Installation
Safety Precautions:
- Ensure the power supply is disconnected before beginning installation.
- All electrical connections must comply with local codes and regulations.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during installation.
- If you are unsure about any step, consult a qualified plumber or electrician.
General Installation Tips:
- Pipe Selection: Purchase pipes of corresponding specifications for proper connection. For the outlet pipe, a smaller diameter can result in a higher lift height.
- Placement: The system can be installed behind the toilet or behind a wall using an extension pipe (sold separately) for flexible space settings.
- Inlet Covers: If not all inlets are used, ensure the remaining inlets are securely closed with the included covers to prevent leaks.
- Ventilation: The pump has a built-in vent to optimize performance and reduce odors. Ensure proper ventilation around the unit.
- No Destructive Modifications: This rear discharge toilet system is designed for easy installation without requiring destructive modifications to walls.

Operation
The VEVOR FLO800 Macerating Toilet System operates automatically. When the toilet is flushed or wastewater enters the pump from connected fixtures, the macerator pump activates to grind and discharge the waste.
- Flushing: Use the dual-flush mechanism on the toilet cistern. Select the appropriate flush volume for liquid or solid waste.
- Automatic Activation: The pump will automatically start when water levels rise within the unit, indicating waste needs to be processed.
- Noise Level: The grinding process is designed to be quiet, operating at approximately 40 decibels, which is generally not disruptive.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your macerating toilet system.
- Cleaning the Toilet: The ceramic toilet is designed for easy cleaning. Use standard toilet bowl cleaners. Avoid harsh abrasives that could damage the surface.
- Preventing Clogs:
- Do not flush anything other than human waste and toilet paper.
- Avoid flushing feminine hygiene products, wet wipes (even "flushable" ones), paper towels, dental floss, or other non-biodegradable items.
- For connected sinks and showers, use drain strainers to prevent hair and large debris from entering the pump.
- Pump Inspection: Periodically check the pump unit for any unusual noises or leaks. If any issues are detected, disconnect power and consult the troubleshooting section or a qualified technician.
