  • Consult a qualified plumber if you are unsure about any installation steps.

4. Водич за инсталацију

It is highly recommended to watch the installation videos provided before beginning the installation process.

  • Ensure the installation area has adequate space for the toilet and pump.
  • Confirm access to a power outlet for the macerator pump.
  • Gather necessary tools (screwdriver, scissors, measuring tape, etc.).

4.3. Connecting Inlet Pipes (Shower/Sink)

  1. Remove the cover from the desired bottom inlet port on the macerator pump.
  2. Insert the check valve into the inlet to prevent sewage backflow.
  3. Fix the hose to the inlet. Cut off any excess hose with scissors.
  4. Install a 40mm diameter PVC inlet pipe. Ensure the inlet pipe maintains a 3% inclination to prevent sewage from remaining in the pipe.
  5. Repeat for any additional sink or shower connections. If an inlet is not used, ensure it is securely blocked with a cover.

4.4. Connecting the Toilet

  1. Connect the rubber hose to the toilet's drain outlet.
  2. Secure the rubber hose with a clamp.
  3. Align the toilet's drain outlet with the front inlet of the macerator pump and push it firmly to ensure a secure connection.

  2. For the outlet pipe, you can use 28mm, 32mm, or 40mm PVC pipes. A 32mm PVC hard pipe is recommended for installation.
  3. If discharging horizontally before lifting, the horizontal section must be less than 30cm to avoid affecting the vertical lift height.
