Today is Earth Day and we’ve had water conservation on the brain. In Canada, we have 7% of the world’s reusable fresh water and this makes us feel as though we have an abundant supply. Yet, we are using it at a rate that we just can’t keep up with. Already, municipalities must put water conservation bans into place and encourage residents not to use excessive water during drought times. Did you know that on average 65% of our indoor water use comes from our bathroom habits? Saniflo knows all about bathroom water conservation and we have some tips. We can reduce our water consumption in the bathroom in many ways, such as changing shower heads and taking shorter showers, but what we would like to talk about today is changing our flushing habits. 1 in 3 Canadians use toilets inappropriately to flush tissues, insects and small garbage down the toilet. It seems like an easy way to get rid of waste but one flush in a conventional toilet can use up to 18 litres of water. This ...

Modern condos usually have a powder room and an ensuite bathroom in addition to the main bathroom, but older buildings are often lacking. The owner of this older Montreal condo came up with the idea of extending his laundry closet and transforming it into a laundry / powder room. BEFORE AFTER The Renovation Challenge: How to install a powder room in a condo where you can’t break-up the floor to install a sewer line? The Saniflo Solution: The SANITOP . The SANITOP is a small super quiet unit with a macerating pumping system that sits above the floor. With the use of this unit and the rear discharge toilet, our condo owner was able to add both a toilet and a sink into his laundry room without disturbing the floor. SANITOP , a simple solution for a condo bathroom renovation that greatly added convenience and value to the space.

2013 is Saniflo Canada ’s 25 th birthday year! Since coming to Canada, Saniflo has grown significantly and leads the market in macerating and grinding system development and innovation. But… you already knew that!

The systems use a fast-rotating blade to liquefy waste and toilet paper in the flush water, which is then discharged under pressure through small-bore piping to a drainage line or soil stack.

When undergoing bathroom renovations, have you ever considered installing a shower in your home only to discover that the necessary drainpipes don’t exist? This is a common problem, but homeowners will be relieved to hear that Saniflo has a solution: the SANISHOWER. The SANISHOWER is an under counter pump that removes wastewater from a sink or shower into a 3 or 4-inch sanitary drain, and can be installed without any major renovations. The unit is a discreet under counter pump that is small enough to fit underneath a raised shower base or vanity. It is designed to connect to the vent system of the house, and can be attached to fixtures such as a shower, vanity sink or kafe sink.
