Hello,
2. Which toilet is suitable for the Saniflo to sit under?
Thanks
Hi @Beginner20,
For a full ensuite with a toilet, basin, and shower, you’ll need a Saniflo unit that’s designed to handle multiple inlets and higher demand, rather than the smaller models that only suit a toilet and basin. A unit like the https://www.bunnings.com.au/saniflo-sanitop-domestic-macerator-pump_p4817625 is a common choice because it’s specifically built for full bathroom setups, offers relatively quiet operation for a macerator, and has easier service access. If you have a larger layout or longer pipe runs, something like the Saniflo Saniplus can handle a bit more load, though noise levels are generally similar across both.
In terms of noise, no macerator is completely silent, but most modern units operate at a moderate level and only run briefly during flushing or discharge, so in a typical home environment they’re not overly intrusive.
For the toilet, if you’re using a standard macerator (like the Saniaccess or Saniplus), you’ll need a regular floor-mounted toilet with a horizontal (rear) outlet so it can connect directly into the unit positioned behind it. Most standard close-coupled toilets will work as long as the outlet lines up. Alternatively, you can go for an all-in-one option like the https://www.bunnings.com.au/saniflo-sanicompact-43-toilet-suite_p4819653 , which has the macerator built into the toilet itself. This gives a cleaner look and can be slightly quieter in perception, but limits you to that specific unit.
Overall, for a typical ensuite, the Saniaccess 3 is usually the best balance of capacity, noise, and practicality, with the main requirement being that your toilet is compatible with a rear outlet connection.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
