5.2 Plumbing Connections
The pump features three dedicated inlets for connecting various fixtures and a multi-size discharge outlet. Use the provided universal adapter rings for secure connections.
- Inlets: Connect your toilet, sink, bathtub/shower, or kitchen lines to the designated inlets. The system automatically detects wastewater flow.
- Discharge: Plan your discharge pipe route, considering the pump's 36ft vertical lift and 328ft horizontal push capabilities. Ensure the discharge pipe is 1-1/4" for optimal flow. The pre-installed check valve prevents backflow.
- Ventilation: The unit includes an activated carbon / vent pipe interface for deodorization. Connect a 1-1/2" ventilation duct for optimal odor control.

5.3 Electrical Connection
Connect the pump using the provided 10-foot GFCI-protected power cord to a suitable 120V electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is properly grounded and protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for safety.
6. Operating Instructions
The HOCANFLO 750W Macerator Pump is designed for automatic operation.
- Automatic Activation: The pump features auto-sensing drainage. When wastewater flows into the inlets from connected fixtures (toilet, sink, shower, etc.), the pump automatically activates within 8 seconds to macerate and discharge the waste.
- Macerating System: The anti-clog stainless steel cutting system, powered by a robust 750W copper motor, efficiently pulverizes solids such as toilet paper, feminine products, and organic waste.
- Quiet Operation: The heavy-duty ABS housing incorporates sound-dampening technology for quieter operation compared to standard units.
- Dry-Run Protection: The intelligent system includes dry-run protection to ensure safe operation and prevent damage if no water is present.

7. Maintenance
The HOCANFLO macerator pump is engineered for minimal maintenance. Regular inspections can help ensure long-term reliability.
- Routine Inspection: Periodically check the pump for any visible leaks, unusual noises, or blockages. The tool-free cover design allows for quick and hassle-free inspections.
- Deodorization System: The dual-use filter provides both 1-1/2" ventilation duct deodorization and activated carbon deodorization. Ensure the ventilation path is clear and replace activated carbon as needed (if applicable to your model).
- Cleaning: If necessary, disconnect power and clean the exterior of the pump with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
- Check Valve: The pre-installed check valve effectively prevents backflow. Ensure it is functioning correctly during inspections.
