Pump-shredders Dambat – professional solutions for installers
The manufacturer of Dambat water and hydrophore pumps has been providing installers with reliable pumps for years pumps i Pump-shredders for toilets, bathrooms and small domestic sewage pumping stations. The offer includes, among others: IBO brand devices and IPRO (formerly Iq PR), intended for efficient drainage of sewage from rooms located below or away from the sewer line.
Why a toilet pump with a grinder and not a circulation or submersible pump?
In sanitary applications, such as a toilet with a grinder, type solutions are not used circulation pump, submersible pump, submersible pump or circulation pump, because they are not designed to crush solids or work with faeces - these are different groups of pumps, with different purposes and construction. A specialized one is used to drain sewage from the toilet shredder system, in which the pump-shredder combines the function of grinding sewage and pumping it through a thin pipe to the nearest sewer line. This makes it possible to install a toilet in the basement, attic or in a remote room, without the need to perform deep excavations and the classic gravity drop.
The place for a link to products from this group is the presentation of the category of Dambat pumps and bathroom pumps - e.g. Pump-shredders and Dambat bathroom pumps.
The use of pump grinders in sewage systems
Application of pump grinders covers a wide range of sewage installations in single-family buildings, commercial buildings and modernized facilities where the classic gravity system is difficult. These devices provide effective sewage disposal from toilets, washbasins, showers, bathtubs or washing machines, enabling the construction of an additional bathroom or kitchen below the sewage level or outside the sewer line.
A properly selected pump chopper protects the installation against blocked drains, minimizes the risk blockage in the grinder pump and limits slower sewage outflow, which is a common problem with incorrectly selected cable diameter or poor installation geometry. A typical place of use is a sewage system in a basement, attic, adapted garages or commercial premises, where it is necessary to pump sewage to a distant sewer line.
Here it is worth linking a specific solution designed to handle several sanitary utensils, e.g. SANIBO 5 – toilet pump with a grinder.
Construction and dimensions of a toilet pump with a grinder
A typical toilet pump, such as the SANIBO 4 or SANIBO 5 models, consists of a compact working tank in which a sewage pump is built and shredder with cutting knives for grinding impurities. The body is connected to one main inlet pipe from the toilet and additional connections for other sanitary devices, as well as to a discharge pipe with a relatively small diameter, which simplifies the routing of cables in walls or floors.
Pump dimensions are always given in the catalog card of a given model and should be taken into account when planning the installation behind a compact toilet bowl or inside a concealed frame. The design of the tank provides a reserve capacity to start the pump after a certain filling and a minimum shutdown level, which protects the pumping system against air contamination.
The model can be cited as an example of a compact solution with three inputs SANIBO 4 – sewage pumping station for toilets and bathrooms.
Gray sewage and faeces – selection according to the type of medium
Pump-shredders Dambat are adapted to both discharge toilet sewage and the so-called greywater from washbasins, showers, bathtubs or washing machines - provided that the documentation allows for such use. It is therefore possible to connect several accessories in one device, which significantly simplifies the operation sewage disposal system in small bathrooms and sanitary annexes.
The key is to adjust the operating parameters - such as efficiency and lifting height - to the length and route of the discharge pipe and the conditions of connection to the existing sewer line. Proper selection allows you to avoid problems such as: stopping the sewage outflow or excessive load on the system in the case of incorrectly selected cable cross-section.
The device is a good example of a universal toilet pumping station with the possibility of cooperation with other utensils SANIBO 5 – pump for toilet and bathroom.
Safety, service and use of the device
Security operation of the grinder pump depends on correct installation in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions IPRO/IBO, as well as proper power supply and protection against external flooding. The installer must provide service access to the device cover so that it can be serviced periodically cleaning the device, inspection of grinding elements and possible replacement of consumable parts.
Service manufacturer Dambat and authorized points allows for quick diagnosis of faults, repair of the engine, replacement of level switches or seals, which extends the life of the entire sewage system. Correct use of the device – i.e. following the recommendations not to throw foreign bodies, textiles or aggressive chemicals into the toilet – is crucial for failure-free operation and maintaining the patency of the installation.
Detailed installation and operating instructions can be found in the documentation IPRO available on the manufacturer's website, e.g. instructions IPRO for sewage pumping stations.
Regular cleaning of the grinder pump and prevention of unpleasant odors
Correct grinder pump maintenance is based primarily on the fact that the sewage system is not treated as a waste bin, and only domestic sewage and toilet paper go into the bowl. Even with proper use, however, it is recommended regular cleaning a device that limits the deposition of deposits, scale and fatty deposits, resulting in narrowing of passages and loss of efficiency.
To maintain proper sewage outflow and minimize the risk of a blockage in the grinder pump, the manufacturer recommends periodic servicing cleaning the grinder pump using a properly selected cleaning agent, free from aggressive solvents or acids. This action is supported preventing the formation of unpleasant odors and limits corrosion of metal elements and degradation of seals.
Simple cleaning of the device – step by step procedure
A service process whose purpose is simple cleaning of the device, should be performed by a qualified installer or user trained according to the manufacturer's instructions. Always do this before you start disconnect the device from the electricity supply and secure the work area to keep it full Security staff.
After emptying the tank and removing the cover, it is possible to mechanically remove impurities from the chamber, rotor and knives, and then rinse the system with the medium provided by the manufacturer and use an appropriate cleaning agent in the permitted concentration. Once the case has been reassembled and the power has been restored, it is advisable to perform a test run with water to ensure there is no leakage and sewage disposal system works properly.
Cleaning the toilet with a grinder and eliminating unpleasant odors
Regular cleaning the toilet cooperating with the grinder pump is important not only for aesthetic reasons, but also for operational reasons. Scale and biofilm deposits on the walls of the bowl and inlet pipe may, over time, contribute to the formation of local narrowing, which causes slower sewage outflow and increases the risk of partial flow blockage.
Effective cleaning it should therefore combine toilet hygiene products with mild preparations for periodic rinsing of the grinding system, in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. This makes it possible to be effective preventing the formation of unpleasant odors, thus improving the comfort of using the bathroom and extending the life of the entire pumping station.
Symptoms of blockage and stopped sewage outflow
For real blockage in the grinder pump or discharge pipe may indicate symptoms such as violent stopping the sewage outflow, sewage flowing back into the bowl, or frequent activation of the device without a visible reduction in the level in the tank. Another signal may be a gradually increasing one slower sewage outflow after flushing the toilet and the appearance of unpleasant odors near sanitary utensils.
In such cases, the installer should verify the patency of the inlet and discharge lines, assess the condition of the impeller and shredding knives, and check whether any foreign objects have been thrown into the toilet. shredder system is unable to process safely. If these activities do not restore proper operation, it is recommended to contact the authorized service of the Dambat manufacturer.
Regular maintenance and planned service
Systematic maintenance grinder pump - including checking the tightness of connections, periodic flushing of the system, checking the condition of discharge lines and eliminating potential places of deposits - directly translates into the reliability of the entire installation. Thanks to planned inspections, wear of moving parts can be detected early, which prevents sudden failures and reduces operating costs for the end user.
As part of routine service, it is also worth verifying whether sewage systems in the building, including the sewage line, work properly because sewage flowing back from the line may cause problems that may be interpreted incorrectly as a fault of the grinder pump itself. Maintaining the proper slope and patency of sewer lines is as important as the condition of the pumping station itself.
Selection of the Dambat toilet pump for a specific installation
When selecting a toilet pump, the installer should take into account the number of sanitary utensils, the type of sewage (feces, greywater), the maximum length of horizontal and vertical sections of the discharge pipe and parameters such as maximum lifting height and efficiency. Models are often chosen which, in addition to the main 100 mm inlet from the toilet, have additional 40 mm entries to serve, for example, a shower and a washbasin in one bathroom.
IBO brands and IPRO (formerly Iq PR) Dambat's offer includes a number of devices adapted to various installation systems, which makes it easier to select the optimal pump for both small home bathrooms and sanitary facilities in commercial premises. For installations of greater complexity, home sewage pumping stations can also be considered IPRO, designed to cooperate with external ones sewage systems and sanitary sewage connections.
