They will most likely install it into whatever waste pipework arrangement that you already have - it's not up to them to test that the Saniflo works properly

Tried to space out your question to make it more readable ...

When you say 'is this OK' do you mean a) having the washer (mashing machine, I presume) in the basement or b) connecting it to the saniflo, or do you mean 'is a saniflo OK'?

I'm sure that if there was a W/M there before any appliance fitter will be able to connect to the existing fittings

hi yes mean connecting the washing machine to the saniflo, rekon id be better getting a plumber to do it or let currys do it

cheers

Well, personally, I wouldn't choose Currys but each to their own!

Do you have a decent local independent store?
Maybe they would 'supply and fit'??

Saniflo systems really don't work well with washing machines from my previous experience . When we had a utility room built about 10 yrs ago, the builder fitted a sanibest system ( heavy duty saniflo ) to handle toilet , shower , washer . Every 12 to 18 months the unit would fail. Luckily always under warranty. Fitted 4 new units over a 5 to 6 year period.
Eventually they admitted that despite advertising it as able to handle a washing machine, that's what was killing the unit every time, ended up having to divert the waste from the washer to get longevity.
Current saniflo ( no washer connected) been in 5 yrs no problems

.... If Currys can be flushed down the Saniflo, I think it confirms many an opinion of them....


OP. Given your doubts, and the mess that would ensue, maybe get a plumber to check the system AFTER a Currys install. But, they should fit anything into fittings, if fittings are there.
