Saniswift Drain Pump
Product Overview
The Saniswift drain pump is designed to efficiently manage grey water from various residential fixtures. It offers a powerful and economical solution for installations where gravity drainage is not feasible.
The system is capable of discharging grey water up to 14 feet vertically and 140 feet horizontally, making it versatile for a range of applications, including remote laundry rooms or basement installations.
Fixture Connections
The Saniswift pump accommodates connections from multiple fixtures:
- Shower
- Sink
- Dishwasher

The pump features three 1-1/2" inlets: two low inlets with built-in check valves on the sides of the housing, and one on top. A 1-1/2" vent connection is also provided on the lid, essential for proper system venting.
Residential Application
This pump is ideal for residential grey water applications. It is particularly useful for installing bathrooms, showers, or laundry facilities in locations that are below the main sewer line or far from existing plumbing.
Key Features:
- Discharges waste through 1", 1-1/4", or 1-1/2" rigid pipe.
- Includes a non-return valve on the discharge fitting.
- Requires a 1-1/2" vent connection; use either of the top inlets for venting.
