Good pump, okay toilet, poor connectors
The macerator pump performs well, with no issues after three months of daily use in a rental unit. The flexible connector at the rear of the toilet is poorly designed and leaked immediately, requiring replacement with a 4-inch schedule 40 PVC pipe and a 4-inch rubber connector to achieve a tight seal. The toilet seat does not stay upright, which is inconvenient. Instructions are mediocre. Overall, the pump is good and costs less than name-brand units.
Pros
- + pump works well
- + no issues after 3 months
- + costs less than name-brand units
Cons
- − flexible connector leaked immediately
- − toilet seat won't stay upright
- − instructions mediocre

Reliable Macerating Toilet System for Adding a Bathroom
This macerating toilet system was purchased at nearly half the price of comparable alternatives and has performed well. It enabled the addition of a bathroom, with a sink, vanity, and shower connected. The main installation challenge was the PVC connections, as instructions use metric measurements; the outlet requires 1.5-inch PVC and the inlets require 3/4-inch. After three months of near-daily use, it continues to operate without any issues.
Pros
- + Significantly lower price than comparable systems
- + Works reliably after three months of near-daily use
- + Enables adding a bathroom
Cons
- − Metric instructions make PVC sizing unclear for US users

Quiet Macerating Toilet Pump for Basement Bathroom
Installation was completed for a basement bathroom with a short lift and downhill run to the septic pipe. The lower-priced unit was chosen based on this setup. It handles a raised shower/tub, sink, washing machine, and ice maker. Instructions are somewhat vague but videos help. All connections use 1 1/2-inch pipes. The pump is very quiet, quieter than expected, and pipes are hidden outside the wall for a normal-looking bathroom. Longevity is unknown due to new installation, but performance so far is excellent.
Pros
- + very quiet operation
- + easy to figure out with videos
- + handles multiple fixtures
- + pipes can be hidden for normal bathroom look
Cons
- − vague instructions
- − customer service could not answer pipe size question
