The Sanicubic 2 Classic is a powerful and efficient lifting station that is helpful for remote and commercial applications. With its dual motors and high capacity, the Sanicubic 2 Classic ensures smooth and reliable waste disposal, making it an ideal solution for off-grid properties.
What is the Sanicubic 2 Classic Lift Station?
The Sanicubic 2 Classic is a compact yet powerful lifting station, designed to handle both grey and black water in demanding environments. It is the perfect solution for off-grid properties like boat houses where traditional plumbing infrastructure is unavailable. Equipped with two powerful motors, the Sanicubic 2 Classic can manage wastewater from kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, offering a robust solution for both residential and commercial applications where reliable water disposal is needed.
Why Sanicubic 2 Classic is Perfect for Off-Grid Properties:
- Flexible Installation Options: The Sanicubic 2 Classic can be installed below the ground, in the basement, or in utility spaces, maximizing the use of limited space while ensuring efficient plumbing.

- Low Maintenance Design: Engineered for durability, the Sanicubic 2 Classic requires minimal maintenance, making it ideal for off-grid locations where frequent upkeep is not feasible.
- Dual-motor System: Sanicubic 2 Classic features a dual motor system that ensures if one motor fails or experiences an issue, the second motor takes over, providing continuous operation and minimizing the risk of system failure.

Bathroom Installation in Boat Houses
Plumbing Challenges in Boat Houses
Boat houses face unique plumbing challenges due to their off-grid nature. Without direct sewage connections, traditional plumbing systems are impractical, requiring innovative solutions for efficient wastewater management. Additionally, space constraints make it essential to find compact and effective alternatives for wastewater disposal.
How Sanicubic 2 Classic Solves These Issues
The Sanicubic 2 Classic offers tailored solutions for boat house bathrooms:
- Lack of Gravity-Based Drainage: Boat houses don’t benefit from gravity-assisted drainage systems due to their water-level positioning. The Sanicubic 2 Classic lifting station provides a gravity-free solution by using powerful pumps to lift and discharge waste vertically, ensuring smooth drainage even when the bathroom is located below or near water level.
- Multiple Inlets: The Sanicubic 2 Classic offers five inlets, allowing connection to various bathroom fixtures like WCs, washbasins, showers, and even washing machines, making it versatile for full bathroom setups in boat houses.
- Standard Pipe Connections: The unit is compatible with standard 1.5" and 4" pipes, making it easy to connect to typical bathroom drainage lines without the need for specialized fittings.
- Prevention of Backflow: Without gravity, there is a higher risk of wastewater backflow. Sanicubic 2 Classic’s non-return valves prevent backflow, ensuring that waste is only pumped out, not returned into the system.
- Built-in Alarm System: The Sanicubic 2 Classic has an integrated alarm system that alerts users to high water levels or potential blockages, preventing overflow and water damage in a boat house’s confined space.
Additional Applications of Sanicubic 2 Classic in Off-Grid Living
- Hill Stations: Ideal for vacation homes or lodges in hill stations that lack proper plumbing infrastructure, ensuring effective grey and black water management for guest facilities.
- Event Venues: At outdoor festivals or temporary setups, the Sanicubic 2 Classic lifting station provides reliable wastewater solutions, ensuring sanitation in remote event locations.
- Mobile Offices & Construction Sites: The Sanicubic 2 Classic supports portable restrooms and wash stations, essential for maintaining proper sanitation in remote work environments.
- Tourism Facilities: Eco-lodges and resorts in areas with limited plumbing infrastructure benefit from the Sanicubic 2 Classic’s ability to offer modern amenities while managing wastewater responsibly.
