How to create a bathroom away from drainage connections: Planus solutions

Creating a bathroom in a space without a traditional drainage connection is now much easier than in the past. Thanks to modern macerating and pumping systems, it is possible to build a complete bathroom even in areas far from the soil stack, without invasive demolition or complex structural work.

Lofts, basements, garages, annexes, residential facilities, holiday homes or laundry rooms can be transformed into fully functional spaces using compact, technologically advanced solutions. This is where toilets with integrated macerators and macerating pump boxes come into play.

Planus solutions are designed to provide greater design freedom, making it possible to create new bathroom spaces even where no traditional system is available. An approach that combines innovation, reliability and ease of installation.

Is it possible to create a bathroom without a traditional drainage connection?

Yes. Today, a bathroom can be created even in spaces without a nearby soil stack, thanks to systems designed to macerate and pump wastewater towards the most suitable discharge point.

This requirement is increasingly common in modern renovations, particularly when an existing space needs to be enhanced without radically altering the original system. A loft, basement, annex or small utility area can become a functional environment, even when it was not originally designed to accommodate a drainage connection.

In these cases, a toilet without a traditional drainage connection refers to a solution that does not rely solely on the natural fall of the pipes and the soil stack. Instead, it uses macerating and pumping systems to convey wastewater through small-diameter pipes.

How to create a bathroom far from the soil stack

In most cases, the main limitation, in addition to the complete absence of a drainage connection, is the distance from the soil stack. In traditional systems, drainage works by gravity and requires precise pipe gradients. When the bathroom is too far from the stack, connecting it to the existing system can become complex.

This is where Planus solutions simplify the installation.

Macerating pump boxes and toilets with integrated macerators can transport wastewater to the soil stack through compact pipework, reducing the need to break floors, alter levels or create new invasive routes.

This approach creates new possibilities in renovation and space conversion projects: a technical room can become a laundry room, a basement can accommodate a complete bathroom and a residential property can be reconfigured with greater freedom.

Planus macerating pump boxes: the practical solution for a bathroom without invasive building work

Macerating pump boxes are one of the most effective solutions for creating a bathroom without a traditional drainage connection.

Their operation is simple but highly effective: the system collects the wastewater, macerates it and pumps it through compact pipes to the available discharge point.

This avoids much of the building work normally required for conventional installations.

These solutions are backed by more than thirty years of Planus experience in automatic pumping systems. Expertise also developed in the marine sector, where reliability and continuous operation are essential.

All systems are designed and assembled in-house in Italy, with particular attention to build quality, quiet operation and long-term durability.

BROYSAN 4 UP: the macerator for a complete bathroom

One of the most advanced solutions in the Planus range is the complete and versatile BROYSAN 4 UP macerating pump box.

Unlike conventional toilet macerators, BROYSAN 4 UP does not manage only the toilet. It can connect up to four separate drainage outlets. This means that a complete bathroom can be created by connecting the toilet, washbasin, shower and bidet to a single system.

This versatility makes it particularly valuable in renovation projects and wherever spaces need to be redesigned intelligently.

BROYSAN 4 UP is also the only system with an IP68 protection rating, providing greater safety and reliability.

Particular attention has also been given to maintenance. Top access to the filter basket allows quick and practical servicing without complex disassembly, reducing downtime and simplifying system management.

It is not simply a toilet macerator, but a design tool capable of significantly expanding bathroom installation possibilities.

Toilet with integrated macerator: the ideal solution where there is no soil stack

In addition to macerating pump boxes, there are also toilets with integrated macerators, a solution increasingly appreciated in contemporary renovation projects.

In this case, the macerating and pumping system is built directly into the sanitary fixture. The result is a compact, discreet and visually cleaner solution, ideal for modern interiors.

A toilet with an integrated macerator makes it possible to install a bathroom even without a traditional drainage connection, using small-diameter pipes and significantly reducing invasive work.

Planus toilets with macerators also incorporate exclusive technologies such as DUAL FLUSH for water saving and the All-in-One solution, which allows the washbasin, shower and bidet drains to be connected directly through the toilet.

Toilets with integrated macerators eliminate the need for a conventional cistern, reducing costs, installation time and complexity.

What is the difference between a macerating pump box and a toilet with an integrated macerator?

The two solutions are often confused, but they meet different requirements.

Macerating pump boxes are separate from the sanitary fixture and provide greater design flexibility. They are practical to install and allow easy maintenance.

Toilets with integrated macerators, on the other hand, incorporate the entire system directly into the sanitary fixture. This makes them more compact. The main difference is aesthetic, making them ideal for modern interiors and streamlined installations.

The advantages of a toilet without a traditional drainage connection

Choosing a macerating system provides greater freedom when designing a space.

Additional bathrooms, laundry rooms and kitchens can be created much more easily, avoiding invasive building work and making use of spaces that were previously difficult to exploit.

Modern macerating technologies also provide reliable, quiet systems designed for everyday use.

This makes Planus solutions particularly suitable not only for domestic renovations, but also for hospitality facilities, holiday homes and advanced residential projects.
