[Case study - 55] Sanicubic 2 Classic – Automated basement drainage for a luxury villa at Vinhomes Grand Park

Key highlights

• Situation: A villa owner at Vinhomes Grand Park wanted to convert the basement into a fully equipped lifestyle space, including a spa, gym, entertainment room, and VIP lounge.
• Problem: The new basement bathroom required a drainage system that was safe, odour-free, silent, and fully automated – criteria that conventional drainage could not meet.
• Solution: The Sanicubic 2 Classic by SFA Pumps Vietnam was installed directly into the basement sump, collecting and transferring wastewater to the villa's septic tank over 15m with a 2.8m height difference.
• Result: The basement was completed to the highest standard, with an automated drainage system that has been operating reliably since installation.

Converting a basement into a premium living space demands more than good design – the drainage infrastructure must meet the same high standards as the space itself. This project at Vinhomes Grand Park shows exactly how the Sanicubic 2 Classic from SFA Pumps Vietnam delivered on every requirement.

The challenge

The owner of a villa at Vinhomes Grand Park decided to fully repurpose the basement into a multi-functional amenity space for the family, including a spa, gym, entertainment room, and VIP reception area. A complete bathroom was an essential part of this renovation.

However, the owner set precise and demanding requirements for the drainage system:

• Safe and reliable – no risk of backflow or wastewater overflow under any circumstance.
• Odour-free – maintaining clean air quality in the enclosed basement environment at all times.
• Silent operation – compatible with a high-end relaxation and entertainment space.
• Fully automated – no manual intervention required, with consistent long-term performance.

These are criteria that conventional gravity-fed drainage systems struggle to meet simultaneously, particularly in a basement where wastewater cannot flow naturally to an external outlet.

The solution

SFA Pumps Vietnam recommended the Sanicubic 2 Classic – a submersible sewage pumping station designed specifically for basement applications, meeting all of the owner's stated requirements in a single unit.

Sanicubic 2 Classic – a twin-motor basement sewage pumping station

Sanicubic 2 Classic is a submersible pumping station by SFA Pumps, designed and manufactured in France. Built for demanding residential and commercial basement applications, the unit was installed directly into the basement sump with the following key features:

• Two alternating motors – distributing the workload evenly to extend equipment lifespan and ensure continuous operation even when one motor is being serviced.
• Automatic control and alarm system – monitors water levels, activates pumping automatically, and triggers alerts when needed, with no manual operation required.
• Sealed design, odour-free operation – maintains air quality throughout the basement at all times.
• Quiet, low-vibration performance – fully compatible with a high-end spa and entertainment environment.
• Wastewater collection and transfer from the new bathroom to the villa's septic tank, over a 15m horizontal distance with a 2.8m height difference.\

The results

Following installation of the Sanicubic 2 Classic, the basement bathroom at the Vinhomes Grand Park villa has operated exactly as specified. The system automatically collects and transfers wastewater without generating odour or noise during operation.

The twin-motor alternating mechanism ensures long-term stability – well suited to the performance standards of a premium living space. The villa owner can use the space with complete confidence, with no need to monitor or manually intervene in the drainage system.

The basement was completed as envisioned: a fully equipped, multi-functional lifestyle space with technical infrastructure that matches the quality of the space itself.
