The LavaTap 700W 3 in 1 macerator lets you add a toilet, basin and shower where there is no gravity fall to the soil stack: a loft conversion, basement, garage, under the stairs or an extension. It sits behind a floor-standing toilet, breaks down waste and pumps it through small-bore pipe up to 11m up or 110m across, so there is no need to dig up floors for a 110mm soil pipe.

What it connects: a front 100mm toilet inlet plus two 40mm side inlets for a basin, shower, bath, bidet or washing machine. It takes water up to 90C. Blanking caps are supplied for any inlet you do not use. If a shower feeds a side inlet, raise the shower tray about 14cm so the waste falls into the unit.

Before you buy: the toilet needs a horizontal outlet and at least 205mm from the pan outlet to the rear wall. The unit comes with a fitted cable and no plug; it must be wired to an earthed fused spur protected by a 30mA RCD by a qualified electrician. In England a macerator toilet is allowed where the home also has a toilet on a gravity drain (Approved Document G), and adding a WC normally needs building control.

Pipe run: go up first, then across with a fall of at least 1:200. Every elbow costs about 0.5m of lift, so use two 45 degree bends instead of a 90. The stepped outlet takes 23, 28, 32 or 44mm pipe and a 22-32mm reducer is included.

In use it starts on its own when you flush, runs for 5 to 10 seconds and stays under 45dB(A). An active carbon filter means no external vent. Flush only toilet paper, human waste and waste water: no wipes, sanitary items, nappies, food or chemicals. A top service panel lets you clear a blockage without removing the unit, and a thermal cut-out protects the motor. Domestic use. 2 year manufacturer's warranty.

In the box: macerator, discharge elbow, 2 inlet connectors, 2 blanking caps, toilet inlet cover, 8 hose clips, 2 floor brackets and screws. Size 416 x 244 x 265mm.
