5. Setup and Installation

1. Placement: Position the macerator pump in a location that allows for easy connection to the wastewater fixtures and the main drainage system. Ensure it is accessible for future maintenance. The pump can be installed under a sink, behind a toilet, or within a cabinet.
2. Inlet Connections: Connect the wastewater outlets from your fixtures (e.g., shower, sink, washing machine) to the four available inlet ports on the pump. Use the provided hose clamps (32-50 mm) to secure these connections. The inner diameter of the inlet opening is 40 mm, and the outer diameter of the inlet connection is 50 mm.
3. Outlet Connection: Connect the pump's discharge outlet to your main drainage system. Ensure the check valve is installed correctly in the discharge line to prevent backflow. Use the appropriate hose clamps (90-110 mm or 110-120 mm) for a secure fit. The inner diameter of the outlet pipe connection is 100 mm, and the outer diameter is 106 mm.
4. Ventilation: Ensure the activated carbon filter is properly installed to manage odors.
5. Electrical Connection: Connect the pump to a grounded electrical outlet (220-240V, 50Hz). Ensure the circuit is protected by a residual current device (RCD).
6. Testing: After installation, run water through the connected fixtures to test for leaks and proper pump operation.
