Single Toilet Macerators

Check what appliances you want to feed into the macerator. If you only want a toilet, a single-inlet unit will be fine; if you also want a basin add a second inlet; a full bathroom with basin and shower or bidet will typically need three or four inlets. the Flo-Force Max Slim has four inlets so you can take a toilet plus extra waste pipes, while some models are included in our range specifically as "Toilet Only" for a cloakroom.

Yes, these macerators are designed to work with any sort of toilet, including close-coupled, back-to-wall and built-in pans. They chop waste with a bladed motor and pump it into your existing wastewater pipework, so you usually avoid major re-routing of plumbing. That makes them handy if you want a new cloakroom where there was no soil stack nearby.

You can fit a macerator almost anywhere, in a home, office, garage or under-stairs cloakroom, because it allows you to pump waste away from toilets sited away from the main soil stack. Slim models such as the Flo-Force Max Slim are useful where space is tight, while larger units with multiple inlets suit bathrooms with several fittings. Think about access for servicing when you choose the exact location.

Flo-Force offers value models like the Extra, Ultra (noted for a high grade motor casing) and the Max Slim with four inlets, typically between about the current product price, while Saniflo and Grundfos sit at the higher end around the current product price with models such as the UP. Cheaper units give good functionality for simple installations; the higher-priced units often include design or service features you might want for heavier use or easier maintenance. Use the product products in our range and star ratings on the page to judge which model balance price, number of inlets and build detail you need.

Look for build details and service access noted in the product names and descriptions, the Flo-Force Ultra highlights a high grade motor casing, and the Saniflo Saniaccess name implies easier access for servicing. Also use customer ratings shown on the products described as a practical indicator of reliability. If you expect frequent use or multiple fittings, favour models with sturdier casings and easy access for routine checks.
