The Sanivite
is a gray water pump and is ideally suited

The Sanivite is a gray water pump and is
ideally suited for use in a basement apartment.
It will pump waste water away from a variety
of sources, such as a kitchen sink, laundry
sink, washing machine (indirect via laundry
tub only), dishwasher, or bar sink.
How It Works:
The Sanivite unit is comprised
of a pressure
chamber, which starts and stops
the unit
and the motor, which drives the
pump. When
water enters the Sanivite, a
microswitch
in the pressure chamber is activated,
which
in turn starts the motor. The
motor is sealed
for life in an oil filled enclosure.
A spindle
drives the impeller, the moving
parts therefore
are kept to an absolute minimum.
Water enters
the chamber and is pumped away
into the sanitary
sewer. The pump operates at 10
PSI and pumps
the waste upwards to 16 feet
and/or 150 feet
horizontally. Once the water
is discharged
and the water level in the container
goes
down, the microswitch deactivates
the unit
until water enters the unit again.
A normal
operating cycle for Sanivite
can be as short
as 2–10 seconds depending upon
the discharge
pipe run configuration, therefore,
power
consumption is minimal.
Use Sanivite for additional fixtures
or appliances:
In addition to sinks, Sanivite
will also
accept and discharge the waste
water from
a variety of other sanitary fixtures,
such
as: a sink, a bath, a urinal
and possibly
a small whirlpool. When adding
a bathtub,
a base will have to be constructed,
made
out of 2" x 6" on edge,
to allow
for the installation of a P-trap
and some
gravity flow towards the pump
unit, as it
does not suck in water.
The waste water from other sanitary fixtures
is discharged into the Sanivite via three
1½-inch inlets. Either one, two, or all three
inlets can be used as required. The discharge
elbow on top of the Sanivite can be turned
either to the left or to the right, depending
on the discharge installation. The Sanivite
may be vented, there is a 1½-inch connection
on the top of the unit. The discharge pipe
size may be made from 1-inch material.
The Sanivite is small enough to fit comfortably
inside a kitchen cabinet or vanity or inside
the overhang of a whirlpool.
