There are models for use with a single loo, a loo and basin or a full bathroom. Ensure the macerator can be installed behind your chosen loo (or behind a demountable panel if the unit needs to be obscured from sight)
The powerful macerator has a rotating blade that shreds and grinds solid material like human waste and toilet paper. When mixed with flushing water, solid material changes to a fine slurry which moves easily through a narrow pipe upward. A quiet electric-powered pump moves the fine slurry upward under pressure.
You will find that your toilet will use more water with this type of pump for flushing. The pump will make a grinding noise every time you flush the toilet which is likely to irritate some users. Older models have a reputation for being unreliable and for frequently breaking down. These two things are not quite as much of a concern these days due to advances in technology, but a macerator is not likely to be quite as reliable as a regular toilet with a normal sewage pipe connection. If you use the macerator regularly, you can expect the need to replace it within two to three years.
The primary advantage of installing macerator pumps is convenience. If you're installing a new bathroom in a basement and there's no existing sewage outlet, you have 2 choices. You can either install a macerator or undergo more serious remodelling and extend the existing sewage outlet down into the basement.
They are used in the home for basement bathrooms. They make solid waste liquid so that it's easier to pump the waste from below the ground into an existing sewage pipe or outlet. For bathrooms installed in a basement or cellar, this can be an affordable and easy solution to getting waste out from under the ground.
A Macerator Pump is a kind of pump that is connected to a toilet (or in some cases included in the toilet itself if you buy a macerator toilet) that grinds up solid waste so that it can be pumped against gravity more effectively. This kind of system isn't used particularly often in the UK, but it can provide an efficient solution to a certain kind of problem.
