Which Saniflo Do I Need? Sanisuite vs Saniswift vs Saniswift Multi vs Sanicondens SK6

Saniflo's new-generation range makes it possible to put a WC, bathroom, kitchen or utility room almost anywhere in your home — no soil stack nearby, no problem. But with four units in the line-up, which one do you actually need? Here's the short answer, followed by the detail.

The 30-second answer

Saniflo Sanisuite — best for adding a WC or en-suite

The Sanisuite is the classic macerator solution: it sits unobtrusively behind a close-coupled suite or low-level pan and takes waste from the WC and bathroom fittings. The motor starts automatically as water enters, and waste is pumped away through small-bore 32 mm pipework (or 22 mm with the supplied adapter) — up to 3.5 metres vertically or 45 metres horizontally, or a combination of both. That's what lets you put a cloakroom under the stairs, an en-suite in the loft or a WC in the basement without breaking ground for conventional drainage. It works with your choice of sanitaryware with a BS EN33 or EN37 horizontal outlet, needs no routine maintenance, and carries a two-year guarantee.

Saniflo Saniswift — best for kitchens, utility rooms and grey water

No toilet involved? The Saniswift is the value pick. It's a compact grey water pump with four inlets, handling waste water from a sink, shower, dishwasher and washing machine through 32 mm pipework. It's small enough to conceal inside a cupboard, which makes it the go-to for kitchen islands (where there's no drainage below the floor), utility rooms, garages and outbuildings. One important limitation: it cannot take a WC — for that you need the Sanisuite or the Saniswift Multi.

Saniflo Saniswift Multi — best for multiple fixtures and the longest pumping runs

The Saniswift Multi is the most capable unit in this line-up. Built around a strong rotomoulded tank with a 610 W motor, it offers six inlets in 40 mm and 110 mm diameters — so it can discharge a toilet, bidet, washbasin and/or shower, and also pump grey water from a kitchen sink, washing machine, dishwasher or bath. Performance is a step up too: a recommended maximum lifting height of 8 metres and horizontal discharge up to 80 metres. If you're fitting out a basement bathroom, renovating with awkward drainage runs, or connecting several appliances to one unit, this is the one.

Saniflo Sanicondens SK6 — best for boiler and air-con condensate

The Sanicondens SK6 does a different job entirely: it removes the acidic condensate produced by condensing boilers, dehumidifiers and air-conditioning units where no gravity drain is available. It runs fully automatically, lifts condensate up to 4.5 metres vertically, operates at a quiet 45 dB(A), and mounts on the wall. It can handle PRV output (though not discharge from an unvented cylinder) and comes complete with a non-return valve, 6 metres of flexible discharge pipe and fixings.

So which is best?

There's no single winner — it depends entirely on the job. If we had to sum it up: the Sanisuite is the best all-round choice for adding a WC or en-suite, the Saniswift is the best value where no toilet is involved, the Saniswift Multi is the most powerful and flexible of the four, and the Sanicondens SK6 is the specialist for condensate. Whichever you choose, every unit ships with fixings, carries a two-year Saniflo guarantee, and qualifies for next working day delivery when ordered before 3pm.
