Designed to replace faulty sewage pumps and its components from major manufacturers in North America, the new innovative Sanipit 24GR offers an easy, mess-free and reliable replacement solution
SFA Saniflo, a division of Group SFA, the world leader in above-the-floor macerating, grinder, drain pumps and lifting stations, today announced the launch of its new innovative Sanipit 24GR retrofit pump kit.
Faulty sewage pumps continue to pose persistent challenges for plumbing contractors and homeowners, such as high maintenance costs, float issues, and messy repairs. With the launch of the Sanipit 24GR retrofit pump kit, SFA Saniflo provides the most reliable and hassle-free sewage pump replacement solution on the market.
This new retrofit pump kit offers a built-in 1 HP grinder motor and air pressure mechanism that fits most 24-inch basins. With the ability to retrofit into 24-inch basins from Liberty Pumps, Zoeller, and Myers, the pump kit offers versatility and compatibility with existing pump systems. The current basin stays in place while the Sanipit 24GRs retrofit cover easily adapts to it.
“As sewage pumps have been a largely unchanged and problematic part of the plumbing industry for over 50 years, this solution is poised to disrupt the North American market by offering a hassle-free and high-performance option for replacing faulty sewage pumps,” says Regis Saragosti, CEO of SFA Saniflo North America.”
“The U.S. retrofit pump market, particularly the cast iron pump segment, has lacked reliable options for installers,” he continues. “SFA Saniflo identified this opportunity and leveraged our innovative design team, extensive research and development capabilities, and vertical integration as a manufacturer to create a game-changing solution. The result is a complete pre-assembled pump design that delivers the same high level of reliability and performance as our macerator and grinder pumps.”
Thermo-magnetic motors: Key to SFA Saniflo’s solution is the utilization of short cycling, thermo-magnetic type motors, a feature incorporated into existing Saniflo pumps. This design caters to the specific needs of installers, while a complete package system meets the requirements of engineers and other specifiers, providing superior reliability, redundancy, and a wastewater detection system.
While SFA Saniflo offers a heavy-duty, above-ground pump called the Sanicubic 1, it is not meant to be installed in existing sewage pump systems. By leveraging the benefits and features of the Sanicubic and incorporating them into the new retrofit pump, SFA Saniflo has created the solution that truly meets the needs of installers seeking a “white glove service” — an easily maintainable and replaceable solution without the mess associated with sewage and waste.
Mess-free replacement: One of the key differentiators of the Sanipit 24GR is its ability to create a dry cavity within the pit. Unlike other pumping systems that sit directly in sewage, SFA Saniflo’s design keeps the components and the motor separate, ensuring a hassle-free and mess-free experience for plumbing installers and service technicians.
“The U.S. market lacks a product that creates a dry cavity within the pit, one that delivers unparalleled cleanliness and ease of maintenance,” says Saragosti. “Our pump design, backed by our extensive experience in building systems and solutions worldwide, embodies a failsafe, reliable, and easy-to-use replacement solution for existing sewage pits.”
The Sanipit 24GR boasts a range of top-of-the-line features, including a 2-inch discharge rubber adapter with a built-in check valve and a 2-inch vent rubber connection, direct access points for motor and air pressure switch inspection and replacement, as well as inspection and cleaning of pressure dip tubes.
Its fail-proof wastewater sensing mechanism with triple redundancy provides added reliability. A gasket that protects against odor and sewer gas ensures a sanitary and worry-free operation.
Other Key Features:
- Pre-assembled, heavy-duty retrofit insert that easily fits 24-inch basins.
- Easy access for maintaining all major internal components, including motor, grinder blade, and pressure switches.
- Powerful 1-horsepower motor, equipped with stainless steel grinder blade meant for residential and commercial applications: Traditional sewage pumps often suffer from frequent clogs, causing significant inconvenience and disruptions to homeowners and plumbing contractors. With the Sanipit 24GR retrofit pump kit, these clogs are a thing of the past. A built-in grinder motor and an efficient air pressure mechanism ensures smooth and uninterrupted wastewater flow, eliminating the hassle of frequent clogs and costly repairs.
- Pumping distance up to 25 feet (maximum shutoff head: 33 feet).
- External control panel and visual/audible alarm system.
- Fail-proof air pressure switch system with triple redundancy: Float issues are a common source of frustration when dealing with sewage pumps. The Sanipit 24GR addresses this problem with its advanced triple-pressure switches, ensuring accurate and reliable control of the pump’s operation.
- Superior wastewater detection system delivers a longer life expectancy without any maintenance.

Zoeller Pump Company’s 912 Sewage and Grinder Package Systems have a new design with the Contractor in mind. For years we’ve been hearing from customers on these systems, ‘We love your pumps, but your package system could use some improvement’. Well, we took that feedback, and Sales, Marketing, & Engineering teamed together to revamp these systems to not only deliver on the Contractor’s needs, but to go above and beyond in the production of this new unit.
We started with the cover. Zoeller’s new PSF cover has a removable access port for quick and easy inspection of the system’s internal components. It has two threaded 2” discharges that can either both be used for discharge in a Duplex configuration, or that can be used for discharge and vent in a Simplex configuration.
In a Duplex configuration we also leave additional space on the cover for a vent to be drilled. The new design also has a stainless-steel tag affixed to the cover that relays important pump/system and electrical information as well as leaves a space for the Contractor to leave their information for the system owner, should they so please.
Pump Features
- Cast iron construction (model 264/model 266)
- Thermoplastic construction (model 211)
- Automatic or piggyback configuration available
- Full 2” (50 mm) spherical solids capacity
- Thermal overload protection
- Non-clogging vortex impeller
- 3 year limited warranty on Model 264/266
Inside the basin we added a spring-loaded PVC float tree that snaps in and out of place with the help of molded grips to make inspection and maintenance a breeze. We also added molded torque stops to hold the pump in place and increase stability. On the outside we included a 360-degree molded handle for easy transportation and installation of the system that also serves as an anti-flotation device helping to secure the system in place and keep it there once installed. Finally, the system now ships with a clear construction cover to protect the unit from any masonry work or debris.
