In commercial settings, most customers want to ensure continuity of business. The Sanicubic contains two separate pumps for absolute reliability and power. Each is fitted with a high performance maceration system and the two pumps operate alternately, ensuring even wear of the motors. In the event of inflow overload, such as a busy Saturday night in a city nightclub or a Sunday morning in a B&B, both motors run at the same time. And, if on the rare occasion one pump should fail, the other pump takes over, guaranteeing continuity of business and happy punters.
