The new Sanicubic XL has a large 120 litre tank capacity and can take waste water from multiple appliances at any one time in situations where traditional drainage doesn’t allow, is too difficult to access or too expensive to install.  Based on the proven Sanicubic range installed in domestic, commercial, retail and industrial premises throughout the UK, the XL is the first pump in the Saniflo range to use Vortex technology whereby the waste is broken down as it passes through the pump chamber rather than by cutter blades. The waste then passes through discharge pipework of either 80mm or 100mm width and can be pumped along a distance of 100m and up 10m. The vortex principle of this product helps to eliminate the danger of clogging.  The Sanicubic XL also has two easy access hatches in the top of the unit to assist with maintenance and servicing.
