Upgrade Your Apartment Drainage Without Breaking Floors

Add a Kitchen or Bathroom Without Structural Hassle

In today’s urban living spaces, upgrading an apartment to include an additional bathroom or kitchenette is no longer a construction nightmare. Traditional gravity-based drainage systems often fail in apartments where slope requirements or pipe layouts are limited.
With compact wastewater pumps like Sanipro XR for full bathrooms and Sanivite for greywater areas, upgrading your living space is easier than ever. Distributed in Vietnam by SFA Pumps, these devices allow you to install a toilet, sink, washing machine, or more – without breaking floors or altering your interior layout.

Why Choose SFA Pumps for Apartment Renovation?

1. Limitations of Traditional Drainage Systems

Many older apartments or compact units are not designed to accommodate additional bathrooms or kitchens. Upgrading them often requires major changes to the existing plumbing, including breaking floors, rerouting pipes, or altering structural layouts – all of which can be costly and time-consuming.

2. Limited Space and Structural Restrictions

Urban apartments often lack floor slope, have limited technical space, or even building codes that prohibit structural changes, such as cutting floors or installing elevated piping. In many cases, it’s not just expensive – it’s physically impossible to implement conventional drainage systems.

3. The Smarter Alternative – Compact Pumps with No-Floor-Breaking Installation

Non-gravity drainage pumps like Sanipro XR (part of the Sanitoilet solution) or Sanivite (a core product in the Sanigrey line) are ideal for apartment retrofits when:
- You need to install a toilet or shower in units without existing floor drainage.
- You want a quick, clean installation with no cutting, no breaking, and no mess.
- You’re renovating small apartments, rental units, or homestays and want flexibility without compromising the structure.

Sanipro XR – The Ideal Bathroom Retrofit Solution

If you're looking for a smart drainage solution for a bathroom with no existing gravity outlet, Sanipro XR is your go-to option.
Part of the Sanitoilet range, Sanipro XR is a powerful macerator pump that connects to a toilet, washbasin, shower, and even a bidet, creating a complete bathroom solution. It’s perfect for apartments that need an extra bathroom without floor breaking or slope dependency.
With its floor-mounted design, Sanipro XR requires no cutting or invasive work. It runs quietly thanks to SFA’s patented Silence technology and is easy to maintain – ideal for home renovations or rental property upgrades.

Sanivite – The Compact Greywater Pump for Kitchens & Utility Areas

When upgrading a kitchen or laundry area in an apartment without nearby drainage, Sanivite is your most efficient choice.
This greywater pump from the Sanigrey range easily connects to a kitchen sink, washing machine, or dishwasher, collecting and pumping greywater safely and efficiently.
Sanivite handles hot water up to 60°C, making it compatible with most household appliances. With a sleek, compact design, it fits neatly under sinks or inside kitchen cabinets, and can be installed without floor cutting or major plumbing work.
