Smart Wastewater Drainage System in Modern Office Pantries: A Case Study on Sanicom 2 Installation

Modern offices prioritize comfort, and functional pantry spaces are becoming the norm. But adding kitchen amenities like sinks and dishwashers isn't always easy, especially in high-rise or older buildings with limited drainage access.

This case study explores how an office in Bangalore successfully addressed this challenge using Sanicom 2, SFA India’s compact and efficient grey water pump designed for such environments. The result? A fully functional pantry without any floor excavation or heavy plumbing work.

The Challenge: Creating a High-Functioning Pantry in a Minimalist Office

A Bangalore-based office set out to create a compact yet fully equipped pantry featuring:

1. Two sinks
2. A dishwasher
3. A coffee machine

Designed for frequent use by staff, the setup had to be efficient, quiet, and blend seamlessly with the office’s minimalist interior.

However, the key challenge was the absence of gravity drainage. The system also needed to handle high-temperature grey water and deliver reliable performance without major plumbing alterations.

The Solution: Installing Sanicom 2 for Seamless Wastewater Drainage

To address the drainage challenges, the office implemented the Sanicom 2 grey water pump from SFA India. This robust solution offered:

• Dual 2 HP motors for continuous operation and redundancy.
• Capability to handle high-temperature grey water, up to 90°C.
• Compact design, suitable for under-sink or under-counter installations.

The pump was discreetly installed beneath a kitchen cabinet, connecting seamlessly to the two sinks, dishwasher, and coffee machine. This setup ensured efficient wastewater drainage without any disruptions, aligning perfectly with the office's minimalist aesthetic.

What Makes Sanicom 2 Ideal for Commercial Pantries?
