PLUMBING CONNECTION

t’s fairly easy to take the humble
old toilet for granted. When
purchasing properties, it isn’t
something potential buyers consider a
make or break deal. So long as it does
what it’s supposed to do and does
so without being a total eyesore, it
stands a good chance of surviving the
renovation process. It does become a
talking point when another bathroom
is required though, or similarly, when
it’s decided that an underutilised
space would be better suited to
housing a toilet and wash basin. Large
cupboards and old laundry spaces are
good examples. Toilets also become a
talking point when considering amenity
options for granny flats or man caves
located in the backyard.
So when your customer calls you in
for a quote and to discuss the various
options for installing their new toilet
before gasping for air once you inform
them of the process required and
costs involved, there is another option.
The Sanicompact C43 from Saniflo is
a self contained system that removes
the need to dig trenches or cut
concrete when relocating sewer pipes
to install a toilet. The unobtrusive
system does this by pumping the
waste water out through a small 25mm
discharge pipe which can be concealed
behind walls or under the floor.
“The system is ideal for various
domestic situations, particularly in
tight spaces where a regular toilet
simply wouldn’t fit,” David Rundle of
Saniflo says.
“The Sanicompact C43 is also a
popular option when an extra toilet
facility is required for someone who is
physically impaired in on the granny
flat or spare room. With an aging
population we envisage more and more
people will need to look at installing
toilets within close proximity to
bedrooms.
“The beauty of the system being
installed in granny flats is that it can
be pumped back to the main sewer
connection of the house.”
Toilets with in-built macerators have
been commonly associated with loud
noises when flushing. Saniflo have
ensured this wasn’t the case with the
Sanicompact C43 which boasts a quiet
flush of 60db compared to average
cistern flushes of 70db.
It has the ability to pump 3m
vertically or 30m horizontally and is
provided as a dual flush with either
a 1.8L or 3.8L flush available, which
according to Saniflo can save the
average household some 13,000L of
water per year. This is sure to pique
the interest of prospective clients
looking to renovate or add to the house
while still being conscious of their hip
pocket.
SANIFLO HAS DEVELOPED A COMPACT TOILET SOLUTION THAT IS NOT ONLY AESTHETICALLY APPEALING AND
EASY TO INSTALL BUT COST EFFECTIVE TOO.
