Siphon Pump
Macerator & Cistern
It takes waste from the WC Pan and passes it through a shredder so that it can be carried away through a small-bore (22mm or 32mm) plastic pipe. The WC Pan can be 20 -50 m from the soil stack if the pipe is horizontal, but pumping distance and height are connected, as pumping vertically would restrict the horizontal distance. The installation of a macerator unit needs to meet the Building Regulations requirements, so you should inform your local Building Control Officer if you intend to install one. You will also need an electrical connection to drive the shredding motor and this must be used via a fused connection unit (unswitched or via a flex outlet if within reach of anyone using the bath or shower.) There are a wide variety of macerator units available: the simplest is for use only with a WC; the most complex will take a whole bathroom suite (WC, wash basin, bidet and bath or shower). High – capacity units are available to take the output from a power shower. There is also macerator units designed for kitchen waste (sink, washing machine and dishwasher). Macerator units can be bulky, but there are slim line units available that fit nearly behind a conventional WC pan, below the cistern. You may need to Plumber to install this one because the consequences of a poorly fitted macerator could be very messy.
HOW A CISTERN WORKS
- An Inverted U-pipe in the cistern is linked to the flush pipe into the pan, and at the other end opens out into a dome (siphon). When the flush is operated, a lift rod raises a plate in the dome and throws water into the crown of the U-bend.
- Openings in the plate are covered by a plastic-flap valve held flat by the weight of the water. As water falls down the flush pipe, it creates a partial vacuum, causing water to be sucked up through the plate openings and to raise the flap valve.
- The base of the dome is about 10mm above the cistern bottom. When the cistern water level falls below the dome base, air drawn in breaks the siphonic action and stops the flush.
- On a dual – flush cistern there is a hole in the side of the dome, and if the flush control is released immediately the hole lets in air to break the siphonic action after a gallon of water has been siphoned. When the control is held down for a few seconds, it operates a device that temporarily plugs the air hole, allowing a double flush
