Saniflo North America launches a new retrofit pump kit for sewage applications
by CM Staff
This new retrofit pump kit offers a built-in 1 HP grinder motor and air pressure mechanism that fits most 24-inch basins.
The new Sanipit 24GR retrofit pump kit provides a sewage pump replacement solution. The unit is engineered to retrofit into 24-inch basins from Liberty Pumps, Zoeller, Myers and other sewage pump manufacturers in Canada and the United States.
CAMBRIDGE — SFA Saniflo, a division of Group SFA, a manufacturer of macerating, grinder, drain pumps and lifting stations, announced the launch of its Sanipit 24GR retrofit pump kit.
Faulty sewage pumps continue to pose persistent challenges for plumbing contractors and homeowners, such as high maintenance costs, float issues, and messy repairs.
This new retrofit pump kit offers a built-in 1 HP grinder motor and air pressure mechanism that fits most 24-inch basins. With the ability to retrofit into 24-inch basins from Liberty Pumps, Zoeller, and Myers, the pump kit offers versatility and compatibility with existing pump systems. The current basin stays in place while the Sanipit 24GRs retrofit cover easily adapts to it.
“As sewage pumps have been a largely unchanged and problematic part of the plumbing industry for over 50 years, this solution is poised to disrupt the North American market by offering a hassle-free and high-performance option for replacing faulty sewage pumps,” says Regis Saragosti, CEO of SFA Saniflo North America.”
“The U.S. retrofit pump market, particularly the cast iron pump segment, has lacked reliable options for installers,” he continues. “SFA Saniflo identified this opportunity and leveraged our innovative design team, extensive research and development capabilities, and vertical integration as a manufacturer to create a game-changing solution. The result is a complete pre-assembled pump design that delivers the same high level of reliability and performance as our macerator and grinder pumps.”
Thermo-magnetic motors: Key to SFA Saniflo’s solution is the utilization of short cycling, thermo-magnetic type motors, a feature incorporated into existing Saniflo pumps. This design caters to the specific needs of installers, while a complete package system meets the requirements of engineers and other specifiers, reportedly providing reliability, redundancy, and a wastewater detection system.
