Installation Guide

The SANIFLO Saniaccess 3 system is designed for flexible installation, particularly in areas where conventional drainage is not available. It can be installed up to 15 feet below the sewer line or 150 feet away from a soil stack.

Pre-Installation Considerations:

• Ensure adequate water supply and electrical connection are available at the installation site.
• Plan the routing for the discharge pipe (3/4" or 1" rigid pipe) and the vent connection (1-1/2" vent connection). All plumbing codes require connection to a vent system.
• The Saniaccess 3 requires connection to Saniflo's 1.28 GPF/4.8 LPF rear discharge toilet.
• The system accepts wastewater from additional fixtures (sink, shower/bathtub, urinal) via 2" inlets with built-in check valves.

General Installation Steps (Consult full manual for detailed instructions):

1. Position the Saniaccess 3 pump behind the toilet or concealed behind a wall, ensuring proper clearance for connections and maintenance access.
2. Connect the toilet's rear outlet to the Saniaccess 3 pump.
3. Connect any additional gray water fixtures (sink, shower, etc.) to the designated 2" inlets on the pump.
4. Install the discharge pipe from the pump to the main sewer line, ensuring proper slope and adherence to local plumbing codes.
5. Connect the vent system to the 1-1/2" vent connection on top of the pump.
6. Secure all connections with appropriate clamps and sealants to prevent leaks.
7. Connect the pump to a dedicated electrical outlet.
8. Test the system thoroughly for proper operation and absence of leaks.

Operation

The SANIFLO Saniaccess 3 operates automatically. When the toilet is flushed or wastewater from connected fixtures enters the pump, the internal macerating blade activates. This blade grinds solid waste and toilet paper into a fine slurry, which is then pumped under pressure through the small-diameter discharge pipe to the main sewer line or soil stack. The system is designed for quiet and efficient operation.

• The pump activates when the water level inside reaches a certain point, ensuring all waste is processed and discharged.
• The built-in check valves prevent backflow of wastewater into the fixtures.
• Avoid flushing foreign objects (e.g., sanitary products, wet wipes, excessive paper, chemicals) that are not biodegradable or designed for macerating systems, as this can cause blockages or damage.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your SANIFLO Saniaccess 3 system. The design includes features to simplify routine checks and servicing.

• Access Panels: The Saniaccess 3 features two easy-access service panels on top. One panel provides access to the electrical components and level sensor, while the other allows access to the macerating blade for inspection or removal of foreign objects. Always disconnect power before opening these panels.
• Cleaning: Periodically clean the toilet bowl and connected fixtures using non-abrasive, non-acidic cleaners. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the pump's internal components.
• Foreign Objects: If the pump becomes noisy or fails to operate correctly, it may indicate a foreign object obstructing the macerating blade. Utilize the dedicated access panel to inspect and carefully remove any obstructions after ensuring the power is disconnected.
• Ventilation: Ensure the vent system connected to the pump remains clear and unobstructed to allow for proper air circulation and prevent pressure issues.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your SANIFLO Saniaccess 3 system, consider the following common troubleshooting steps before contacting support:

• Pump Not Activating:
  • Check if the unit is properly plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Verify that the circuit breaker has not tripped.
  • Ensure the water level in the pump is sufficient to activate the float switch.
• Unusual Noises or Vibrations:
  • This often indicates a foreign object caught in the macerating blade. Disconnect power and use the access panel to inspect and remove any obstructions.
  • Check for loose connections or pipes that might be vibrating against surfaces.
• Slow Drainage or Blockage:
  • Ensure that only human waste and toilet paper are being flushed. Avoid flushing non-biodegradable items.
  • Check the discharge pipe for any kinks or obstructions.
  • Verify that the vent system is not blocked.
• Leaking:
  • Inspect all connections (toilet, sink, discharge, vent) for proper sealing and tightness.
  • Check the condition of rubber gaskets and clamps.

For persistent issues or problems not resolved by these steps, please refer to the detailed troubleshooting section in the complete product manual or contact SANIFLO customer support.
