SANICUBIC
Classic
The
Sanicubic Classic is a pre-assembled heavy-duty grinder pump that meets the
demanding needs of commercial and residential sewage applications. The two-grinder
system made of stainless steel liquefies solids into small particles prior
to being passed through the 1-1/2” discharge. It is designed to handle
multiple waste fixtures for applications such as residential single or group
homes, commercial buildings, schools and many more.
This
new system consists of two 1-horsepower motors housed inside a compact but
highly durable plastic
enclosure. Each independently operating grinder
has its own high-performance grinding system: a fast-rotating cutting blade
to reduce solids in the wastewater stream from toilets, tubs and showers,
sinks, washing machines, dishwashers, etc.
The Sanicubic Classic operation is as simple as the installation. The effluent
enters the pump through one of five different inlets – one on either
side of the unit at the bottom and three along the top. The inlets can accommodate
1-1/2” or 4” diameter pipes. As soon as the wastewater level reaches
the trigger point, the pumping system activates. The effluent is then pumped
out through 1-1/2” diameter rigid pipe connected on the top of the pump.
Maximum pumping distances are 36 Ft vertically and/or 328 Ft horizontally.
The inside of the Sanicubic Classic comprises of a couple of pressure switches
and a circuit board assembly, which starts and stops the unit, and of a couple
of motors, which drive the stainless steel cutting blades and the pump. Water
and organic waste matter that enter the enclosure are reduced to slurry and
are picked up by the impeller mounted beneath the motor.
The
two grinders inside the Sanicubic Classic are engineered to operate alternately.
They each
take turns handling the wastewater so that neither is more heavily
used over time than the other. However, if either pump ceases to operate,
the other pump will run full-time until servicing can eliminate the problem.
One of the many features of the Sanicubic Classic, is the smart-pump operation.
A single pump is able to handle up to 50 gpm. If the incoming rate is higher
than the discharge rate, the pump automatically signals the “overload” stage.
This will activate the second pump and both pumps will operate simultaneously
until the condition is alleviated. When both pumps are in operation, the
discharge rate increases roughly 80%. In this event, a visual alarm LED
on the unit will
switch to red.
The
wastewater from other sanitary fixtures is discharged into the Sanicubic
Classic via five 11⁄2-inch or 4” inlets,
on either side of the housing and on the top of the enclosure. The internal
discharge pipes come
equipped with check valves that prevent back flow into the unit. Isolating
valves (not supplied) must be installed on waste inlets and on the discharge
pipe to ensure that any service/maintenance may be carried out safely.
This unit has been designed with a 1-1/2” vent connection on the top
of the enclosure. All plumbing codes require connection to a vent system. Please
note that the vent system should be a two-way air vent. The use of mechanical
vents, air admittance valves or similar devices are not permitted as these
are considered one-way air vent systems.
