Sololift for sewage - device, work and installation

When the scheme of the sewage system of the house provides for the installation of bathrooms in places where it is impossible to create a gravity flow of wastewater, sololift comes to the rescue. The pump installation is designed specifically to divert water from the basement or from remote locations. Simply put - sololift for sewage is used when the discharge point is located below the level of the main circuit.

Although the station has compact dimensions, its capacity is quite enough to bring any amount of water into the reservoir. Installation will not cause difficulties even in people who have never done plumbing work. In an apartment or house, the installation will not take up much space, and its operation is durable enough, which gives confidence in the reliability of the device and the sewage system as a whole.

Device

The industry produces sewage sololift of different types, thus providing an individual approach in terms of draining water from the bathroom or toilet.

The installations differ in their functionality and power, and in appearance they are sometimes difficult to distinguish from each other.

1. The case is sealed, made of high-strength polymeric materials.
2. The pump is connected to the housing and serves to pump the injected liquid. His work is automatic, it turns on after filling the chamber to a certain level.

1. The cutting impeller, which is included in the design of the system, allows you to immediately destroy large waste, preventing the sewer pipe from clogging.
2. The diameter of the inlet of the installation is 100 mm, which is enough to connect a standard outlet O 110 mm.

The station has enough power to raise wastewater from 5 to 100 m.

Advantages and disadvantages

Sololift is a modern solution to the problems arising with the removal of sewage, its price is quite high. In fact, they do not have flaws and are equipped with details that help to make installations convenient and almost perfect in their field of use.

Complements such flattering characteristics of a simple principle of operation.

Station types

Although all units are offered ready-made, they are functionally different from each other. It can be seen at the cost of the station and the method of its installation.

Consider the model in more detail:

1. Without a shredder for hot effluent - used to pump clean, high-temperature water, for example:

• kitchen sink;
• bathroom;
• dishwasher or washing machine.

This type is most effective when the kitchen, bathroom or laundry room is located at a great distance from the sewer riser. The station has a compact size, so it is attached to the wall, placed in a closet or hidden under the sink. The unit is equipped with a powerful pump and can withstand temperatures up to 90? С.

1. High-performance plant for hot effluent, but equipped with a grinder designed for grinding thick waste is able to work at temperatures up to 95? С.

Due to this, the station can be used almost everywhere, for:

• shells;
• bidet;
• shower cabin;
• toilet bowl.

Powerful knives easily recycle small items that accidentally fall into the toilet, or personal care products. Hard objects also will not bring the installation out of working condition.

1. For cold drains with a grinder, they are usually placed behind the toilet.. The latter makes it possible not to use sewer pipes of large diameter in the system. The special coupling connecting sololift with a toilet bowl is included in the package. Long and uninterrupted operation of the system is possible only at temperatures below 40? С.

The shredder of fecal waste is located at the top of the housing. With the help of a pump, the contents are fed through a drain pipe into a septic tank or sewer. To prevent the return of sewage discharge pipe should be equipped with a check valve. Due to the fact that the shredder is located in the upper part of the device, an object that has happened to be accidentally inside the case can destroy it.

1. For simultaneous work with a sink and a shower cabin, they use stations for cold drains without a chopper.. The devices are able to divert wastewater up to 100 m.

Tip: Make sure that the temperature of the effluent is not higher than 40? С.

Installation

When the theory is over, you can proceed to the installation work. Sololift, as mentioned above, does not require a mandatory invitation of a plumber to connect it to the sewage system. You can do it yourself.

The main thing is to make free access of water from the station to the sewer system. To do this, try to remove any obstacles that may prevent the installation of pushing the water up when it is placed in the basement.

Below is a manual of the installation process:

1. The distance from plumbing or walls to the pump is at least 10 mm.
2. Drain the shower enclosure connect to the lower points and equip it with a filter, eliminating the ingress of hair into the installation.
3. Consider before starting the pump the valve at its outlet to the sewer system to prevent the backflow of water.
4. Install vibration-proofing material under the pump.
5. Pipe connection must be tight and tight.

Tip: do not use metal screws or other elements that are not included in the installation kit, since everything is already provided in it.

1. After completing the pipe connection, energize the pump and check its operation.

You can use sololift with all types of pipes. Before switching on the pumping station, make sure that all fasteners and bolts are tightly tightened and the pipes are securely connected to the drainage system.

Conclusion

From the article you learned that, thanks to the sewer drain solo, you can install the laundry, kitchen, toilet and bathroom even in the basement. The device is capable of quickly pumping drains to the desired height, for supplying it to the main system for discharging dirty water.

Although the cost of the station can not be called cheap, but it allows you to solve a lot of problems. The video in this article will help you find additional information on this topic.
