SANIVITE + SOLVES LAUNDRY DRAINAGE CHALLENGE IN STAFFORDSHIRE HOME
A domestic property in Alton, Staffordshire sits in an elevated position with driveway and compact stone garage beneath the level of the house. The laundry room is housed in the garage which presented a common but problematic drainage issue: no direct access to the drainage system.
Waste water needed to be pumped upwards to the existing soil stack. After a flood caused by an incorrectly specified macerator pump, homeowner Ed Shenton sought a purpose-built solution and turned to Saniflo’ s Sanivite +— a pump designed specifically to handle hot, soapy grey water from domestic appliances.
“ The previous unit simply wasn’ t designed for washing machine discharge,” says Shenton.“ The Sanivite + has been completely reliable since installation. It runs quietly and efficiently, and I was able to fit it myself with minimal changes to the existing pipework.”
Unlike standard macerator pumps designed for toilet waste, the Sanivite + is engineered to handle the unique demands of grey water from washing machines, dishwashers, and sinks. The unit automatically detects incoming water and discharges it efficiently and quietly.
“ This is exactly the type of situation the Sanivite + was designed for,” says Amanda Mills, Marketing Manager at SFA Saniflo UK.“ Many homeowners and installers don’ t realise that using the wrong pump can lead to failures and flooding. The Sanivite + is purpose-built for grey water applications, which is why it delivers reliable, long-term performance where other solutions fall short.”
With multiple inlets and the ability to pump up to 5 metres vertically or 50 metres horizontally— enough to reach drainage points in most domestic settings— the Sanivite + also offers flexibility for future additions such as a utility sink or additional appliances.
Manufactured in France, the Sanivite + is widely specified in utility rooms, kitchens, and garages where gravity drainage is not possible, making it ideal for conversions, extensions, and belowground installations.

PREMIER TECH ENHANCE THEIR RANGE OF REWATEC SUBMERGED AERATED FILTER( SAF) SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANTS
Premier Tech Water and Environment has enhanced their range of Rewatec SAF sewage treatment plants to combine energy efficiency with an exceptionally high wastewater treatment performance.
As part of the redesign, the Rewatec SAF now features an internal baffle in the primary chamber to assist with the removal of solids and organics, and to prevent potential blockages downstream. A new pipe arrangement to optimise the level of oxygen induced into the biozone chamber, also improves the operational efficiency of wastewater treatment. Other unique attributes such a simpler manifold design and a new manifold extension kit increase the overall reliability of the plant, whilst also making it easier to install, commission, service and maintain.
All Rewatec SAF plants are supplied with a robust kiosk to house the electronic and mechanical componentry required to operate the system. Innovative features such as temperature and pressure alarms and air filter monitoring are included as standard, with options such as acoustic lining and GSM and / or BMS communication for remote plant monitoring, available upon request.
A variable speed three phase blower to increase efficiency, reduce energy usage, reduce costs and lower the overall carbon footprint, can be installed within the kiosk on all plants above 100 PE. An optional probe can also be supplied to regulate the air supply in the biozone chamber, again maximising energy efficiency whilst reducing cost for the end user.
Designed, manufactured and tested in accordance with EN12566-3 for plants below 50PE, EN12255 for plants above 50PE and the British Water Code of Practice for Flows and Loads, the Rewatec SAF is capable of meeting strict effluent standards that exceed UK environmental discharge requirements, for a range of on-site applications that don’ t have access to the main sewage network.
