In areas, which are prone to freezing, the
total system must be properly winterized.
This includes the draining of all pipes,
the toilet tank, bowl and the macerating
tank. The macerating system is simple
to winterize. Pour a jug of plumber’s
anti-freeze into the tank and flush the
toilet. This will cause the macerating unit
to activate and all remaining water will
be replaced by plumber’s anti-freeze.
No parts or labor are warranted when a
breakdown occurs due to freezing.
Ensure that there are no faucets left
open. Drops will eventually fill up the
pump and as a result, the motor will
activate repeatedly
XIII
ACCESS TO MAIN
COMPONENTS

service for several hundred thousand
cycles. However, there may be instances
when some little intervention may be
required.
Warning : Before attempting any
work, please make sure to unplug
the unit from the power supply.
1. If a foreign object falls inside the
macerating unit and gets clogged in the
blade system, please follow the steps on
page 5 in order to remove it.
Note : The service panel on the left side
can be removed using the tool provided.

RETURN AND
REPAIR OF THE
MACERATING UNIT
In the event that the unit needs to be
returned for service, please call for
possible options, or to inquire about
an authorized repair shop in your area.
When you are required to return the
macerating unit to the manufacturer
or repair shop, please ensure that prior
to shipping, the unit has been cleaned
and disinfected inside and outside. A
labor charge will be in effect for cleaning
($50.00).

properly with adequate shock absorbent
material around it.

be apprised of repair costs.
XV
MAINTENANCE
(For qualified personnel only)
1. If the unit needs to be opened or if
the motor needs to be removed, please
pry open the lid for easy access. There
will be a gasket in between the lid and
the casing which prevents any leakage
in the unit.
2. Note that the motor is filled with
dielectric oil. Do not remove it or replace
with regular oil. Please note that the
distributor purposely does not keep
seals, bearings or oil in stock. If the cap
which holds the oil in place is removed,
warranty is voided automatically.
3. When closing the lid, make sure
to grease or lubricate the lid seal with
soapy water or dish soap. The lead seal
must be inserted on the inner seams of
the inside of the lid. Once you have the
lid almost in place, work yourself around
the lid tapping down on the lid with a
rubber mallet or block.

ACTIVATING THE
UNIT/USAGE
1. Ensure that the toilet is free of building
debris prior to activating.
2. Open the water shut-off valve and let
the tank fill up.
3. Ensure the power supply is on.
4. Flush several times with intervals
in between depositing a few sheets of
toilet paper into the bowl. There should
be no paper remaining in the bowl after
each flush.
The normal domain of application of
SFA macerating units only concerns the
disposal of human waste, toilet paper
and water.
Warning :
Do not discharge any acids, alkaloids,
solvents painting, paint strippers, food
waste, plastic bags, metal such as nails,
hairpins, wood, building materials, kitty
litter or anything that could halt or
damage or corrode the unit.
Disregarding the above might damage
the macerating unit and shall void your
warranty.
Do not hang bleach blocks or
hydrochloride cleaners in the toilet
tank. These solutions have been shown
to deteriorate the plastic and neoprene
components of the flush and fill valves,
and may cause leaks. In the event of a
power loss do not use the toilet or any
other sanitary fixture connected to the
macerating unit since it will not work
until the power is restored.
The toilet works as a conventional
flushing toilet and needs no
maintenance in normal use. However,
there is nothing wrong with cleaning out
the macerating unit once a year. Do not
use bleach (Be careful not to let water
enter the electrical cord opening).
The macerating unit starts automatically
once the toilet is flushed or the bath,
shower, hand basin, etc. discharge and
cease operation once the contents have
been pumped away.
Whenever the unit is not to be used for
long periods of time (vacation, power
failure, maintenance, etc.) turn off the
water supply to the tank and flush the
unit to evacuate the water. No leakage
into the bowl should ever be permitted
from the tank.
