Homeowners who are looking to install a Saniflo pump in their home are likely overwhelmed by the various options and features available.

With the right guidance, however, homeowners can make an informed decision about which Saniflo pump is best suited for their home’s needs.

This comprehensive guide to choosing the right Saniflo pump for your home will take you through some of the most important factors to consider, such as the type of pump, the power of the pump, and the cost of installation.

With this guide, you’ll be able to make the right choice and rest easy knowing that you’ve chosen the perfect Saniflo pump for your home.

At the bottom of this guide we breakdown different Saniflo models to help inform.

 

Types of Saniflo Pumps

There are five different types of Saniflo pumps available: –

– Standard gravity pumps – Standard gravity pumps are the most cost-effective Saniflo pumps on the market. While they are not particularly powerful, they are great for lighter drainage needs, including bathroom sinks and toilets.

– Standard pressure pumps – Standard pressure pumps are best suited for shower and sink drainage. While they are not powerful enough to handle washing machine or kitchen sink drainage, they do provide a higher level of pressure than standard gravity pumps.

– High-pressure pumps – High-pressure pumps are best suited for washing machine drainage and other heavy-duty applications. They are more expensive than standard pressure pumps, but they provide a much higher level of pressure.

– Dual-pressure pumps – Dual-pressure pumps are ideal for homeowners who have a range of drainage applications in their home. They are able to switch between low-pressure and high-pressure settings to meet the needs of different applications. They are not as powerful as high-pressure pumps, but they are significantly more versatile.

– Vertical pumps – Vertical pumps are not really a type of pump as much as they are a specific way of using an existing Saniflo pump. They are best suited for situations where space is a real issue, such as in renovated properties or properties with unusually high ceilings.

Power of the Pump

When purchasing a Saniflo pump, one of the most important factors to consider is the pump’s power. This refers to the amount of pressure that the pump is able to generate, which will determine the kind of applications for which it is best suited.

– Standard gravity pumps – Standard gravity pumps are the most cost-effective choice for homeowners. They are not particularly powerful, though, so they are best suited for light drainage needs, such as bathroom sinks and toilets.

– Standard pressure pumps – Standard pressure pumps are best suited for shower and sink drainage. While they are not powerful enough to handle washing machine or kitchen sink drainage, they do provide a higher level of pressure than standard gravity pumps.

– High-pressure pumps – High-pressure pumps are best suited for washing machine drainage and other heavy-duty applications. They are more expensive than standard pressure pumps, but they provide a much higher level of pressure.

Cost of Installation

Another factor to consider when purchasing a Saniflo pump is the cost of installation. Depending on the type of pump that you select, the installation can range from simple and straightforward to complex and costly.

– Standard gravity pumps – Standard gravity pumps are very cost-effective, but they require the most effort in terms of installation. They are installed on a vertical wall and the discharge pipe must run vertically to the ground. This can be a tricky task, especially in older homes that may not have enough space for the pipe to run down the wall and through the floor.

– Standard pressure pumps – Standard pressure pumps are just a bit more complicated to install than standard gravity pumps because they require a discharge hose. However, this hose can usually be connected to the discharge pipe and run vertically to the ground. This makes installation a bit easier than in the case of standard gravity pumps.

– High-pressure pumps – High-pressure pumps are significantly more complex to install than standard pressure or standard gravity pumps. They require a discharge hose and a discharge pump, which must be installed in the basement. This means that a plumber will be required for installation, which can significantly increase the cost of installation.

– Dual-pressure pumps – Dual-pressure pumps are a bit more complex to install than standard pressure and standard gravity pumps because they require a discharge pump. However, unlike high-pressure pumps, they do not require a discharge hose and can be installed in the basement. This makes installation slightly less expensive than with high-pressure pumps.

Maintenance Requirements

All Saniflo pumps require a certain level of maintenance, but some are easier to maintain than others. Depending on the model, you might be responsible for cleaning debris from the pump, checking and changing the filter, or even replacing parts on a regular basis.

– Standard gravity pumps – Standard gravity pumps are fairly easy to maintain. Once a year, you should check the filter for debris and replace it if necessary. You should also check the pump for any abnormalities, such as a leak or a clog, and schedule maintenance as needed.

– Standard pressure pumps – Standard pressure pumps are easy to maintain, provided that you have a central filter that takes care of a majority of the maintenance. If so, you should check the filter regularly and clean it when necessary. It may also be necessary to change the filter once or twice a year. – High-pressure pumps

– High-pressure pumps are a bit more complex to maintain than standard pressure and standard gravity pumps. They require a sanitising process once every three months, which is relatively simple to do, but it does add some extra maintenance to the process.

– Dual-pressure pumps – Dual-pressure pumps are a bit more complex to maintain than standard pressure and standard gravity pumps. They require a sanitising process once every three months, which is relatively simple to do, but it does add some extra maintenance to the process.

Noise Level

The noise level of a Saniflo pump is another important factor to consider. Depending on the model, some Saniflo pumps can be embarrassingly loud, while others are quiet enough to run while you’re sleeping.

– Standard gravity pumps – Standard gravity pumps are generally not very loud. Some can be a little noisy, but they are not particularly distracting. Still, they are not the quietest option available and will likely be noticeable in a quiet space. – Standard pressure pumps

– Standard pressure pumps are a bit louder than standard gravity pumps because they use a pressure release valve. They are still quieter than many high-pressure pumps and are not likely to be bothersome.

– High-pressure pumps – High-pressure pumps are the noisiest option available. They are just as loud as a kitchen sink or washing machine and are likely to be very distracting in a quiet space.

– Dual-pressure pumps – Dual-pressure pumps are generally not very noisy. Some can be a little loud, but they are not particularly distracting. They are not the quietest option available, but they are not likely to be bothersome.

Reliability

The reliability of a Saniflo pump is another important factor to consider. Some Saniflo pumps have a reputation for being more reliable than others. – Standard gravity pumps

– Standard gravity pumps are generally not very reliable. They are built to be cost-effective, and as a result, they are not built to last as long as more expensive pumps. – Standard pressure pumps

– Standard pressure pumps are a bit more reliable than standard gravity pumps. They are built with higher quality materials and are a bit more durable. – High-pressure pumps – High-pressure pumps are generally very reliable. They are built with higher quality materials and are a bit more durable.

– Dual-pressure pumps – Dual-pressure pumps are generally very reliable. They are built with higher quality materials and are a bit more durable.
