Problem: Installing conventional plumbing in a floating home poses significant challenges due to its construction and the need to preserve structural integrity. AR Plumbing in Sausalito, California, faced this dilemma when tasked with plumbing renovations for a floating home at Richardson Bay. Reinforced with steel beams, the concrete foundation presented obstacles to traditional plumbing installation, prompting the search for an alternative solution.
Solution: AR Plumbing, led by owner Adelso Rodas, turned to Saniflo’s above-floor plumbing technology as a viable solution. After consultation with a Saniflo representative, they selected the Sanicubic 1 grinder system for its capability to handle wastewater from multiple fixtures. This pre-assembled, compact system offers high efficiency and flexibility in piping layout, which is crucial for the confined spaces of a floating home. The Sanicubic 1’s powerful motor and stainless-steel cutting blade ensure reliable operation, capable of pumping effluent vertically and horizontally over significant distances.
Result: The installation of the Sanicubic 1 proved efficient, taking only two days to complete. Despite the unique challenges posed by the floating home’s structure, the system performed well in tests, meeting the client’s requirements for plumbing functionality. Rodas praised Saniflo’s innovative solution, emphasizing its ease of installation, compact design, and quiet operation. He expressed confidence in recommending Saniflo systems for similar applications in the future, highlighting their reliability and practicality. 800-571-8191; www.saniflo.com
