5.1 Connecting Appliances
The pump features five universal Ø 40mm wastewater inlets and two outlets, allowing connection to multiple fixtures:
- Toilet: Connect the toilet outlet directly to the designated inlet on the macerator pump.
- Sink/Washbasin: Connect the drain hose from the sink or washbasin to one of the universal inlets.
- Shower/Bathtub: Connect the shower or bathtub drain to an available inlet. Ensure proper slope for gravity flow into the pump.
- Laundry/Kitchen: Connect the discharge from washing machines or kitchen sinks to the remaining inlets.
Use appropriate hose clamps and sealing rings for all connections to prevent leaks. The discharge pipe should be 1" or 1-1/4" or 1-1/2" diameter. Ensure the discharge pipe has a slight downward slope (minimum 2%) after any vertical lift to prevent standing water.

6. Operation
The MixBubole FLO900-TQS PRO macerator pump operates with a fully automatic ON/OFF mechanism and a PCB delay function for efficient and quiet performance.
6.1 Automatic Activation
The pump activates automatically when the water level inside the unit reaches approximately 3 inches and shuts off when the level drops to 2 inches. This ensures efficient drainage and prevents unnecessary cycling.

6.2 PCB Delay Function
The upgraded model includes a time delay function. This feature prevents the macerator pump from activating too frequently, contributing to quieter operation and energy savings. The pump runs for a short period after the water level drops to ensure the housing is clear.
6.3 Manual Drainage Test
A manual button is provided on the unit to allow for drainage tests or to clear the pump manually if needed. Refer to the product diagram for the location of this button.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your MixBubole macerator pump.
7.1 Cleaning and Debris Removal
In case of clogging, the cover on the top of the unit can be opened to access and agitate the blades, allowing for the removal of foreign objects without dismantling the entire water pump.

7.2 Odor Control
The pump features a new enclosed design that traps odors inside, eliminating the need for activated carbon filters and regular replacement. This design contributes to a cleaner and more pleasant environment.
