•The Sanitop should be installed to allow full access in the event that servicing and or removal is necessary.
movement during operation.
•The Sanitop must be coupled directly to the spigot (outlet) of the P-trap WC pan.
H
• Position the pump so that it is not in contact with a partition or wall of the room.
• Place the WC pan on a level surface to ensure that the foam feet are attached to the underside of the pump.
• Apply soapy water to the WC spigot and position the pan to the pump, ensuring that there is a 20mm gap between them. The reason for
this is two-fold 1. If in contact with the pump sound vibration occurs, and 2. the pump can be removed if service is needed.
• Locate pan collar onto front of the pump, ensuring small diameter opening is secured to the pump using plastic cable tie provided.
• Pull the pan collar over the pan spigot
• Position the metal hose clip (G) over the end of the pan collar and tighten with a screwdriver.
•
WARNING! THERE SHOULD BE NO WATER DRIPPING FROM THE WC CISTERN OR ANY OTHER SANITARY FIXTURE. IF THERE IS, THIS WILL CAUSE THE UNIT
TO ACTIVATE REPEATEDLY AND CAUSE THE PUMP MOTOR TO OVERHEAT AND MALFUNCTION. IMMEDIATELY CALL A SERVICE PLUMBER TO RECTIFY.

•The inlet port for a Vanity basin connection is located on top of theSanitop lid.
• If using the lid port use a stanley blade or hack-saw to remove the very top of the port to allow connection.
• Use rubber connectors and pipe clips (supplied) to make secure connections. Ensure connectors are facing in the right direction before
securing. See diagram Eon page 1.

• Pull the pan collar over the pan spigot
• Position the metal hose clip (G) over the end of the pan collar (Spigot end) and tighten with a screwdriver. Affi x plastic cable tie to other end of

Connections - Discharge outgoing waste water
Select discharge pipework as follows:-
•Vertical lifts must occur prior to any horizontal runs, except for the initial short run at the pump connection, this should be NO MORE than
300mm in length.
• Only ONE vertical lift is permitted in the discharge line, all changes of direction in the discharge line MUST be made with 45deg bends
rather than 90deg bends.
• For vertical pipework USE ONLY 20mm upvc (pressure pipe)
• Horizontal pipework ( following initial vertical lift ) can be upgraded by one size to 25mm.
• Once selection has been made, insert discharge elbow (supplied) into the rubber discharge pipe protruding from lid of theSanitop, trim
rubber connector to size and make connection between discharge elbow and upvc discharge pipe.
• Before securing all connections connect a PVC Ball Valve in the upvc pipework as near to the beginning of the discharge line as possible.
• Do NOT install a Non Return Valve (NRV) in the discharge line as the discharge elbow (supplied) incorporates an inbuilt nrv.
• All horizontal pipework that follows initial vertical lift must run with a constant Downhill gradient of 1:100 MIN (or better) to eventual
sewer or vent connection.

7. Electrical connection
The electrical installation should be carried out by a registered electrician.
The Sanitop pump is equiped with a 3 core electrical cable which contains Earth Active andNeutral wires,
it has a three pinmoulded plug attachment. All wires in this cable are colour coded in accordance with
International colour coding ie BROWN - ACTIVE ( LIVE), BLUE - NEUTRAL, GREEN / YELLOW - EARTH.
• All wiring connections and GPO locations must conform to AS/NZS 3000:2007 requirements.
• Supply must be protected via a 30mA RCD rated at 16amps, located at the switchboard.
•The Sanitop requires a 240V single phase 50 Hz AC power supply
• If a decision is made to hard wire, in the event that servicing is requried then cost to disconnect and re-connect will be at consumers expense.

8. Commissioning the SANITOP pump
BEFORE COMMISSIONING THE PUMP MAKE SURE ALL CONNECTIONS ARE SECURE AND WATER-TIGHT
Once ALL connections are secure and before you switch the power on, press the full ush button on your cistern and allow water to enter
and begin discharging into the discharge pipe system. Initial run time is normally between 5 -10 secs. Duration of run time is generally
determined by the length of travel in the pump-out line and type of waste, Pump operation will shut down after this time. Should the pump
continue running for longer than the recommended time, an installation or manufacturing problem may exist, immediately contact SANIFLO
on 03 9543 3891 and speak with a tech. suppor t person, they will be only too happy to assist.
The Sanitop pump conforms to Australian and New Zealand standards AS/NZS and Watermark approvals.
A lifting plant for waste water containing faecal matter and for limited applications, and to European directives and standards applicable to
Electrical and electromagnetic compatibility.

NOISE LEVELS
All Sani pumps (domestic rated) conform to the National Code of Practice for Noise Management and Protection of Hearing in a
workplace or domestic environs (NOHSC 2004-2009)
All Sanio grey water and macerator pumps are not in themselves very noisy and the sound of operation is generally not invasive.
However, noise levels can be increased/amplied due to sympathetic resonance from stud partitions, some oors and tight locations.
Example - decibel comparison
• People conversation (normal) 60-70 db
• Sanipumps (domestic) Max 65 db
• Toilet cistern ushing 75 db
• Vacuum cleaner 80 db

For the most part, any inconsistencies in the operation of the unit will be minor and easily rectied. Please refer to the chart below.
If the problem cannot be easily remedied in this way, please call us on 1300 554 779.
IN ALL CASES, YOU MUST DISCONNECT THE MACERATOR FROM THE POWER SUPPLY.
ALL WORK INVOLVING DISMANTLING OF THE APPLIANCE MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY AN APPROVED REPAIR AGENT.

All horizontal pipes should have a minimum fall of 1:100.
Discharge pipework should be solvent UPVC.
Do not “pushfit” pipework/fittings.
If a vertical rise is needed, this should be at the start of the run
(within 30cm of the unit).
Bends should be smooth/long radius, not tight elbows.
Examples of uPVC Pressure Pipe and fittings shown.
Waste Pipes entering the Saniflo unit should have a
gravity fall of 1:40
2 x 45˚ Offset
Plastic Elbows
Where the pipework falls below floor level, fit an air admittance
valve at the highest point capable of withstanding 10psi neg
pressure, or upsize pipe coming down to break syphonage.
Each Saniflo discharge pipe should run separately to the sewer/vent
pipe. If wastes are combined, it can only be connected to a larger pipe.
This pipe must gravity fall to connection point.
The unit should be easily accessible and removable in the event of service
or maintenance being required. If boxed in, the boxing should be easily
removed. Any extension between the WC pan spigot and wall should not
exceed 150mm and have a 1.40 fall.
As close coupled cistern dimensions vary it may be
necessary with certain designs to utilise a spacer between
cistern and wall.
Position the Saniflo unit directly behind the toilet pan,
not underneath it.
Connect to power according AS/NZS 3000: 2007 Electrical Regulation
as rules apply depending on location. In ALL CASES
supply must be protected by a 30mA RCD rated at 16A.
