Hi guys
Just wanted to get your opinion. We have a Saniflo "Sanivite 3" under the kitchen sink which serves the kitchen sink and dishwasher which has very helpfully decided to conk out just before the weekend.
I was going to buy a new one but looking at the pipework suddenly questioned why we need one. It was installed before we bought the house. As far as I can see the water will all flow out without the need of a pump and we don't have any pumps attached to the utility room or downstairs bathroom wastes and don't have prombems. The only thing I do notice is that the ultimate waste pipe to which the sanivite discharges has a slightly smaller diameter to the pipes it serves.
Can I ask your views? Is there any reason I should not just buy a couple of push fit couplings and connect the sink pipework directly to the outflow waste pipe bypassing the saniflow or are there problems with doing this that I am not seeing do you think? THe previous owners also had a washing machine plumbed which we have relocated to the utility room and wondering if this was why it was installed? Anyway pic below.

Pipework is fairly self explanatory I think in pic - the flexible pipe on the extreme right is from the dishwasher and obviously the final outflow is the slightly smaller pipe right at the back. Really greateful for any views, even if they tell me I am being stupid! Thanks in advance.
All the best
