SFA SANI ACCESS 1 & 2 Macerator Pump Installation and User Guide

1. Product Description

The SANI ACCESS macerator pumps are compact lift pump units designed for the removal of wastewater from a WC with a horizontal outlet, shower*, bidet*, or washbasin* (*depending on the model). They are manufactured in a factory certified to ISO 9001, ensuring a high level of performance, safety, and reliability when installed and used correctly. The units conform to EN 12050-3 and European standards for electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility.

Important Safety Note: This device is not intended for use by persons (including children) with limited physical, sensory, or mental abilities, or those with minimal experience and knowledge, unless they are supervised and receive necessary instructions for use from a responsible person. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the device.

2. Applications

These macerator pumps are designed to evacuate wastewater from toilets, showers, bidets, and washbasins. They are suitable for domestic use.

3. Installation

The unit must be installed in the same room as the WC and any other connected sanitary appliances to ensure accessibility for inspection and maintenance. Installation and operation must comply with local regulations and the EN 12056-4 standard.

To optimize soundproofing:

• Position the WC pan so it does not touch a wall or partition.
• Place the unit on a perfectly level surface to ensure the anti-vibration mounts function correctly.
• Secure the discharge pipework correctly, with fastenings no more than one meter apart.

4. Electrical Connection

Electrical installation must be carried out by a qualified professional. The unit requires a 220/240V single-phase AC 50 Hz supply. The power supply circuit must be earthed (Class I) and protected by a 30mA high-sensitivity RCD (Residual Current Device). Ensure the power is turned OFF at the main switch before any wiring work. All wiring must conform to relevant electrical installation standards (e.g., BS7671 in the UK). The unit must be wired directly into a fused, unswitched, fixed wiring connector (fitted with a 5A fuse), not a conventional plug and socket.

Wiring Colours: Brown (Live), Blue (Neutral), Green/Yellow (Earth).

5. Commissioning the Unit

After completing all hydraulic and electrical connections, flush the WC several times. Check that all seals and connections are watertight. Verify the watertightness of connections to sanitary appliances (WC, shower*, bidet*, washbasin*).

6. Maintenance

WARNING: In case of prolonged absence, turn off the main water supply and protect the installation against frost.

Cleaning and Descaling: Regularly use a suitable descaling product (e.g., SFA SANIBROYEUR) to remove scale and clean the macerator and bowl. Disconnect power, pour descaler into the pan, let it stand for 1-2 hours, then reconnect power and rinse by flushing twice. Perform this every 3 months, adjusting frequency based on water hardness.

7. Troubleshooting

Before attempting any troubleshooting, always disconnect the macerator from the power supply.
