- Do I need a vent and a power outlet?
- Yes. The pump needs a nearby GFCI outlet, and the system needs a vent, usually tied into an existing vent stack. Plan both before installing.
- Can it go in a basement below the sewer line?
- That is what it is built for. The 0.8 HP pump grinds waste and pushes it up and out through the rear discharge pipe.
- What can I flush through it?
- Waste and toilet paper only. Wipes, paper towels and sanitary products can jam the macerating pump.
- How does the dual flush work?
- A light flush uses 1.0 GPF for liquid waste and a full flush uses 1.6 GPF for solids.
- Does the seat come with it?
- Yes, a seat is included, so you do not need to buy one separately.
- How does it compare with a gravity toilet?
- It flushes and drains differently and is louder, but it can be placed where a gravity toilet cannot because it pumps waste uphill.
- Where is the Simple Project Rear Outlet Macerating 2-Piece 1.0/1.6 GPF Dual Flush Round Toilet, with 0.8 HP Macerating Pump in White cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $658.00, as of our latest check.
