Reasons to choose a Sanicubic Lifting Station for sewage water
Installing sewage systems in basements can be a challenge, especially when trenching or pit installation isn’t possible. That’s where floor-standing lifting stations like the Sanicubic range come in. These powerful, compact systems pump sewage water from lower levels to the main drain—without heavy construction, delays, or mess.

Sewage Lifting Station
When it comes to basements, the conventional plumbing system is to dig a pit and install a submersible pump. However in some cases, it is impossible to install a pit hence a floor-standing lifting station is required. This system uses a waste water pump to lift (from a lower level to a higher level) the wastewater when there is no gravity drainage. The pumping system installed here efficiently moves wastewater from the problematic area to its proper destination such as sewage point.
Unlike other sewage drainage systems, a lifting station does not require costly digging of trenches or cutting the slab. The functionality of this design ensures the removal of wastewater without the need for heavy construction work hence costs or hassles.
Best Basement Lifting Station for Sewage Water
The Sanicubic range by SFA consists of free-standing lifting stations for sewage and grey water. Available in single-phase or three-phase, single or dual motors, the SFA range offers a unique advantage of being able to place the lifting stations on the ground. This ensures the evacuation of sewage water even on properties where it is impossible to bury the lifting station for sewage water while also ensuring easy access for maintenance.
Another important factor of these lifting systems is its grinding technology. Often, basement pipes or sewage lines get clogged owing to sewage backing up in the basement. The Pro X K2 grinder on the Sanicubic lifting stations ensures effective disposal of wastewater.
Further, the Sanicubic range by SFA has been specially designed with 1 or 2 pumps hence ensuring a continuity in operation in residential or commercial applications.
Conclusion
Timely removal of wastewater from basements is crucial. The innovative system of the Sanicubic sewage lifting station ensures the installation of a washroom or kitchen is rapid and cost-effective thanks to its unique technology.

Frequently Asked Questions
A Sanicubic lifting station can pump sewage and grey water from a lower level to a higher main drain when gravity drainage is unavailable. It can help avoid trenching, pit digging, slab cutting, and other heavy construction work.
The grinder system breaks down solid waste before discharge, helping wastewater pass through the connected pipework. This can reduce the risk of blockages in challenging basement drainage layouts.
A lifting station is suitable when a basement bathroom, kitchen, laundry area, or utility room is below the main sewer line. It is also useful when digging a pit or cutting the slab is not possible.
The floor-standing design allows the unit to be positioned directly on the basement floor rather than buried underground. This makes installation more accessible and allows easier inspection and maintenance.
A submersible pump is typically installed inside a pit or collection chamber, while a floor-standing lifting station can be installed above the floor. The best option depends on the available space, construction limitations, and access requirements.
It can reduce construction work, simplify installation, provide easier access for maintenance, and support drainage from lower levels. Some models also offer single or dual motors for different usage requirements.
