Installing an extra bathroom in your home

Adding bathroom facilities have been proven to be a sound home improvement investment. Typically the investment doubles the expense. Adding a bathroom is not always easy and most often entails breaking up the concrete basement floor, and if your house does not have a basement, the situation is even more difficult.

How easy is it to install, for example, a basement bathroom? Is there a drain in the floor? If so what is the size and where does it run? Does the home owner have to break up the entire floor? Do they need to hire specialized labor at high hourly rates? The labor cost alone easily offsets the purchase of an UPFLUSH.COM system.

The solution is actually rather easy. Macerating system were invented in Europe in the early sixties and they have since found wide spread acceptance in the world. These systems install on top of a floor and therefore no breakwork or other structural work is required.

The operation is very simple indeed. After using the toilet, it is flushed and the waste and paper are flushed inside the macerator, where a pressure sensitive switch starts and stops the motor. The waste and paper are shredded by a serrated impeller and is pumped away as thin slurry through a small diameter discharge pipe.

In addition to the toilet wastes, the system will also pump away waste water from other fixtures that are connected to it. Again the pressure sensitive switch will start and stop the motor and waste water is evacuated every time a hand basin, shower or bathtub is used.
