Setup and Installation
The Flodream Macerating Toilet system is designed for straightforward installation, eliminating the need for complex venting or connection to a traditional vent stack. The package includes the toilet bowl, tank, pump, soft-close toilet seat, and all necessary mounting accessories.
Components Overview
Figure 2: Macerator Pump Components. This diagram illustrates the various inlets and outlets on the macerator pump, including the toilet inlet, sink inlet, shower inlet, multi-size sewage outlet, non-return elbow, spare water inlet, emergency switch, and a place for activated carbon.
- Macerator Pump: The central unit for waste grinding and pumping.
- Toilet Bowl and Tank: Standard two-piece toilet components.
- Soft-Close Toilet Seat: Included for safety and convenience.
- Inlet Ports: Four inlet ports on the pump allow connection to a toilet, sink, bathtub, or shower.
- Discharge Pipe: Capable of pushing waste up to 229 feet horizontally and 23 feet vertically.
Installation Process
Follow these general steps for installation. Refer to the detailed diagram for plumbing connections.
- Positioning: Place the toilet and macerator pump in the desired location. Ensure adequate space for connections and maintenance.
- Plumbing Connections:
- Connect the toilet outlet to the designated inlet on the macerator pump.
- Connect additional fixtures (sink, shower, basin) to the available inlet ports using appropriate plumbing.
- Install the discharge pipe from the macerator pump to the main sewage line. Ensure proper slope for horizontal runs and secure vertical runs.
- Electrical Connection: Connect the 500W macerator pump to a suitable power outlet.

Operating Instructions
The Flodream Macerating Toilet is designed for efficient and quiet operation, providing a reliable solution for waste disposal.
Flushing Mechanism
This toilet features a water-saving dual flush system:
- Light Liquid Flush: Uses 1 gallon of water.
- Heavy Solid Flush: Uses 1.28 gallons of water.
This design ensures effective cleaning while conserving water, using 20% less water than standard toilets.
Figure 4: Dual Flush Buttons. The toilet features two flush buttons: a smaller button for a half flush (1.28 GPF) and a larger button for a full flush (3 GPF, though the product description states 1.28 gallons for heavy solid flush, which is more accurate for water conservation).
Figure 5: Powerful Flushing Action. The system utilizes a powerful direct flush and a nano-glazed bowl for easy cleaning, ensuring efficient waste removal and preventing clogging.
Macerator Pump Operation
The 500W macerator pump, equipped with a 1 HP unit and stainless steel non-clog blades, automatically activates upon flushing to grind and pump waste. Its design ensures low noise operation.
The soft-closing lid provides an added safety measure and reduces noise from slamming.
Figure 6: Versatile Application. The Flodream macerating toilet system can be used in various locations, connecting to a toilet, sink, bathtub, and kitchen basin for waste water disposal.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the optimal performance and longevity of your Flodream Macerating Toilet system.
Cleaning the Toilet Bowl
The toilet bowl features a nano-glazed surface for easy cleaning. Use standard non-abrasive toilet bowl cleaners and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the glaze or internal components.

Odor Control
To effectively address odor concerns, ensure proper ventilation. Incorporating a 1 1/4" venting pipe or utilizing activated carbon filters (place activated carbon as indicated in Figure 2) can provide reliable odor control.
Pump Maintenance
- Avoid flushing non-biodegradable items such as wipes, sanitary products, or excessive paper, as these can clog the macerator blades.
- Periodically inspect visible connections for any signs of leaks or wear.
- If the system will be unused for an extended period, consider flushing with clean water to clear any remaining waste.
