Pumping station SANIBO 4

Product detailed description

The IBO SANIBO 4 pumping station is designed for installation in areas where natural gravity drainage is not possible. It is commonly used in basements, small bathrooms or utility rooms where wastewater must be pumped to a higher level. The unit is suitable for residential and commercial applications where horizontal toilet connections are required. It integrates into existing plumbing systems and handles mixed flows from multiple fixtures, including toilets, bidets and hand basins. The compact size allows for installation in tight spaces, and the unit is suitable for use in both new builds and retrofit projects.

The SANIBO 4 is typically used in situations where traditional gravity drainage is not feasible, such as in below-ground rooms or where the existing plumbing layout requires a lift. The unit is designed for continuous operation and is suitable for installation in environments with normal ambient conditions. It is not intended for use with industrial or chemical waste and should only be connected to domestic wastewater sources. The unit is suitable for installation in dry, well-ventilated areas and should be positioned to allow for easy access to the motor compartment and maintenance points.

The maximum flow rate of 300 l/min indicates the unit's capacity to handle high-volume flows from multiple fixtures. The 9 m head means it can lift wastewater to a height of up to 9 m, making it suitable for multi-storey buildings or where the discharge point is elevated. The 230 V supply voltage is standard for single-phase domestic electrical systems in Europe. The dimensions of 32 x 51 x 22 cm allow for installation in compact spaces. These parameters are essential for determining the suitability of the unit for a given application and for ensuring compatibility with the existing plumbing and electrical infrastructure.

Installation and connection

The installation process begins with selecting a suitable location that allows for proper access to the unit and ensures that the discharge pipe can reach the required height. The unit should be positioned on a stable, level surface to prevent vibration and ensure proper operation. The inlet connections include three additional inlet ports for connecting to fixtures such as a basin, bidet and toilet. The discharge pipe should be connected to the main drainage system using a suitable coupling or flange. It is important to ensure that all connections are watertight and that the unit is properly sealed to prevent leaks. The electrical connection should be made by a qualified electrician, ensuring that the unit is connected to a 230 V supply with appropriate circuit protection. A common mistake during installation is incorrect alignment of the discharge pipe, which can lead to reduced efficiency and increased wear on the pump. Another common issue is failure to ensure proper sealing of the inlet and outlet connections, which can result in leaks and system failure.

Compatibility and accessories

The IBO SANIBO 4 is compatible with standard domestic plumbing systems and can be connected to fixtures using standard pipe sizes and fittings. It is suitable for use with PVC, copper or stainless steel piping, depending on the existing system. Additional accessories that may be required include pipe fittings, couplings, sealing rings and electrical components such as circuit breakers or isolators. The unit is not supplied with a discharge pipe or electrical cabling, so these must be ordered separately. It is also recommended to install a non-return valve on the discharge line to prevent backflow in case of pump failure. The unit is not compatible with systems that require chemical treatment of wastewater or with industrial waste streams.

Technical background for designers

The IBO SANIBO 4 operates by using an electric motor to drive a pump that lifts wastewater from the collection tank to the discharge point. The unit includes a cutting mechanism that helps to break down solid waste, reducing the risk of clogging and ensuring smooth operation. The motor is protected by a thermal overload device that prevents damage from overheating. The unit is constructed from durable materials, including a stainless steel cutting basket, which ensures long-term reliability. The compact design allows for integration into tight spaces, and the unit can be installed in a variety of orientations depending on the available space. The performance of the unit is influenced by factors such as the viscosity of the wastewater, the presence of solids and the ambient temperature. Proper system design should take into account the flow rate, head and the required capacity to ensure that the unit operates efficiently and without excessive wear.

Service and operation

The IBO SANIBO 4 requires minimal maintenance, but regular checks should be carried out to ensure that the unit is operating correctly. The motor compartment should be inspected for signs of wear or damage, and the cutting mechanism should be checked for blockages or excessive wear. The seals and gaskets should be inspected for leaks or deterioration, and any damaged components should be replaced as necessary. The unit should be kept clean and free from debris to prevent clogging and ensure efficient operation. No specific service intervals are provided in the technical data, but it is recommended to carry out inspections at least once a year or more frequently in high-use applications. If the unit fails to operate correctly, the first step is to check the electrical supply and ensure that the circuit breaker has not tripped. If the problem persists, the unit should be disconnected and inspected for internal damage or blockages.

Frequently asked questions

Can the IBO SANIBO 4 be installed in a basement?
Yes, the unit is suitable for installation in basements or other areas where natural drainage is not possible. It is designed for use in dry, well-ventilated spaces and should be positioned to allow for easy access to the motor compartment.

Is the unit compatible with horizontal toilet connections?
Yes, the IBO SANIBO 4 is specifically designed for use with toilets that have horizontal connections. It can handle the flow from a toilet as well as other fixtures such as a basin or bidet.

Can the unit handle high-temperature wastewater?
Yes, the unit is capable of handling wastewater with a temperature of up to 90°C. This makes it suitable for use with hot water sources such as bidets or heated basins.

What is the maximum flow rate of the unit?
The unit has a maximum flow rate of 300 l/min, which is suitable for handling high-volume flows from multiple fixtures. This makes it ideal for use in larger bathrooms or utility rooms where multiple sources of wastewater are present.
