How The SaniSWIFT Works:
The inside consists of a pressure switch and circuit board assembly, which starts and stops the unit, and the motor, which drives the pump.
When the water enters the pump, it activates a pressure switch, which in turn starts the motor. The motor is sealed for life in an oil-filled enclosure. A spindle/shaft drives the impeller, and therefore, the moving parts are kept to an absolute minimum.
The unit pumps the effluent upward to 14 feet and/or 140 feet horizontally (with gravity fall). Once the water is discharged and the water level in the container goes down, the pressure switch deactivates the unit until water enters the unit again. A normal operating cycle can be as short as 2 - 10 seconds depending upon the discharge pipe run configuration; power consumption is therefore minimal.
In addition to a sink, the SaniSWIFT will also accept and discharge the wastewater from a variety of other sanitary fixtures, such as a kitchen sink, a shower, and a urinal. When adding a shower to the SaniSWIFT gray water pump, a base will have to be constructed. This base should be 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 SaniSWIFT gray water pump unit.
The wastewater from other sanitary fixtures is discharged into the SaniSWIFT gray water pump unit via two 1-1/2 inch inlets on either side of the housing and an additional inlet on the top of the unit. A non-return valve, which comes already assembled on the discharge rubber connector, prevents backflow into the SaniSWIFT gray water pump.
This SaniSWIFT gray water pump unit has been designed with a vent connection on the lid. All plumbing codes require a connection to a vent system. Please note that the vent system should be a two-way air vent. It is also highly recommended that the gray water pump be connected to a ground fault interrupter (GFI) circuit.
The SaniSWIFT is a compact unit with attractive rounded contours that fit neatly into tight spaces.

FAQ's:
What is the best gray water pump for a basement?
SaniSWIFT is one of the leading grey water pumps for basement installations, pumping grey water away from the sanitary fixtures connected to it. It’s a versatile piece that adds functionality without occupying too much space.
How do you solve common SaniSWIFT pump problems?
You can troubleshoot certain problems involving Saniflo SaniSWIFT grey water pumps:
- The motor is running normally, but the water is draining slowly. Clear the discharge pipe that may be blocked, and inspect the check valve that may be half-closed.
- The water is draining slowly, plus the motor is working intermittently. Inspect the ventilation system for blockage.
- The pump does not start, and water doesn’t evacuate. Wait for the thermal overload to disengage.
- The water is backing up into the shower tray or bathtub. Ensure that the gravity fall is at least 1/4" per foot into the pump from the sanitary fixtures.
Some situations, such as the following, require you to contact an authorized technician.
The motor hums and it does not evacuate the water; similarly, the water doesn’t evacuate, and the motor has been running for a long time.
The motor runs, but it makes a strange noise.
