation of forced sewage to connect toilet and sink. This is a newer model compared to Saniaccess, it works quieter, has a more powerful pump.
SFA products work reliably, it costs a little less than Grunefus. You can choose a model for any combination of plumbing. In general, the SFA sewer pump is a good option. Installing the hardware is standard - put in any convenient location. There is only one limit - it is better that the vertical pipe begins from the vertical site, if any on your track. If this is not possible, the length of the horizontal section must be no more than 30 cm.
The height of the vertical site is calculated based on the fact that the horizontal should have a bias toward the inlet of at least 1% (1 cm per 1 meter of the pipe).
CompactLift fecal pumps firms Aquatik
Pumps for the toilet Compact elevator produces Chinese firm Aquatik. This is a more budget version of individual sewer installations. Different with low noise levels.

Pressure sewer pumps STP (JEMIX)
These individual sewer installations are made in China. The price category is average. Reviews, as usual, are different - someone completely suits, someone categorically dislike.
So, this is what the pumps for the sewage will find JEMIX:
- STP-100 LUX. To connect the toilet with two additional inputs (washbasin, pypural, shower). Power 600 W, productivity 200 liters / min, height of vertical lift - 9 m, horizontal - 90 m, maximum temperature + 90 ° C.
- STP-400 LUX. Pump for toilet with similar connection capabilities. Only the temperature of the effluent is not higher than + 40 ° C, the capacity is 400 W, the capacity is 100 liters / min, the height of the wastewater is up to 8 meters, horizontal transportation - up to 80 m.
Approximate Sewer Pumps StP (JEMIX)
- STP-800. You can also connect one floor toilet + two additional entrances. But the capacity is 800 W, the pressure is 150 liters / min, the rise of 9 m, horizontally - 90 m. Only warm drains can be transported - up to + 40 ° C.
- STP-200. With one input to connect the toilet and two optional. Less power - 400 W, 100 liters / min can pump, maximum height - 8 m, horizontal transportation - 80 m, the temperature of the transported medium is not higher than + 40 ° C.
- STP-250. To remove gray drains (without solid inclusions). It has two entrances (shower, washbasin, bidet). The capacity is 250 W, the height of the wastewater is up to 5 m, horizontally transporting no further than 50 m, no more than 80 liters / min can pump out.
- STP-500 LUX. This pump is intended only for toilet bowl. No extra outputs
From the above-described high power, some models raise the estates of 9 meters. Most of the sewer pressure pumps described above can raise up the estimates of 4-5 meters. So in this djemixes won. According to this parameter, they have only one competitor - Sololift Grundfos with its lifting height of 8 meters. But the price category is completely different (as well as quality, however).
