Saniflo - are there any alternatives?

bigpappa

To move the washing machine next to the dryer I would need a grey waste pump like saniflo - now looking around they cost nearly as much as my washing machine - £350. Are there any alternatives?

Why do you need a saniflo?  

We can't come up with a solution without knowing the problem.

Unless this washing machine is in a basement , there's a good chance you don't need a saniflow
Have you been told this by a contractor?

To explain.

To put the washing machine in the cellar. The cellar is partly under the ground - about 0.75m is above the ground -so there is a small window and coal shoot at ground level.

The current gutter is at ground level. So the washing machine if in cellar would be about 1.5m below the gutter, so its waste needs to be pumped up 1.5m and then horizontally 2m.

This one?

Seems like the correct product - would the 250w motor be enough?

It can operate at 45 degrees temp  - which is useful. I know washing machines now operate at low temps - but every so often I use the high temp washing to clean the machine out.

I have been searching around and I came across this product which seems ideal but I have not heard of this brand - or is it some poor knock off?

you don't need a saniflow for washing machine waste water.

Yes I realised that after checking up  - there will only be a washing machine attached and the sanivite recommended by the plumber.
