Standard toilets will suffice in most cases. What about those who work with older homes or want to renovate their basement with a new bathroom? You will likely need an upflush toilet system for such purposes. This system will pump waste upwards, after it has been processed by a macerator.
We review the top options on the market and provide detailed summaries about their individual specifications.

Saniflo SaniPLUS
It comes with a lot of parts and components, so it will take less time to find the right part. The kit includes a bowl and tank, as well as a macerating pumps.
It is a fairly standard design, but it doesn’t look outdated, is white and has an elongated bowl.
It is noted to be quite quiet in operation, which is great as no one wants to wake up in the middle night to the clunking or sloshing sounds from the tank and pump.
It can be installed up to 15 feet below the sewer line. This is a great option for basement toilets.
You are covered by a good warranty policy, up to 2 year. It gives you the peace of mind that youre covered in case something goes wrong.
You can expect to pay more for the add-ons than standard loos. Although this is a cost-effective way to pump sewage upwards it’s not a great option for people on a budget.
Liberty Pumps ASCENTII -ESW
This is ideal for bathroom remodeling, where it can be difficult to break through concrete or to push waste upwards. It can extend up to 150 feet from the connection to the sewer, septic tank or other drain. The line can also be as low as 25 feet. It is ideal for rooms deep in the house that require an effective solution.

It is equipped with a macerating system that breaks down waste efficiently and can be used for pumping.

This model requires batteries. It has an average life span of three and a quarter hours. The first batch of 1.9 volt batteries will be included in the purchase.

Saniflo SaniBEST
This kit includes the tank and the macerating pump to effectively remove the contents from your toilet.
This unit is noted for its heavy duty capabilities. It will use 7 Liters to flush and is quiet according to the manufacturer. This is something we look for in all our research. Some customers have complained about the pump activating loudly. If you don’t mind waiting until the morning to flush it, this is something to think about before buying.
The installation should be straightforward and the design is simple, but not too complicated.
This is not going to be cheap, however, like many other competitors. This would be more appropriate for people with a medium to high budget.
Why Would You Want One?
One reason these toilets are more common is the absence of a drain or pipe system in areas where there are bathroom facilities. These toilets can be installed in areas that are not intended for use as lavatories. Upflush toilets don’t require you to rip up floorboards or drill into concrete, which is why they are so popular and why there is a demand.
These three products are examples of great products that get a lot of positive feedback from the internet and have great features that can handle the task for which they were designed.
