Macerator toilets
If you want to add in a new bathroom in your home or an apartment which does not allow breaking and plumbing into the concrete, you should opt for macerator toilets. These are great as they do not need extensive breaking of the concrete while installation. These use grinder pumps to ease the flushing of the toilets. This helps to move the wastes easily up by pumping. These toilets are great in places where the toilets are installed below the sewer pipe. Macerator toilets can come in handy as a rescue for situations where you need to covert a room in utility area or build in a new bathroom. These macerator toilets consist of macerator units which are responsible for chopping up the solids and making them into slurry along with the fluids. This can easily allow the waste material to pump up through a pipe and avoid clogging.
