Hello,
We're in the middle of a loft conversion which includes a small en-suite toilet. It may possibly include a shower, but probably not, due to space constraints. We need a macerator. The outlet will need to go straight up about 1m, up at 45deg (along roof line) about 1m, and along about 10-11m (including one turn) to get to the soil pipe. We'd like the unit to be located behind the stud wall behind the toilet, in the eaves, for aesthetic reasons and ease of servicing.
The builder has suggested (insisted) we choose the unit ourselves, so that we get one we're happy with and it's not his problem if we get the wrong one -- which leaves the problem with us.
How does one choose a macerator? I've looked through many of the hundreds available on Screwfix and there are some obvious features -- number of inlets, power -> pump height/distance, suitability for various appliances -- but I think any of them would be suitable on those grounds. Perhaps we have the simplest application ever and literally any of them will be OK -- or perhaps there's something I'm not seeing which will become apparent when we try to use it.
Thanks!
