Setup and Installation
The Liberty Pumps ASCENTII-ESW Macerating Toilet System allows for bathroom additions and remodeling without the need for breaking concrete floors. Follow these steps for proper installation:
- Site Preparation: Choose a suitable location for the floor-mounted toilet. Ensure access to a 115V electrical outlet and appropriate plumbing connections for water supply and discharge.
- Positioning the Unit: Carefully place the macerating toilet system in its desired location. The unit is designed for floor-mounted installation.
- Water Supply Connection: Connect the water supply line to the toilet's fill valve. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Discharge Plumbing: Connect the discharge pipe from the macerating unit to the main drain line. Ensure proper slope for gravity flow where applicable, and secure all connections. The system features advanced RazorCut technology for efficient waste maceration before discharge.
- Electrical Connection: Plug the unit into a dedicated 115V electrical outlet. Ensure the circuit meets the power requirements of the 1/2 HP motor.
- Toilet Seat Installation: Attach the included toilet seat to the vitreous china bowl according to the instructions provided with the seat hardware.
- Testing: Once all connections are secure, turn on the water supply and check for leaks. Flush the toilet several times to ensure proper operation of the macerating pump and discharge.

Operating Instructions
The Liberty Pumps ASCENTII-ESW Macerating Toilet System operates similarly to a standard toilet, with the added benefit of an integrated macerating pump.
- Flushing: After use, depress the flush handle. The toilet will initiate a 1.28 GPF (Gallons Per Flush) cycle.
- Maceration Cycle: The integrated pump will automatically activate to macerate waste and pump it to the drain line. The pump will run for a short period until the waste is cleared.
- Refill: The toilet bowl will then refill with fresh water, ready for the next use.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your macerating toilet system.
- Routine Cleaning: Clean the toilet bowl and exterior surfaces regularly using standard non-abrasive toilet cleaners. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage plastic or rubber components.
- Electrode Cleaning: Periodically, mineral buildup can occur on the electrical probes (electrodes) within the macerating unit, which detect water levels and activate the pump. If the unit runs continuously or fails to pump, disconnect power, access the macerator unit (often via a removable service panel), and carefully clean the electrodes with a brush and mild detergent. Reconnect power and test.
- Cutter Area Access: The unit features a removable service panel that provides quick access to the cutter area without disconnecting the plumbing. This allows for inspection or clearing of obstructions if necessary. Always disconnect power before opening the service panel.
- Winterization: If the unit is in an unheated area, ensure it is properly drained and winterized to prevent freezing damage.
Troubleshooting
Refer to the following table for common issues and their solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit does not pump or activate. | No power; clogged electrodes; motor failure. | Check power supply. Clean electrodes (see Maintenance). Contact support if motor issue suspected. |
| Unit runs continuously or for too long. | Clogged electrodes; foreign object in pump; faulty sensor. | Clean electrodes (see Maintenance). Disconnect power and inspect cutter area via service panel for obstructions. Contact support if issue persists. |
| Toilet is leaking. | Loose connections; damaged seals. | Inspect all plumbing connections and tighten as needed. Check seals and gaskets for damage and replace if necessary. |
| Unusual noise during operation. | Foreign object in macerator; worn motor bearings. | Disconnect power and inspect cutter area for foreign objects. If noise persists, contact support. |
