INSTALLATION

This appliance must be installed following our instruction
manual and installation guidelines. It must also be installed
in such a way as to ensure easy access for repair and mainte­nance and in accordance with local plumbing code : CSA B45.9;
ASME A112.3.4.

6f

CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY

CONNECT ONLY TO RECEPTACLE PROTECTED BY A
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT

WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK - THIS PUMP

IS SUPPLIED WITH GROUNDING CONDUCTOR AND
GROUNDING TYPE ATTACHMENT PLUG. TO REDUCE
THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK BE CERTAIN THAT
IT IS CONNECTED ONLY TO A PROPERLY GROUNDED­TYPE RECEPTACLE

All electrical connections must comply with local codes in
your region. The current must be single-phase 110-115 V,
15A. The electrical outlet must be located at the minimum
distance of 40 inches from the shower or bath. Note to only
connect this appliance to a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI).

STANDARDS

This model is eligible to bear the CSA mark shown with
adjacent indicators “C” and “US”. The “C” and “US” indicators
adjacent to the CSA mark signify that the product has been
tested according to the applicable CSA (CAN) and ANSI/UL
standards for use in Canada and the USA. This includes
products eligible bear the designation NTRL. NTRL (Nationally
Recognized Testing Laboratory) is a designation awarded by
the American Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) to laboratories authorized to award the certification
according to American standards.

6a

CONNECTION TO SIDE INLETS

The pump is equipped with a couple of side inlets that are
used to connect additional fixtures. To connect the side inlets,
use 11/2” PVC schedule 40 female adapters.

If either side inlet is not being used, ensure that you cap off
the inlet not being used by screwing the end cap into the case
until it is completely sealed.

6b

CONNECTION TO INLETS (TOP)

Carefully, using a cutter device, cut open the inlet that will be
used for this connection. Please note that the hole being cut
must be perfectly smooth in order to create a watertight seal.

6c

CONNECTION TO A BATHTUB / SHOWER.

When adding a bathtub/shower, a base will have to be
constructed. This base should be made out of a 2” x 6”
(minimum) or 2”x 8” (recommended) on edge, to allow for the
installation of a P-trap and the required 1/4” per foot gravity
flow towards the pump unit.

6d

DISCHARGE CONNECTION

The waste water being evacuated by this device must be
discharged using a 1 inch diameter copper or plastic (PVC,
CPVC) pipe. This pump is designed to handle

3

/8” particles.
The discharge pipe must be connected to a drain line or sewer
line using an approved “Y” fitting designed for this purpose.

Ensure that the angle of slope is 1/4“ per foot for horizontal
drain sections leading up to the main drain stack to ensure
drainage by gravity.

Install an optional ball valve at the bottom of the drain pipe
riser to allow shut off in case of repairs.

6e

CONNECTION TO A VENTILATION SYSTEM

This unit has been designed with a vent connection on the top
of the pump. All plumbing codes require connection to a vent
system. Connect your vent system using a 1-

1

/2” PVC or ABS

pipe.
Please note that the vent system should be a two-way air

vent. The use of mechanical vents, air admittance valves or
similar devices are not permitted as these are considered one­way air vent systems.

8

USE

The SANISWIFT® is designed to drain waste water from sinks,
washing machines (indirect only), dishwashers, showers and
baths.

The SANISWIFT® can pump hot water up to a maximum of
140°F (60°C). If the device operates with water temperatures
higher than specified for a prolonged period, the thermal
protector is automatically triggered and the device will cease
to pump. In this case, wait for it to cool down (approximately
one hour) so that it automatically restarts.

Attention: Never drain cooking grease, alkaline or acidic
liquids, solvents, paints, oils, or bleaches that may jam or
corrode this appliance.

Note that this pump is not suitable for underground installation
and not to be installed in hazardous locations.

REPAIR GUIDE

PROBLEM

The motor runs normally, but the
water drains slowly.

The water drains slowly and the
motor works intermittently.

The pump doesn’t start. The
water doesn’t evacuate.

The motor hums and it does not
evacuate the water.

The water doesn’t evacuate and
the motor runs for a long time.

After discharging the water, the
motor restarts several times
before stopping completely.

The motor runs noisily, without
either stopping or pumping.

CAUSE

The discharge pipe is blocked.
Possible that the check valve is
half closed.

Ventilation system blocked.

There is no power going to the
pump. Thermal overload cut out.

A foreign body is blocking the
impeller. Faulty capacitor.

Evacuation pipe blocked.
Partially blocked impeller.

Water is flowing back into the
pump. The check valve doesn’t
close properly.

Siphoning or lack of counter
pressure in the drainage pipe,
creating an air pocket.
Presence of a foreign body.

SOLUTION

Clean the discharge pipe
Inspect the check valve.

Inspect the ventilation system.

Wait for the thermal overload to
disengage (about 20-30 minutes)

Contact an authorized technician.

Contact an authorized technician.

Drain clear water to free the
check valve or remove the valve
and clean it.

Modify the evacuation piping
in such a way as to eliminate
siphoning or increase the coun­ter pressure (for example using
smaller pipes, add a bend in the
pipe). If the problem continues,
contact an authorized techni­cian.

The motor runs, but makes a
strange noise.

The water backs up into the
shower tray or bathtub.

A foreign body has fallen into
the pump.

The outflow by gravity in the
pump is inadequate. Faulty inlet
control flap or blockage in drain
pipe.

Contact an authorized technician.

Make sure that the gravity fall

1

is at least

/4“ per foot into the

pump from the sanitary fixtures.
