Product Information

Full details

The FlowPro FP400 is an ideal solution for homeowners and contractors looking to add a full bathroom in spaces where traditional gravity-fed drainage is not possible, such as basements or lofts. It offers the key benefit of handling waste from a WC, basin, shower, and bidet simultaneously with its robust 400W motor, though users should note that consistent maintenance is required to ensure long-term performance and prevent blockages.

FAQs

Can I install the FP400 myself?

While the unit is designed for easy installation, electrical connections should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance.

What is the maximum temperature of water it can handle?

The FP400 is designed for standard domestic wastewater; avoid using it with extremely hot water (above 40°C) from commercial machinery.

How often does it need maintenance?

We recommend descaling every 3-6 months depending on local water hardness and frequency of use.

Does it require a special type of toilet?

It is designed to work with standard horizontal outlet WCs.

What happens during a power cut?

Do not flush the toilet during a power cut as the unit will not be able to macerate or pump the waste away.

Troubleshooting

Motor runs but does not pump water

Check the discharge pipe for blockages or ensure the non-return valve is not obstructed.

Unit makes a loud grinding noise

A foreign object may be caught in the macerator blade. Turn off power and inspect the chamber.

Motor fails to start

Check the RCD/Fuse box to ensure power is reaching the unit and confirm the unit is not overheating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard plumbing tools and a reliable electrical outlet protected by an RCD. The unit includes a side outlet for flexible plumbing orientation.

Ensure the pipework from the unit has a minimum gradient of 1:100 if pumping horizontally.
Secure the unit to the floor to prevent movement during the maceration cycle.
Regularly clean the unit using a specialized macerator descaler to prevent limescale buildup.
Avoid using harsh chemical drain cleaners, as they can damage the internal rubber seals.
