Powder room perfection with Saniflo’s Sanicompact

Many homeowners face the same renovation dilemma – the need for an additional bathroom in a space that’s either too small or would involve costly construction work. Luckily, SANIFLO® gives homeowners the freedom to choose where they want to install a new bathroom, laundry or kitchen, with above-floor plumbing systems that utilize innovative up flush technology.
"One of our basements 
most glaring issues 
was the lack of a bathroom."

This fall, SANIFLO worked with homeowners Ed and Robin to help them choose the best plumbing solution for their basement powder room installation. They were looking to turn a tiny 44”x43” storage closet into a functioning bathroom for their family and overnight guests. With no plumbing rough-in and wanting to keep costs and construction minimal, SANIFLO suggested the SANICOMPACT® for their renovation needs. 
 “Homeowners get really excited when they learn that our toilets are just like regular toilets, with the advantage that they pump waste up and away to an existing soil stack, eliminating the need for expensive construction to break the floor,” explains Ross Evans, National Sales Manager for SANIFLO Canada.
If you’ve got a tight space in which a conventional toilet won’t fit, the SANICOMPACT, a self-contained system with a built-in macerating pump is the perfect solution for a powder room, half-bathroom or other small space renovations. It’s a great choice for homeowners looking for an affordable, space-saving option because if its novel, tankless design and built-in components.
“You can put them virtually anywhere and if you are handy with the plumbing there's a good chance you can install them yourself.” 
The SANICOMPACT can handle the effluent from the toilet and a sink connection and can pump up to 9ft vertically and 100ft horizontally, with gravity fall. It uses minimal amounts of water and doesn’t need to be connected to a vent stack.
“From a practical standpoint, the best parts were that it allowed us to add a sink and toilet without breaking up the concrete floor and without using the space a conventional toilet would have taken,” says homeowner Ed.
Like all SANIFLO systems, the SANICOMPACT connects to your existing plumbing network and requires no rough-in, which means you can install it almost anywhere in your home. And, since there is no need to break the concrete or do any major construction, installation can be completed in as little as one day with less mess to worry about, making SANIFLO systems DIY-friendly. Not only do you save time, but you also save money on expensive renovation costs like equipment rentals and concrete removal.
