Basement Wastewater Solution for a Basement Bar in Ho Chi Minh City

In central Ho Chi Minh City, many bars, cafés, and entertainment venues are expanding their service areas by utilizing basement space. However, adding essential amenities like a toilet in the basement presents a major challenge, especially when it comes to wastewater drainage.

Project Need: Pumping Wastewater from Basement to Ground Floor

A bar in District 1 needed to install a new restroom area in its basement, including:

• 2 washbasins
• 2 toilets
• 2 urinals

The septic tank, however, was located on the ground floor, approximately 15 meters away horizontally and 2.5 meters higher vertically. Due to the existing building layout, traditional drainage methods like floor-cutting or natural gravity slope installation were not feasible.

In commercial buildings, pumping wastewater upwards is always a technical challenge. The system must be powerful, reliable, and non-disruptive to daily business operations or the building structure.

SFA Pumps' Solution: Sanicubic 1 VX Lifting Station

To fully resolve the drainage issue, SFA Vietnam provided a highly practical and effective solution: Sanicubic 1 VX – a high-performance macerator pump station designed for commercial use.

Sanicubic 1 VX is ideal for collecting and pumping domestic wastewater in places with high usage frequency and difficult installation conditions, such as bars, cafés, restaurants, or commercial spaces.

Its robust construction, powerful performance, and flexible installation options allow businesses to install toilets and wet areas without relying on traditional large drainage pipes – a big advantage for finished buildings or basement-level installations.
