Toilet with built in shredder pump
Technology does not stand still, there is a constant development, improvement, creation of new, advanced devices.
This also applies to plumbing devices. If earlier we could only connect the shredder by purchasing and installing a special shredder pump, today manufacturers offer ready-to-use toilets, in which the shredder is a constructive component.
Agree, it is much easier to buy a simple looking toilet bowl with a sewage pump, rather than look for a separate box, calculate its parameters, install it inside the room, hide it behind a decorative casing and so on.
Features
- The shredder is a structural part of the toilet bowl;
- Other devices such as the sink, washing machine are connected to it;
- There is no cistern, as in conventional toilets. It is simply not required;
- When you turn on the drain button opens the water supply from the water system, automatically activates the macerator;
- It has a pressure requirement of at least 1.7 atm in the water supply.
The integrated shredder makes it possible to make a functional and highly efficient bathroom in a rather limited space. That is, you do not need to expand the toilet area or sacrifice furniture, other bathroom fixtures and appliances.
There is also no need to find a separate place for the pump-shredder, which is usually placed behind the cistern.
Modern systems are equipped with a flushing system, so the cistern is no longer required. Consequently, the installation process is greatly simplified, saving space, solving the problem of condensation that settles on the walls of the cistern of a conventional toilet.
Another feature is the presence of additional sewer inlets. They allow you to connect washing machines, sinks.
The task of the toilet with a built-in macerator is to divide into smaller fractions of feces and other components falling into the toilet, and pumping the flow into the centralized sewage system or septic tank, if it is a private home.
Toilets with built-in shredders are largely similar in principle to the kitchen sinks with a waste chopper. Agree, it is very convenient and practical. In the toilet such a system significantly reduces the risk of clogging. This is relevant for families with young children who have not yet learned not to throw everything in the toilet.
