How do I decide between a macerator and a lifting station for my bathroom?

A macerator grinds toilet waste as well as grey water, so it's the right choice if you want a standard toilet in a location where the soil pipe can't reach. A lifting station is usually used to pump away grey water from basins or showers and is less suited to handling solids. On this range you'll see three macerator models and one lifting station; if you plan a full bathroom with a WC, choose a macerator rather than a lifting station.

How many inlets do I need and what do they actually mean?

The inlet number tells you how many separate fixtures can connect directly to the unit, 3 inlets will typically take a toilet, basin and shower. If you only want a shower and basin, a 2-inlet unit will be enough. If you might add a bidet, a second basin or a utility drain later, opt for a 4-inlet model for future flexibility.

Which model is best for a compact basement bathroom where space is tight?

The Flo-Force Max Slim is designed for tight spaces, it's described as slim, compact and still has four inlets so it handles a full bathroom despite a small footprint. Placing the unit behind the WC or in a shallow cupboard will keep it out of sight and reduce perceived noise. If you're prioritising compact fit above all, the Max Slim is the most space-friendly option in this range.

Is it worth paying more for the Ultra model with a high grade motor casing?

The Ultra's high grade motor casing improves durability and resistance to wear, which can be worthwhile if the bathroom sees heavy, frequent use or you want a longer-lasting unit. It's priced higher than the Extra model (at a lower price point versus the current product price), so you're paying for increased robustness and peace of mind. For a seldom-used guest loo the cheaper Extra may be fine; for a family bathroom the Ultra's build quality is a sensible investment.

Can I leave spare inlets unused, and is it better to buy extra capacity now?

Yes, you can cap off and leave spare inlets unused, so buying a unit with more inlets doesn't force you to connect fixtures immediately. Choosing an extra-inlet model now avoids having to upgrade later if you add a basin or shower. buying the 4-inlet Max Slim gives you room to expand even if you only connect a toilet and basin today.

Low Cost Macerators

Macerators are great for creating bathrooms or utility rooms in your home. They allow the disposal of waste water where your standard plumbing system can’t reach which means that old basement can finally have a productive use by having a toilet in it! The only thing better than these kinds of capabilities are the price. Our Low Cost Macerators are just as efficient, just as quiet, and just as compact as other macerators on the market but are sold for a much more affordable price.

Macerators are quite a technical product, so don't rush in! Take your time to understand what's important and what isn't by reading our FREE Instant Download guide.
