Why it matters
The Saniplus sits behind a toilet and macerates waste so a full bathroom (toilet, sink, shower or tub) can drain where there's no gravity drain. Saniflo rates it to pump 15 ft vertically or 150 ft horizontally.
It uses hardened stainless steel blades and vibration absorbers to cut noise, carries CSA and IAPMO plumbing code listings, and has a three-year warranty.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Basement bathrooms without a drain
- Full bathroom additions
- Owners who want an established brand
Look elsewhere if
- Wipes and sanitary products
- Tight budgets
