After putting up with a cantankerous Saniflo for too many years, it's time to throw the thing in the bin and route my kitchen waste pipework in a more traditional manner.
The Saniflo had been fitted because the kitchen floor sits below outside ground level, and the macerator was intended to avoid breaching the DPC. Instead, I now intend to drill through the wall at DPC height and deal with it using silicone/tanking/DPC wrapping or whatever it takes.
My problem is how to get the waste pipes out of the wall as high as possible. There's a one-and-a-half-bowl sink, a washing machine and a dishwasher, all fighting for the same outlet. It currently has a Wirquin extra-flat sink trap, using a spigot between the sink and trap to accept waste from the dishwasher - which takes the pipework too low (thus the Saniflo).
The kitchen floor is too low for a traditional standpipe for washing machine or dishwasher, so are there any other shallow trap-type systems I could consider?
