Rear outlet toilets

Hello,

I'm looking into adding a bathroom in my basement, and I'm interested in using a rear-outlet toilet with a macerating box made either by zoeller (the qwik jon ultra) or saniflo (the sanigrind). I know that both zoeller and saniflo offer complete packages with toilets, but the toilets that come with these systems look pretty sub-par to me.

It looks like what I'll need for either the qwik jon ultra or the sanigrind is a rear-outlet toilet. I'm having a hard time finding any rear outlet toilets online. I found an old post in this forum talking about the Gerber floor mounted rear outlet toilet model 21-310. That looks nice, but I'm not sure if that type of toilet (flushmate) would work with the grinder box.

I guess what I'm after is just a very standard looking and operating toilet that has a rear outlet and is floor mounted that will work with a macerating box. Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Chris

If you put a sump somewhere, you could take care of a full bathroom. I had the impression that a Flushmate valve required a large supply line, not typically available in a residential unit.

I had a [Sloan] Flushmate in an old A/S Cadet. It works fine with a small supply line -- an internal pressure tank fills at whatever rate the line supplies, and when it's full it's at line pressure. I'm on a well, and it seems like it always wound up at the high-pressure limit. When you flush, all hell breaks loose, and the water in the tank is forced out the large opening into the bowl at high pressure. Does a really good job of imitating the commercial toilet which does use a huge supply line.

Thanks for the info about the Flushmate.

The room I'm working with is very small, only room for a sink and bowl, so I don't think I'm going to go the sump route.

I'd really like to hear some someone who has used either the Sanigrind or the Qwik Jon Ultra with a rear-outlet toilet. I'm especially interested in hearing about experiences with the Qwik Jon Ultra since it's a fairly new product and I haven't seen any reviews out there yet.

Thanks again.

Put it in and let us know! I'm not a fan of saniflo units. If you would just be my guinea pig on the Zoeller unit...

IMHO A pit is best and everything else is a poor substitute!

I'm not thrilled about being a guinea pig, but I'm not thrilled about breaking the floor either, so I think I'm going to give the Zoeller system a try.

Btw, I mistyped earlier, the system is called the Zoeller Qwik Jon Ultima, NOT Qwik Jon Ultra.

Make sure you keep us updated over time as to how well it works or, doesn't.
