Transforming a Boathouse into a Functional Family Home with Saniflo

Boathouses offer unique and bespoke design opportunities, and converting this cedar clad building from a boat storage facility into a functional family home came with a slew of challenges. One such challenge for this site was drainage, as it is located 4m below and 65m away from the street sewerage mains.

During the renovation process, subcontractor Jordan Andrews of JA Plant Hire was brought in to deal with the drainage challenge. Jordan had used Sanifos Inground lifting stations before and knew they offered a straightforward and effective solution. A site visit confirmed that a Sanifos 610 would be the ideal size to lift the grey and black waste and discharge the waste into the street sewerage mains.

“The beauty of this unit is its size and power. It has a high quality, powerful motor at its core enabling the lift and pumping length," says Jordan Andrews.
