Sololift for sewerage and especially its application

From this article you can find out what features have Sololift lifting unit for sewage: technical and operational characteristics of devices, especially their assembly and use in a home water supply. The text contains basic information about the manufacturer Grundfos and its products, including an overview of all models and average prices for the equipment.

Sololift Sewer: Basic information about pumps

functioning sewerage based on the principle of water displacement by gravity due to the inclination of the pipeline line. Normal operation of communication is possible only if there are no blockages.

In private homes to solve this problem using collectors. The presence of the tank in the basement allows you to install the connecting pipe leading to the sanitary appliance, at a right angle. The flat collector is mounted in a vertical position. In this case, the degree of inclination depends on the height at which the intake point is placed, and the entry location.

If the tube entry point into the central manifold located above the exit of the sanitary appliance (the toilet) Or on the same level with him, the sewerage system can not fully work. This applies pressure communications because their scheme assumes the pump assembly at the entrance to the reservoir.

There are several solutions to this problem:

1. Set a higher consumption.
2. Understate the entry level in the reservoir.
3. Buy Sololift for sewerage.

The first two methods are accompanied by considerable difficulties, as not always possible to perform these procedures without compromising the comfort of operation. Therefore, the purchase of pumping equipment for drainage is the only best way out.

Note!The greater the inclination of the pipe, the greater the rate of fluid displacement, which determines the probability of blockages.

Advantages and disadvantages of sewage pumps Grundfos Sololift

Sololift - it pumps intended for sewerage. The main function of these units is forced pumping sewage through pipes. They are used in those rooms, where it is impossible to organize the necessary bias line, ensures the removal of waste liquid from the consumption points by gravity.

To the point of consumption include:

• shell;
• bath and shower;
• toilet and bidet;
• sinks and other plumbing.

Due to the compact size of this type of equipment can be installed in the premises with a small area, so it is advisable to buy Sololift bathroom, toilet or kitchen. The special design with a sloping bottom prevents the formation of sludge in the form of waste and fecal matter. Included equipment increases the rate of fluid flow, whereby the vortex arises in the system Rod, eliminating precipitate from the base reservoir.

Manufacturer precisely calculated aspect ratio of the device. When the tank volume 3.5 L of the pump is capable of high speed feeding spent liquor - 40 l / min. Sanitary devices themselves do not have such a powerful drain. Improved performance allowed to renounce the use of a large tank, simplifying the installation of equipment in inconvenient places.

Installation is very quiet, because the pump is kept immersed in water. Noise during draining water in the toilet bowl typically occurs because the liquid and air flows in the tubes. In case it does not pump because the equipment does not catch the air currents. Operation is fully automated. The scheme involves mounting a connection to the receiving point, and an outlet tube with a voltage of 220V. With this procedure you can cope on their own, without resorting to the services of a professional plumber.

The major advantage of pumps Sololift is their reliability and redevelopment. Because of this there is no difficulty with differences of height during the installation. In addition, the expanding possibilities with regard to accommodation in the plumbing room. Housing construction is very durable. It can withstand the impact of high temperatures and pressures without deformation changes. The presence of the carbon filter eliminates the spread of odors.

Deficiencies in equipment not so much. First, the pumps need a constant power supply. Secondly, the cost of the Danish plants is quite high.

Important!All connections between the elements of the system must be airtight. Only under this condition, drainage will work properly.

Technical features and functionality of the sewage pumps Sololift

The Danish company Grundfos is a manufacturer of a series of powerful and reliable installations for sewage. An extensive range of pumps allows consumers to exercise individual approach to fluid drainage system of the bathroom or toilet. Despite similar external characteristics, each model has its own power level and a set of specific functions.

The apparatus has the form of a sealed housing made of high strength plastic. It is fixed pump for pumping fluid. Equipment starts automatically as soon as the water in the tank reaches a certain level. The manufacturer produces two series of pumps: Sololift + Sololift and 2.

Common to both series models:

• WC-1;
• WC-3;
• CWC-3.

They differ in the number of features and functions, as well as technical characteristics. There are other modifications of plants.

Technical parameters and characteristics of pumps Sololift

Some embodiments of the pumps are equipped with an impeller with cutting sharp edges. This part is used for the fragmentation of coarse waste clogging the pipes for sewage.

Useful advice!When choosing a pump for the house, it is very important to pay attention to its characteristics. Buying an optimal model will eliminate overpayment for unnecessary functions.

Operating voltage equipment - 220-240 watts. Thermal hydrodynamic relay controls the degree of filling. Check valves with adapters having plasticity, as filling driven discharge nozzle. A similar principle of operation eliminates the possibility of overflow liquid and getting foul odors in the living room. The equipment is equipped with a reliable and powerful engines. The material for manufacturing the casing and the shaft served as stainless steel, so they are protected from corrosion.

Design features Sololifta models WC-1

The compact dimensions of Sololift WC-1 does not need a lot of free space for installation. They are easy to fit into confined spaces. Sololift + pump series is equipped with a shredder and a powerful motor. Due to these parts a smooth functioning of the machine.

Shredder helps to remove blockages in the pipes, which can be caused by:

• plenty of toilet paper;
• hygiene items, trapped in the pipeline;
• clusters of faecal matter.

If for some reason the system failure occurs, the equipment is notified by the failure with the help of sound. Thus, the problem will not go unnoticed. Internal parts disposed within reach, so the process of maintenance and repair of the pump plus Sololift not cause difficulties. There is no need to carry out the dismantling of all connecting chains. So it does not take a long time to repair.

The weight of the unit is 7.3 kg (both models). Spaciousness storage capacitance - 9 l. For installation on the floor Sololifta apply screws or dowels. Especially for them in the design of holes are provided. As the fixing element between a sewage system and equipment used tubes and adapters required value. Adapter in the injection line can be installed either horizontally or vertically. Here it is reverse valve.

Experts recommend that the pump mounting directly behind the toilet. This is done so that there is not more than 15 cm between the sanitary unit and discharge unit. Making sure that the pump is connected correctly and securely, you are ready to use.

Installation modifications Sololift WC 2-1 has similar characteristics, but some indicators therein improved. These include the size of the body, which has become more compact, as well as increased engine performance and functionality of the cutting elements.

Technical indicators models Sololift WC-3

This modification of the device has the same advantages as the previous model. there is only one major difference between them. In this case the construction is completed by 3 additional nozzles. The improved model is designed not only for the toilet, but also for the bidet, shower stall and sinks.

Important!If a shower system is connected, the pipeline is laid with a slope of 1%. Instructions for assembling Sololifta 2-3 WC bowl assembly is allowed and 3 other water consumption points. However, none of the modification does not allow you to connect in a few toilets as for the correct operation of sewer require an inlet that is larger than 10 cm.

The total weight of the structure is 7.3 kg (both models). The volume of the collecting tank - 9 l. When this model is designed for connection to the toilet cistern, able to contain from 4 to 9 liters. liquid.

In the modification 2 Sololifta WC-3 present vortex hydraulic system for effectively combating clogged drain. The strength characteristics of the material from which cutting element is made, increased in comparison with similar model Sololift +. The unit is completely immune to the occurrence of leaks.

Overview of features and characteristics of pumps Sololift CWC-3

The size of this modification greatly reduced. The design of the present item for crushing blockages. This type of pump is designed for mounting to a sink, toilet or bidet. The optimal place for installation is a niche in the wall, because the compact size of the unit allows to place it in a limited area. It is very important not to block the cover so as not to complicate the process of maintenance and repair Sololifta.

Due to the rounded shape of the bottom eliminates the possibility of sediment accumulation. When problems arise in a system or equipment, the pump includes an audible notification. The design provides protection that prevents overheating of the motor and has a function of self-restart. The weight of both models leaves on 7.1 kg. The capacity of the storage tank is the same as in similar models of the same series.

The same modification in Sololift series 2 is characterized by wall-type accommodation. As with all of this line, CWC-3 pump is able to pump a hot liquid. Maximum temperature limit is 50 ° C. The configuration has the additional nozzle 3, their sizes: 32, 40 and 50 mm.

Summary of other modifications in the series of pumps Sololift 2 and Sololift+

In the line of pumps Sololift + present two models, the opportunities that are fundamentally different from those that have been described previously. Modification D-3 is not designed for pumping the waste liquid, which are present in the composition of the major elements. The configuration of the impeller is not cutting, so is not allowed to connect the pump to the toilet.

The housing has a sealed structure with a characteristic for the majority of models of bottom shape - round. For installation does not require special tools. Only need a screwdriver and fasteners (screws). the pump can be easily removed if necessary. Weight constructions - 4.3 kg. The reservoir may contain not more than 2 liters.

Model C-3 of the same series is fundamentally different from other devices. This pump can pump wastewater having a high temperature. The maximum limit of - 90 ° C and only for 30 min. Pump weight - 6.6 kg. The cutting mechanism in its configuration is missing. The equipment is intended for connection to a sink, washing machine and dishwasher.

Important!Not permitted to simultaneously connect more than three points of water consumption.

The model has a float switch. This magnetic member may be installed at different levels. When maintenance is carried out, the float is removed. The pump is equipped with alarms. Its reservoir is designed to 5.7 liters.

Update Sololift line 2 also has a model C-3. This assembly with a rounded bottom is self cleaned, so the accumulation of dirt is possible. The apparatus can pump hot water (90 ° C) and for an indefinite length of time. Since all pumps are a new range of powerful engines in the construction of the manufacturer has provided the presence of 2 bindings. Thanks to this equipment during operation is not overturned. Vec pump - 6.6 kg.

Advantages of the model:

• float-type switch;
• a two-tier system of descent;
• the possibility of a separate drain.

Pump unit D-2 is designed for pumping gray wastewater, in which the composition no particles large. This type of equipment is light weight - only 4.3 kg. Maximum temperature elevation drains - 50 ° C.
