SANISWIFT
The
Saniswift is a gray water pump that is ideally suitable for use in a basement
apartment or anywhere in the house where additional fixtures are most wanted.
It will pump the waste water away from a variety of sources such as: a kitchen
sink, laundry sink, washing machine (indirect connection), dishwasher, bar
sink, etc.
The Saniswift's
modern style prevails over other bulky relics. This system offers powerful
and economical pumping action in a compact, contemporary design. With unprecedented
performance and features, this pump is unmatched in its class.
The inside
of the Saniswift comprises of a pressure switch and circuit board assembly,
which starts and stops the unit, and the motor, which drives the pump.
When
the water enters the Saniswift, it activates a pressure switch which in
turn starts the motor. The motor is sealed for life in an oil filled enclosure.
A spindle/shaft drives the impeller and therefore the moving parts are
kept
to an absolute minimum.
The unit pumps
the effluent upward to 14 feet and/or 140 feet horizontally (with gravity
fall). Once the water is discharged and
the water level in
the container goes down, the pressure switch deactivates the unit until
water enters
the unit again. A normal operating cycle for the Saniswift can be as
short as 2 - 10 seconds depending upon the discharge pipe run configuration;
power consumption is therefore minimal.
In addition to
a sink, the Saniswift will also accept and discharge the waste water from
a variety of other sanitary
fixtures such as:
a kitchen
sink,
a shower, a urinal. When adding a shower, a base will have to be constructed.
This
base should be made out of a 2" x 6" (minimum) or 2” x
8” (recommended) on edge, to allow for the installation of
a P-trap and the required 1/4” per foot gravity flow towards
the pump unit.
The waste water
from other sanitary fixtures is discharged into the
Saniswift via two 1-1/2 inch inlets, on either side of the housing
and an additional
inlet on the top of the unit. A non-return valve,
which comes already assembled on the discharge rubber connector, prevents
back flow
into the unit.
This unit has
been designed with a vent connection on the lid. All plumbing codes require
connection to a vent system. Please
note that
the vent
system should be a two-way air vent.
It is also highly
recommended for the gray water pump to be connected to a Ground Fault Interrupter
(GFI)
circuit.
The Saniswift
is a compact unit with attractive rounded contours that fits neatly into
tight spaces.
The Saniswift
has been certified to American and Canadian Standards. Electrical standard
UL 788, CA: Electrical standard CSA C22.2
The Saniswift
comes with the pump case only.
