Washine machine more than 5m from waste pipe.

Neither the Saniflo nor the Grundfos or the washing pump can be used the way you want to run the pipe.

Just remember bigsi it will pump uphill to start with but even macaraetors must fall downhill after a certain distance and u cant link any foul drainage into same machine. But youd have to be precise in the positioning of macaraetor to accomadate incoming pumped water and outgoing pumped water.

Sold the washing machine and bought a tin bath and wash board......job done!!!!!!

Macerators have cutting blades, Grey water pumps don`t. The Sanivite must discharge in 32mm but the Grundfos C-3 can discharge through 21.5mm white waste pipe. Both manufactures state fitting a stand pipe with an air gap.

Can i join your skiffle band? 🙂

Seriously though post your location there may be somebody who can call round and get you going in the right direction. At the least, take note of rpm he knows his stuff with regard to the sanis etc.

The saga continues (thanks guy for all the help)!


After speaking to the technical department as SaniFlow, this was suggested.


Install a waste down pipe behind the washing machine (like a normal kitchen), and place the waste hose into it. Run the waste pipe around behind the kick boards using a 1/100 drop, and in to a Sanivite grey water pump fixed to the floor below the sink (cut hole in unit base). Then connect the Sanivite to a washing machine sink trap.

Hope I never have to service it.

Don`t forget to factor in the distance between floor and side inlet when you do the 1/100 fall.

Bit of a mental design that. Wouldn't fancy a pump in my kitchen, they can be quite noisey.

Sure, you'd barely hear it over the washing machine!

I`ve got grave doubts that what the guy at Saniflo told you will actually work unless the stand pipe is say 5ft high.
My kitchen kick boards are 165mm and in there you are putting 32mm pipe with a minimum "fall" of 10mm per m over 5m plus the height of the side inlet from the floor (can`t use top one in this case) which is say 50mm. So 32+50+50 = 132mm leaving 33mm BUT the vite will not activate until the water inside is 105mm high hence the high stand pipe at the start which might create enough force of water (Might)
I think I would advise trying it first in the back garden mate but then you can`t return the £400 pump for a refund can you?

PM me the name of the guy / girl at Saniflo if you have it?
