600W 110V Macerator Sewerage Pump Waste Water Marine Toilet Bathroom Disposal Laundry

My basement kitchen sewer/drain pipes completely died. I was faced with the possibility of hacking all of the cement floor (and thus my basement kitchen, bathroom and living space) to find and replace the failing metal pipe.I was going to have to find a place to live AND destroy my home AND fix it up afterward. $30k is obviously conservative.THEN, I found this Trupow pump after learning about some much more expensive Sanif*** products.This Trupow pump fit under my kitchen sink. I ran the waste pipe vertically behind the wall. I took a chance and used .75 inch PVC vertical pipe. Then, for the declining horizontal portion, I used 1 inch pvc. Then, when the pipe exited the house, I coupled the 1 inch pipe to a 1.25 inch pvc. And then I ran that around the side of the house to the cleanout. Everything works beautifully.The Trupow has an automatic switch when it is plugged in. Greywater goes in. The water level reaches a certain point. Trupow turns on. Voila! You have drain water shooting up vertically!SAVED! The trupow works like a champ. Totally reliable. Thanks, Trupow!!

The product works as described and actually pretty quiet. But to be fair I was replacing a saniflo that was 10 years old. The previous home owner was a DIY Hack.... I would give it 5 stars but the provided adapters did not work for any of the normal sized American piping that's installed in the house.... the instruction booklet is laughable at best... 8 pages that really say nothing of consequence of how to install the unit.... all of the figures that are provided in the booklet are on one page and if your eyesight isn't 20/20 then your gonna have trouble reading them

I encountered a significant challenge with the product due to the non-US sizing of the inlet and outlet, which are metric rather than standard. It required considerable effort to find and fit a 3" rubber coupler for the main inlet. Upon installation in the basement, I quickly realized that without adequate soundproofing, the noise levels are disruptive to the point where it is impossible for someone to sleep in the upstairs bedroom. The noise even permeates to the second floor, making it an unsuitable solution for residential use. This experience was disappointing, especially considering the misleading advertising that depicts a baby peacefully sleeping while the product is running. This misrepresentation does not align with the actual noise output and functionality of the product.

Replaced an Ascent II from another brand that is 4x more expensive. Had to re route some plumbing, but glad I made the switch. Materials are slightly thinner than the one I replaced, but cleaning it, clearing debris, and maintenance is much easier than the old one.I'd rather replace this one every 3 years if needed than to continuously have to work on the old one to get 10 years out of it.

Works as advertised so far. I first ordered from another vendor (s. venus) and one week later I received a known Broken unit. Then they would not pay for a return. file claimed.So, I ordered from Trupow, showed up 2 days later and works perfectly. I will change this if there are any issues but so far so good. Have upflush working and bathroom finished.Tips:I added a piece from a drain tailpiece (about 1.25") to the inside of the output elbow to allow clamp to securly grab it and make it rigid.The vent pipe and the output pipe are both 1.5". I used 45 degree angles only for output. 90 degree are fine for venting. I attached to a vent on the first floor. I added a cap to the unused end to ensure no leaks. I used 1.5" to 1.25" rubber couplers for the drain from sink and the vent pipe to the unit since the hole was a bit smaller. I added a check valve to ensure no water would fall back into the unit. W/o the extra checkvalve the unit would run over and over.The pipe from commode to mascerator is 3" pvc and attaches to commode via 3" to 4" rubber coupler (bought from Amzn Fernco Inc. P1056-43 4 3-Inch Stock Fernco 1056-43 Coupling). The pipe was purchased form local hardware store and much more rigid then those flexible pipes. Just cut to size and use existing Mascerator coupler and but the 3" to 4"coupler. Easy. See pics.

The media could not be loaded. Bought this to replace a saniplus macerator which suddenly stopped working. I reused all existing plumbing, including the toilet and tank.Adjustments:1. Water inlet from sink did not align, easily fixed by adjusting pipe from sink to align with water inlet.2. Waste outlet had to be extended over to the right side of the unit. I extended the existing 3/4” outlet pipe and left it with an angle to prevent backflow.Issues encountered:1. Not enough clamps. 3 clamps are just not enough for this job. I reused a few from the old macerator.2. Drip leaks at both water inlet. Will tighten clamps more and provide an update.3. Louder than the saniplus unit, but nothing crazy.Easy to install and great value

It did the job. Barley lasted.

This is a really easy system to install and will save you lots of time and money verse traditional system in basement on cement. Just keep little plastic kids toys out of the system or the pump macerater blade will fail!
