Install a shower, wash basin or utility room anywhere in your home
A grey water lifting station allows waste water to be discharged where gravity drainage is not possible. It is the ideal solution for creating a shower room, utility room or additional water point in areas located away from the main drainage system.
It is particularly suitable for:
- Converting a basement
- Creating a utility room
- Installing a shower in an extension
- Adding a wash basin or kitchen sink in a room away from the main drainage system
- Renovating a space without modifying the existing drainage system
Waste water lifting station or toilet macerator: what's the difference?
Unlike a toilet macerator, a waste water lifting station is designed exclusively for grey water.
It can receive waste water from:
- Shower
- Wash basin
- Kitchen sink
- Hand basin
- Washing machine (depending on the model)
It is not designed to handle black water from toilets.
How does a grey water lifting station work?
The lifting station is a compact unit installed close to the sanitary appliances.
When waste water enters the tank, an electric motor starts automatically and drives an impeller that pumps the water through a small-diameter discharge pipe connected to the main drainage system.
This system allows waste water to be pumped several metres vertically or over long horizontal distances.
Which appliances can be connected?
Depending on the model, a waste water lifting station can feature several inlets, allowing multiple sanitary appliances to be connected simultaneously.
AQUASANI lifting stations can be connected to:
- A shower
- A wash basin
- A kitchen sink
- A hand basin
- A washing machine on selected models suitable for hot water
This versatility makes it easy to create a complete shower room or utility room without major building work.
Quick and easy installation
Installation requires:
- A compliant electrical connection
- A PVC discharge pipe connected to the waste water drainage system
- Connection of the sanitary appliances to the lifting station
Once installed, the lifting station operates automatically every time it is used.
AQUASANI lifting stations are equipped with a non-return valve to minimise the risk of backflow and ensure reliable day-to-day operation.

Tips to maximise your installation's performance
To ensure the longest possible service life:
- Avoid discharging aggressive chemicals

When correctly installed and properly maintained, a grey water lifting station makes it easy to create new sanitary facilities anywhere in the home, even where a conventional gravity drainage installation is not possible.
