Adding a Bathroom on the Second Floor for the Elderly with Sanipack
Sanipack makes it easy to add a second-floor bathroom for seniors – compact, quiet, no floor breaking, and reliable.
How can you add a private bathroom directly in a second-floor bedroom for elderly family members when there’s no existing drainage system and the main sewer line is 10 meters away? At first, this may seem impossible—but with the Sanitoilet solution, it becomes quick, compact, and highly efficient.
The Challenge
The house originally had two bathrooms—one on the ground floor and another on the third floor. However, the grandmother’s bedroom is located on the second floor. Due to her age, going up and down the stairs to use the shared bathrooms was inconvenient and difficult. Despite this, she wished to remain in her familiar second-floor bedroom rather than move downstairs.
This created an urgent need to add a new bathroom on the second floor, designed for both comfort and safety. Yet, the area had no built-in drainage system, and the main sewer line was located 10 meters away. Using traditional plumbing methods would have required expensive, complicated work—almost impossible to carry out in this situation.
The Solution
The SFA Pumps Vietnam technical team proposed the ideal option: Sanipack, a compact macerator pump from the Sanitoilet range.
Sanipack was neatly installed on the balcony, where it collects wastewater from all bathroom fixtures—including the toilet, washbasin, and shower floor drain. It then pumps the wastewater vertically up to 3 meters and horizontally up to 10 meters through a 27 mm pipe (D27) to connect directly to the main sewer line.
With its slim, space-saving design yet powerful performance, Sanipack made it possible to add a full bathroom inside the second-floor bedroom—without the need for floor cutting, heavy civil work, or high costs.
Key Benefits of Sanipack
