Case Study: Installing A Bar Kitchen In The Villa Basement With The Sanivite Grey Water Pump!

A homeowner was eager to renovate and convert an underutilized basement into a vibrant and functional bar kitchen for hosting family gatherings and special occasions. The goal was to create a stylish, practical space for entertaining guests while overcoming common basement challenges, such as drainage issues and limited space.

In this case study, we’ll explore how the Sanivite grey water pump played a pivotal role in efficiently managing wastewater and overcoming plumbing obstacles, helping the homeowner achieve their vision of a modern, functional basement bar kitchen.

Challenge: Drainage Limitations for Basement Renovation

The client’s main challenge in converting their basement into a bar kitchen was the lack of proper drainage. While the basement offered ample space for a stylish bar and kitchen setup, the absence of nearby drainage posed a significant hurdle. The house’s main drainage system was located on the upper floor, and with the basement being below ground level, gravity drainage was not an option. This created a complication for managing wastewater from the kitchen sink, bar area, and other plumbing fixtures, as there was no straightforward way to connect to the existing drainage system.

Solution:

To overcome the drainage challenge, we recommended installing the Sanivite grey water pump in the basement. The Sanivite pump is specifically designed for domestic applications, making it ideal for spaces like kitchens, where wastewater needs to be lifted and pumped over long distances and varying elevations.

Installation

The Sanivite pump was installed discreetly underneath the kitchen sink in the basement bar. It was then connected to the house's main drainage system, located on the upper floor. With the Sanivite's impressive vertical discharge capacity of up to 5 meters and horizontal discharge capacity of up to 50 meters, the pump could efficiently move wastewater from the basement to the higher drainage level without the need for gravity.

The incorporation of the Sanivite kitchen sink pump allowed the client to establish a fully functional, well-drained kitchen space in the basement. Its powerful motor efficiently pumps wastewater to the main drainage system on the upper floor, eliminating the need for costly and complex plumbing renovations. This solution offers a space-saving, effective way to manage wastewater, significantly enhancing the kitchen’s overall functionality.
