The FlowPro FP250 Macerator is a type of macerating pump designed for use with showers, as well as other plumbing fixtures such as hand basins and bidets. A macerator is a device that grinds up waste and pumps it through a small-diameter pipe, allowing wastewater to be moved to the main drainage system even when it's located far from the fixture or in an area with difficult plumbing access.
The FP250 is typically used in situations where you need to install a shower in a basement or other area where gravity-based drainage isn't feasible. It works by grinding up the waste and water from the shower into a fine slurry and then pumping it through pipes to the main drain or sewage system.
Here are some key features of the FlowPro FP250 Macerator:
- Powerful Pumping Ability: It can pump waste water up to 10 meters vertically or 100 meters horizontally.
- Quiet Operation: The FP250 is designed to operate with minimal noise, making it suitable for residential or commercial spaces where noise might be a concern.
- Compact Design: Its small size allows it to be easily installed in tight spaces, such as under the shower or behind walls.
- Versatility: Although it’s often used for showers, it can also be used for hand basins and bidets too.
- Easy Installation: It’s often installed in retrofit situations where conventional drainage isn’t an option, offering an efficient and effective solution.
The FlowPro FP250 Macerator is part of a larger group of macerating pumps that help homeowners and businesses deal with challenging plumbing setups by allowing waste to be pumped through smaller pipes over long distances.
