Trading Depot sells a comprehensive range of domestic macerator pumps from both Saniflo and Stuart Turner. All pumps listed state the maximum pumping distances (both vertical and horizontal) and the appliances they are designed to work with. The concept of the macerator pumps available is simple - they reduce waste to liquid form and discharge via small bore pipework to a soil stack or sewer that could be several metres away. This gives you much greater flexibility if you are planning an extension or new en-suite than traditional plumbing would allow. Most macerators operate automatically when the cistern is flushed. They are quiet and economical to use and connect to standard domestic electricity supply.

So whether you are looking to add an en-suite, shower room, full bathroom or just a cloakroom, these products will help. Even basements can be easily become the location for a new shower room when used with a macerator pump that can pump vertically up to 5 metres in a number of cases.

The 'Sanicompact' WC with integrated macerator is of particular note as it looks like a standard WC yet requires no cistern, and has a macerator pump built-in to the back of it. It even has a connection for a handbasin.
