Grundfos Poo Pump

[MortarThePoint]

I'm considering a Grundfos Sololift2 WC-1 macerator over a Saniflo Santitop UP for a WC+basin situation. They seem cheaper which makes me nervous as Saniflo are the known brand. The Grundfos one looks better made though. Does anyone have any experience with either unit?

 

If you've installed the Grundfos Sololift2 WC-1, is the installation guide just saying it needs to go horizontally in something larger before it goes down to 22/25/28mm?

The larger bit of pipe (500mm section) is a non-rigid / semi-flexible piece of pipe used to mitigate vibration / nuisance noise throughout the downstream discharge pipework   

 

You can convert to ‘rigid’ PVC or copper after that. 👍.

 

Only ever fitted Saniflows sorry, but I doubt Grundfos wouldn’t be comparable tbh.

 

Next issues will be how high up you need to pump etc. Needs to comply with the installation diagram in case of a warranty claim. 
 

For completeness, I’d rather 💩 in a bucket than fit one of these.
