Install an Extra Bath in Half a Day and Restore Family Harmony

GUELPH, Ontario, Oct. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- If tempers flare when your family waits their turn, it's time to add an extra bath in your home. Now there's a home-improvement option that lets you skip the hassle, mess and high cost of plumbing renovation, and install a beautiful spare bath or powder room in as little time as a half-day.

With this innovative, "above-ground" plumbing system, homeowners can have an extra bathroom anywhere they choose -- even below the sewage line -- without any digging through floors. The Saniflo fixtures can be installed right atop finished floors: in a basement, attic, spare bedroom, even under a stairway or inside a closet.

Using what is known as "macerating" technology, the system works a little differently than conventional plumbing, but the end result is every bit as clean, quiet and effective. Looking very much like a conventional toilet, a macerating toilet takes up roughly the same amount of floor space. But instead of routing the flush water through a drain in the floor, the system moves it to a special pump, housed in a box that is usually located on the floor between the toilet and the wall. Or the pump box can be hidden behind the wall.

Inside, the macerator pump uses a fast-rotating blade to liquefy waste and toilet paper in the flush water. The waste is released under pressure through small-diameter piping to the sewer or septic tank. The technology requires no special maintenance, and the pump is sealed for life.

Only one manufacturer makes a macerating toilet system: SFA Saniflo Inc. Properly sized, a Saniflo toilet system can handle all the fixtures in a bathroom, including the toilet, sink, tub and shower -- even on a septic system. What's more, these fixtures will work up to 12 feet below and as far as 150 feet away from a septic tank or sewer line.

Saniflo macerating systems are available to do-it-yourselfers at hardware stores and can be purchased through plumbing wholesalers and contractors. All Saniflo toilets are low-consumption; certain models can be used with any brand toilet on the market.

So if you're tired of being a hallway traffic cop, maybe it's time to enhance your home with a Saniflo bath. Macerating systems are changing the way America remodels. At greatly reduced labor costs and with superior installation flexibility, Saniflo systems are a high-quality, economical home improvement.
