A macerating toilet system, such as the Saniplus model from Saniflo, allows remodelers to easily add a bathroom in a basement or garage.

The client wants to add a second bathroom, but the home doesn't have drain lines nearby. To save the customer the cost and time of excavating the floor, installing underground piping or creating a raised floor, consider a macerating toilet. With self-contained pumps, these toilets can flush waste 12 feet vertically and 150 feet horizontally to connect to existing plumbing.
