Whatever distance the manufacturer of your chosen device says it can be.

And you need to involve Building Control as this is notifyable.

Can anyone recommend a Macerator that can be 50-100 meters from the main drain?

 

[muggles]

Is this a different macerator to the one you've asked about in your other post?

The Mono Grifter is a reliable unit. http://www.mono-pumps.com/grifter_pump_system

Macerator and pump in one compact unit. Maybe a bit large for a single toilet , we installed it for a four bedroom house. 20 years trouble free service.

They claim 110m horizontally subject to conditions. New-ish to the market so I haven`t seen one myself yet.

Depending on what you are planning to have in the cabin you could use an incinerating toilet.

That's a bit more than a box behind the bog though. More like a mini pump station, probably no reason why it wont shift waste 110m I'd have said.

Stuart, can you can get a fall on the drain at least some distance from the existing drain, towards your proposed lodge?

That is exactly what it is Hugh, Saniflo`s version of a Jung /KSB lifting station. From experience manufactures claimed duty outputs are achieved in ideal situations though.

And how much is one of these units? Gotta be pricey... didn’t look on the linky for costs.

Don`t know off hand but any lifting station will be 4 figures plus a yearly service cost.

Think I’d rather use a bucket with some foam lagging round the top!

That`s only going to last for a short while though
