Toilet macerators have transformed the way people install toilets in their homes and offices. Earlier installing a toilet meant extensive planning, plumbing and construction work, but with the introduction of toilet macerator systems, now people can install a toilet even in inconvenient spaces below ground level without a gravity fed system or waste pipe connection.
This is because macerator toilets pulverise the waste into a liquid which is then drained into the sewage line. Commonly used macerator in the UK is Saniflo, however, we have brought to you a more affordable and efficient alternative– the Uniflo Combo Package Toilet and Micro Macerator Pump Set.
This innovative product combines a stylish toilet with a powerful macerator pump and offers numerous advantages over the popular macerator toilets like those from Saniflo. In this blog, we will explore the features, benefits and reasons why our Uniflo Combo Package is a better alternative over Saniflo toilet macerator for homeowners seeking a reliable macerator system for toilet.
The Uniflo Combo Package
The Uniflo Combo Package of a macerator and toilet gives you the complete bathroom set up. It has a modern toilet, a soft-closing seat, a cistern and a micro macerator pump. This package is compact yet highly efficient, making it the perfect toilet macerator system for small spaces like the basement, under stairs or any converted areas inside your home.
Key Features of the Uniflo Combo Combination Complete Toilet and Macerator Set:
Compact Design: The toilet has a projection size of only 675mm, which gives the user enough room to move even in tight spaces. With the macerator situated only 25mm from the wall, it occupies very little space.
Micro Macerator Pump: One of the key advantages of this macerator pump is that waste can be easily disposed of through a small bore pipework of 22 mm, however, it can also handle discharges through 32 mm pipework if necessary, which gives you flexibility in installation.
Dual Button Flush: This combo offers a modern toilet design that has a dual button flush system, which can use 4L or 6L of water to flush the waste. The dual flush system helps to water conservation and at the same time ensures effective waste removal.
Powerful Performance: The macerator pump has a power rating of 400 watts with a flow rate of 12.5 litres per minute input and an output flow of 240 litres per minute, which offers efficient waste management.

Why Choose Uniflo Toilet Macerator System Over Saniflo?
When comparing different toilet macerator systems from Uniflo and Saniflo, you might get confused between which one should be the right fit for your home. To help you make the decision, here we have compared Saniflo Saniplus 2 macerator pump with the compact macerator that comes with our Uniflo Combo Combination Complete Toilet and Macerator set, since they both operates at approximately close to 400 watts:
1. Power and Performance
The Uniflo macerator operates at a rated power of 400 watts, with an input flow rate of 12.5 litres per minute and an output flow rate of 240 litres per minute at 5.5m (approximately 18 feet). The Saniplus 2 on the other hand, features a 0.5 HP (approximately 373 watts) motor with a discharge rate of 17 GPM (approximately 77.28 litres per minute) at 15 feet. So, clearly the Uniflo macerator offers you a more powerful performance with its higher output flow rate, which makes it suitable for various applications.
2. Cost-Effectiveness
Our Uniflo Combo Combination Complete Toilet and Macerator set will cost you around £389.00, while the Saniflo Saniplus pump alone will cost you somewhere in between £1175 to £967 (varies with the buyer). It means Saniflo products are generally more expensive than our Uniflo ones. This affordability makes our Uniflo toilet macerator system an attractive option for you, especially if you are a budget-conscious consumer.
3. Installation Flexibility
One of the unique features of the Uniflo toilet macerator system is its ability to discharge waste through small bore pipework as small as 22mm, while also being capable to work with 32mm pipework as well. The Saniplus 2 macerator pump on the other hand requires a minimum discharge pipe diameter of 3/4” or 1” (19.05mm or 25.4mm). This indicates that the Saniplus model provides very less flexibility when it comes to installation, making our Uniflo system a more superior choice.
4. Discharge Distance
The macerator that comes with our Uniflo Combo Combination Complete Toilet and Macerator set, supports vertical pumping distances of up to 5.5 metres and horizontal distances of up to 80 metres. In contrast, the Saniplus 2 macerator from Saniflo can pump vertically up to 15 feet (approximately 4.5 meters) and horizontally up to 150 feet (about 45.7 metres).
The lower vertical and horizontal pumping capacity of the Saniplus pump limits its effectiveness. This means with our Uniflo toilet macerator system, you get greater flexibility regarding where you can install your bathroom relative to your existing plumbing setup.
5. Noise Levels
Considering the noise level of a macerator pump during operation is particularly important for households where noise levels need to be kept to a minimum. Our Uniflo macerator toilet system is designed for quiet operation, causing hardly any disturbances during its use.
The measured noise level for the Saniplus, on the other hand, is ≤ 53 dBA (Lp) at 3 feet, which might be noticeable in quieter environments. This again makes our Uniflo model a better alternative than Saniflo Saniplus 2 macerator.
6. Ease of Installation and Maintenance
Our Uniflo Combo Combination Complete Toilet and Macerator set offers you the complete package as it comes with all necessary components such as —syphon, fill valve, pan, cistern and soft-closing seat. This ensures you don’t have to pay extra for buying the fixtures.
Moreover, we give you access to a free engineers’ help line, where you can get expert guidance for any installation related queries. We also have a dedicated customer service team who can help you in your journey.
While the Saniplus system is also designed to provide easy installation, you do not get any installation assistance from experts for it. Some users have even reported challenges in accessing customer support, making us a more convenient option.
Invest Wisely, Choose Our Uniflo Combo Combination Complete Toilet and Macerator set
Although both of us and Saniflo provide effective toilet macerator systems, it now obvious from this blog that our combo package has additional benefits that positions us as your the best choice if you are looking for a budget friendly but efficient, noiseless product.
When you choose this or any other product from our website, you are investing in a durable design and reliable solution for modern bathroom.
