IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
I
This drain pump is manufactured in a factory
which is quality certified to ISO 9001 (2000). To
benefit from the advantages provided by this new
generation system, it is important to comply with
the installation instructions.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
II
The drain pump unit is a residential/commercial
pumping system for gray water fixtures. It can
simultaneously receive gray water from sanitary
fixtures such as sinks, commercial dishwashers,
washing machine, bathtubs, etc. The unit is
specifically designed for use with commercial
or domestic washing machines, dishwashers,
etc. Light and medium duty dishwashers only
acceptable. Consult appliance manuals to ensure
appliance discharge rates are within Sanicom 1
pump out rates where direct infeed to pump is
required. Installed and used correctly, this system
will give consistent and reliable service.
This system must discharge into a 1" sanitary
drain pipe.The discharge diameter can only
be 1" pipe. This system will pump up to 25 feet
vertically and/or 250 Ft horizontally, with a minimum
1/4" per foot gravity fall constantly throughout the
horizontal run to the point of discharge.
INSTALLATION ADVICE
III
1. All discharge pipe work must be connected
to the soil stack by an appropriate and approved
connection (a "wye" fitting is preferable). Note that
the connection into a horizontal soil stack shall be
through the top of the pipe.
2. The discharge pipe from the system shall be an
independent line as no other drain pipe shall tie into it.
3. Any initial horizontal pipe run from the unit, prior
to the vertical lift, should not exceed 18 inches.
Note : After the first vertical run, any run afterwards
should be in a horizontal manner with the required
slope. Therefore, you cannot change directions in
an upward vertical manner.

4. Use long sweeping 90 degree elbows or two
45 degree elbows back-to-back to create the 90
degree turn.
5. When the point of discharge into the soil stack
is lower than the base of the unit, a vacuum relief
valve may need to be fitted at the highest point of in
the pipe run in order to avoid siphonage.
6. Any drain pipe leading into the pump shall have
a minimum 1/4" per foot gravity fall. Any horizontal
discharge pipe shall also have this minimum pitch.
7. The total run on the discharge pipe shall be no
less than 3 ft (combined) before it drains into a
larger stack.
8. The discharge pipe work should not be installed
with a diagonal upward slope.

NORMAL OPERATING CYCLE
V
As the bath, washing machine and lavatory
discharge, the water enter the unit and the water
level begins to rise, triggering the pressure switch.
This in turn activates the motor. The waste water is
picked up by the impeller and discharged through
a 1" outlet pipe to a sanitary sewer or soil stack.
CONNECTION OF THE
VI
DISCHARGE PIPE
These systems are provided with a discharge elbow
(D). To connect to your discharge pipe, insert rubber
discharge elbow (D) on top of the check valve and
secure with clamp (F)
IMPORTANT : Make sure that the check valve is
positioned correctly. When the flapper opens up,
the back of the flapper should be hitting against the
back of the elbow to allow free flow.
Note : Install a ball valve in the discharge line in
order to facilitate the removal of the unit.
If you want the unit to pump vertically and
horizontally, you may calculate that 3 Ft of vertical
lift is equivalent to 30 Ft of horizontal run. Note that
all horizontal runs require a 1/4" per foot gravity fall.
Each bend or change in direction causes minor
losses which must be deducted from the discharge
performance (i.e. reduce discharge height by 3 Ft
for each 90 degree turn). Use long sweeping 90
degree elbows or two 45 degree elbows back-to-
back to create the 90 degree turn. Do not use 90
degree elbows.

SYSTEM
The unit must be vented.
It has a 1 ¼" inlet on the top of the cover meant
for this connection. It must be connected to a vent
system according to your local plumbing codes.
Remove the cap from the vent section. Insert an
adapted pipe into this section (1 ¼" for US, 1 ½"
for Canada)
In order to follow Canada National Plumbing Code,
the vent 1 ¼" port can be connected to a 1 ½"
vent pipe via a 1 ¼" - 1 ½ " adaptor coupling (not
provided by Saniflo). The gasket should create a
tight seal against the pipe.
Warning : Do not use an air admittance valve
or a mechanical spring-loaded venting de-
vice, as these devices are one-way valves.
The air pressure in and outside the unit must
be equal.
