Stability

To ensure the stability of the macerator, the user should make sure that only organic toilet sew-age water, water, and toilet paper are removed with the waste pump. The temperature of the pumped liquids should not exceed +90 ℃ in permanent operation. This pump must not transport flammable, gas emitting or explosive liquids. It cannot be used for other fluids like fuels, cleaning agents and other chemical products substances are to be thrown into the rubbish bin. Please note that the waste water must only enter the lifting system without pressure.
Note
Some of the accessories included are located inside the macerator unit upon delivery. Please remove the accessory bag before installation.

Installation

The macerator is installed according to the EN-12056–4 directive. The unit can be operated on every standard toilet with a horizontal outflow. The midpoint of the horizontal drainage must comply with EU standard: 18 cm above the floor Pipework: 18 cm above the ground according to FFB. 

PRESSURELESS

If a washing machine is connected to the macerator, the drainage pipe/hose must not be directly connected to the macerator but it must be led/coupled via a vented pipe  by WilTec Wildanger Technik GmbH system. If connected directly to the macerator, the collecting tank may crack, and this does not fall under warranty. We recommend that the installation and the leak test be carried out by qualified personnel.

wiltec 50741 3-1 Macerator Waste Pump 23 CAUTION
Pay attention when installing the unit, the pump must not be mounted freely suspended from the pres-sure pipe or the power cable.

Functional principle

  • The macerator comprises a tank that storages the waste water and an electrical pump which is automatically controlled and operated via a pressure switch (D).
  • The transporting function is activated when the flushing is operated, just like in the case of a normal toilet.
  • The substances to be removed by pumping are collected in the tank (A).
  • The air chamber (B) measures the air pressure that flows through the pipe (C) in order to activate/operate the pressure switch (D).
  • The pressure switch starts the engine (E) that activates the turbine (F).
  • The sewage water is transported and removed through the outlet (G).
  • This mechanism is easy and the unit is made of high-quality materials. The operating principle is based on a proven concept.

Controlling components

1 pressure switch

 Mechanical elements:
  •  1 electric motor
  • 1 turbine
Controlling components and safety devices:
  • 1 manual override switch
  • 1 check valve
Evacuating toilets

Connect the horizontal toilet bowl outlet with the pump system rubber cuff and stretch the connection with the enclosed clamp. Take care that you use a lubricant, if necessary, so that the rubber connection does not tear. Join the drain pipe with the rubber connection piece, the pipe should have a diameter of 40 or 32 mm. Seal the connection with the clamping piece.

Installation check of check valve

If the sewage water should be transported/pumped upwards, install the check valve as close as possible to the macerator.

Evacuating toilets and other sanitary units

Connect the discharge pipes of the other appliances to the rubber connectors provided and clamp with the pipe. For bath or shower waste water, check that the slope from the siphon has a gradient of at least 1 % (1 cm⁄m) so that the waste flows towards the macerator by gravity. If other appliances are connected along the discharge line near to the macerator, install check valves on their discharge pipes to prevent waste return. The slope of the horizontal parts of the discharge line must have a gradient of 1 %.

Inspecting the pressure switch

Plug the pressure tap chamber located in the rubber tank, press it down to create pressure and listen if a click is heard which indicates that the motor has switched on. If there is no click, check if the air chamber of the pressure switch pipe nozzle does not leak. You can also trigger the pressure switch by blowing lightly into the transparent hose that leads to the pressure switch. When a click is heard, the switch switches and the motor must start. There must be NO water in the transparent hose and the pressure switch. Otherwise, dry the pressure switch or replace it. If the appliance is switched on, the motor should start running. Before performing this operation, check that the opening or inside of the pressure tap chamber are not blocked.

For the lifting system to switch on when the sewage water is evacuated, the incoming sewage water line should have a gradient of at least 2–3 % and a height difference of at least 20 cm from the siphon to the entrance to the macerator. Both are necessary so that the pressure switch in the macerator is actuated, the lifting system switches on and the water is pumped out. Possible errors if this is not considered .The lifting unit does not pump out the water there is always residual water in the pipes  there may be residual water in the shower tray.

Troubleshooting

This device is only suitable for removing faecal matter and toilet paper. Perhaps, other small constituents can be pumped; bigger constituents can clog the pump. This is the main reason for malfunctions that is encountered by our customer service.

Detailed error descriptions and solutions

Residual water in the shower. For the lifting system to switch on when the sewage water is evacuated, the incoming sewage water line should have a gradient of at least 2–3 % and a height difference of at least 20 cm from the siphon to the entrance to the macerator. Both are necessary so that the pressure switch in the macerator is actuated, the lifting system switches on and the water is pumped out. Possible errors if this is not considered

  • The lifting unit does not pump out the water.
  • There is always residual water in the pipes.
  • There may be residual water in the shower tray.
Loud noises, engine not running or running hardly, water not evacuated.
  • These are the symptoms of a macerator blockage.
  • If the system is clogged with toilet paper and faecal matter, it is sufficient in most cases to carefully rinse the system backwards with water.
  • To do so, execute little water pressure on the macerator outlet e.g with a garden hose, so that the residues are flushed out of the pump body back to the macerator.
  • Please make sure that no water pressure comes on the macerator collecting tank.
  • Otherwise, the macerator pressure switch is damaged and the automatic activation / deactivation does not work properly any more
  • With more severe obstructions / blockages by solid bodies that have jammed inside the pump body, it may be necessary to open the pump so that the solid bodies can be removed
  •  In the event of strong impacts from the solid objects in the macerator, the motor bearings can even be damaged.
  • In this case, the macerator motor must be opened and the bearing replaced. This error usually occurs after large solid bodies have been removed or rinsed out.
  • The macerator can then still be turned freely by hand, but as soon as you try to start the motor, it blocks and only hums.
  • Rinsing the macerator does not require any technical knowledge.

  • Rinsing the macerator does not require any technical knowledge.
Pump system does not pump out and operates continually

This error occurs with macerators that have been switched off no electricity and still had an inlet or into which waste water has been evacuated under pressure from a dishwasher or washing machine or which had more inlet than the pump could pump out. This overcrowded the device. It can happen that water enters the macerator pressure switch. As a result, the pressure switch is no longer working properly. The system then either runs continuously or no longer switches itself on automatically. The error can be rectified quickly, which does not affect the warranty. To do so, proceed as follows

  1.  Disconnect the lifting unit from the power supply pull the plug.
  2. Loosen the two macerator cover screws narrow sides and remove the cover.
  3. Empty the small transparent hose that connects the large container with the small black control box.
  4. Also dry out the pressure switch in the small black box (on the heater or in the sun.
  5. After drying, reassemble the system in reverse order.
  6. Put the macerator back into operation; if the pressure switch is not defective, the system will run again without errors.

Cleaning the device

The toilet pump macerator must be cleaned from the outside only with mild cleaning agents like damp cloth and soapy water. Damage caused by inappropriate cleaning agents does not fall under warranty.wiltec 50741 3-1
