One significant drawback can distinguish among these advantages - it is dependent on electricity. That is, in the absence thereof, to use appliances or bathroom prohibited. However, there is a way out - Connection alternative energy sources.

The structure and is included in the kit sololifta

Forced pumping waste from plumbing fixtures directly at sololifte. This is achieved through the special design, despite the fact that the very compact device. Consider what is in the working mechanism of the appliance:

• a plastic housing with holes for inlet and outlet pipes;
• submersible pumpResponsible for the transportation of waste from the source to the sewage system;
• a check valve, preventing return of waste;
• a shredder mechanismWhich crushes the particles are too large to move through their normal sewer pipes;
• reception filtration system and a carbon filter.

Since inclusion of fecal macerator pump for a toilet in the network, all parts of the mechanism are beginning to interact synchronously. As regards the set, the sewer sololift consists of a certain volume of the storage container (depending on model), as well as internal parts. Sometimes Comes with consumables (gaskets, connectors).

On a note! To one sololiftu it can be connected to three sanitary units (through the corresponding holes or via one node).

How does the pumping sewage installation

Operating principle pumping equipment for home sewage systems is as follows:

1. All the liquid from one or more connected devices is supplied to pump fecal toilet or wash. Before entering the supercharger comes grinding major components in the liquid to such an extent that subsequently can be smoothly transported in the sewer pipe.
2. Further, the role is transferred pumping equipmentWhich pumps the liquid entered all with good pressure. For example, for vertical structures pumping force is 5 m vertically and horizontally about 100 m.
3. Then, through the carbon filter installed, the air is clean, which fell into the sewer. This prevents odor in the room.
4. Further, all the liquid enters the bore and connected tube diameter of 100-110 mm.

At the same time, even in the case of education leaks, Unpleasant odor, due to the action of the filter system in the room will be absent.

General Specifications sololifta

All models Sololift devices are available in white color only, are small. However, in addition, each unit provides the individual labeling, which stands differently. Consider the technical features of the instrument, depending on the set of marks:

• D-3. This marking allows you to connect to sololift shell, and showers with installed sieve limiters;
• C-3. C - is the size of devices which is 125 mm. Accordingly, such setting is suitable for mounting in the individual conditions;
• WC - a device that is equipped with a special cutting device. This type of pump is permitted to sewer installation in an apartment kitchen;
• WC-1. A similar device equipped with the chopper, and only one output for connection;
• WC-3. The device with a cutting device provides three different connection.

Plastic equipment adapted only for the transport of liquid substances with a temperature not exceeding + 45 ° C. Devices labeled P-3 can operate with a hot waste. Typically soliliftov capacity is 4.3 m³ / h.

2. Performance sololifta should be considered with some reserve. It is desirable that this parameter was 10-15% greater than the total volume of runoff. This will prevent potential problems, if necessary, the simultaneous use of multiple points of drain.
3. Water pressure must also meet certain standards, thus it is necessary to consider not only vertical but also horizontal flow. The optimal rate for the operation sololifta at home 5-8 meters.
