    Hi,
    So I'm looking install a macerator that can take a bath tub, sink and toilet from a bathroom in the attic

    From what I can see there isn't one that will do all 3 so I'm wondering if the below will work
    Option 1: Hook up a macerator that is designed to take a shower, sink and toilet and hope for the best. (Will it be able to handle it)



    Option 2: Hook up the same macerator as option 1 but fit a slow draining plug to mimic the flow rate of a shower draining. To be honest I don't know if these exist or not.


    Option 3: install a dedicated macerator for the bath tub and sink and another one for the toilet


    Option 1 or 2 would be my preference unless someone can advise me of a relaible macerator that will do it all. I'm currently looking at Grundfos ones.


    Any advise or alternatives are appreciated

    Why do you need the bath/sink in the project?
    what's the problem you are trying to solve?

    “I can’t pay my staff or mortgage with instagram likes”.

    Bathroom is in the attic on the opposite side of the house to the existing waste lines. I need a macerator to pump to the waste pipes for all services.
    Don't want to / cant stick a pipe on the outside of the house.

    I have always used Saniflo and used the commercial products so no drama.
    Will noise at night be an issue?

    I wouldn't think so. It will be buried behind a plasterboard wall (Accessible)
    Do they run when not in use?

    I have been working in the noise field since 1975...
    I can tell you at 3 am, after a bad pint or/and a Chinese, and you are adoring the great white god, you will hear it:)
    The PB will only act like a bass drum, so you need to think about sound at night

    To be fair its not the main bathroom. Its more a guest bedroom with an ensuite in the attic.
    We want a bath for occasional use so it wont be running everyday as youd have to pass the main bathroom to get to the attic.
