Plumbing Rookie Installs her first Sanipit Grinder Pump: Rookie & the Coach
Come watch as our rookie gets her hands dirty with sewage!
Our plumbing rookie Leah Den Hartogh, aka the editor of Plumbing and HVAC Magazine, installs her very first grinder pump with the help of Saniflo and her plumbing coach Chris.
In this video, Leah is replacing an old sewage pump with Saniflo's Sanipit 24GR 1HP Grinder Pump. The Sanipit 24GR is a pre-assembled retrofit pump kit with a built-in 1-HP grinder used to pump away waste water from several bathrooms and fixtures from an entire building structure. This system is able to discharge the waste up to 25 feet vertical and/or 328 feet horizontal. It incorporates a grinder system which is ideal for uncontrolled environments in both residential and commercial applications.
Let us know how she did and if there are any other installation jobs we can send Leah to!

Once you said Hydrogen...we all know you are a scam.
Typical - us Scots inventing new tech… again 🤣😂🤣
I don’t know about this company. I called several times to their product knowledge line, and no one knew anything about this product. No one‘s giving any information about the release date or if it’s even something you can buy at this time. I wonder the price point. I think I’m just gonna go with the brand. Soleus air, usually accompanies customer service represents the product and this was pretty bad.
I hate to point this out, but with the size of the mechanical room, just put some 1m3 tanks in series and you get the best of all worlds. Thermal stratification, heat exchange, durability. There's a company in California promoting this for load shifting space heating and DHW on variable tariffs and central air hvac. This is just not going to be cheap enough to make any differenc in the big picture.
Interesting unit. Seriously considering it. Your camera movement needs improvement. Constant movement, often to places not showing anythings. Stationary on one side fo the window and the on the other while talking. I'm dizzy.
What is the noise level? No, a 220 lb package unit where I need a jet pack or a second muscle man helper to work on the outdoor section won’t fly.
I like the product, but I think we should make it easier to install split unit heat pumps across the US. In NYC permitting is hard with spit units. But it has picked up steam in Queens in the last few years. Getting common now like the ROW
Why not use also an air to brine exchanger to supplement energy in spring and fall? This can put even more heat into the ground.
I have done here with Germany cost a lot of calculations. Phase change materials are interesting but not real cost effective compared to water. Especially the shown PCM in hand warmers. It will not work in such a system, because if it is triggered it will run until all material is solid. But you can use e.g. paraffine with a phase change temperature about 60°C. But there are issues with the heat exchanger. When it get solid you have a big thermal insulater at the heat exchanger. And for cost reason it will only work for a short term storage e.g. some days. For long therm (one year) you need a huge amount of PCM. I my opinion for a long term heat storage simple water is the best PCM. It is cheap and it has in interesting feature to same the heat exchanger from isolating with the the solid material. Water has its highest density at about 4°C. So every see is freezing from top to buttom. So you can build the heat exchanger at the buttom and the water colder than 4°C will rise to the top. But you need about 115m³ water for thermal equivalent of 1000 liter heating oil. And of course you need additional a heating pump plus some electrical energy to transfer the 4°C water to 40°C water for heating. If you dont like the heat pumpe, you will need e.g. parafine - but you need the double amount of it. So its a big cost issue.
Too expensive
$3,000 per unit is chump change compared to pulling new wire and upgrading existing electrical service to handle central HVAC when the previous heating was a boiler. I'd love to have one of these for my home because it'd be way cheaper than replacing my current older heat pump and air handler.
hot and cool.. this is cutting edge. probably can't afford gen1
For now Midea's achilles heal, they need vertical windows to work, 80% of houses in Ca. have slide windows. I am lucky I wanted vertical lift windows installed in my house, so I have a 12k unit to assist with my central air.
These are being made for a captive audience, complex owners that HAVE to retrofit their units to the new standard, these will be certified. So yes the price is important but meeting standards are just as important.
Now make the price under $1000
can we combine it by using residential pv pannel and it heat water upto 60 degree c ?
How many amps does this need? Sure it needs 115 volt but like space heaters they need more often to be on a sperate breaker.
Hmmmm ....9K BTU? That is kinda weak. So you're going to need a couple of these units, minimum.
This would have been great when I was stuck with baseboard heat in a rental
The obviouis question is...... Where to buy in Canada? Took a brief look earlier and nothing came up.
$3,000 ?? Not gonna happen. it's a Window unit. Should cost twice the price of a standard AC window unit.
Calculate the savings on your heating and cooling electricity bill when using this heat pump versus the standard technology of a standard AC. Also, there might be rebates.
If it's actually a maintainable appliance and not disposable, that puts the justifiable price up quite a bit. For a first generation product in limited run production, I think $3k is high but not absurd.
Might be worth it if it could heat/cool the whole apartment, but doesn't 9K BTU seem a bit under powered? Not sure one unit would cut the proverbial mustard.
@@vcp93 450 square feet on the high end? It's enough if you're already covered by a small/medium window unit, probably.
agreed, it is too much money when there at mini-split units at cost for half.
Could you provide some examples (manufacturer/model) of the diverts that could be use on slide 36 and slide 37?
😄 "Promo sm"
Availability in the USA? MSRP?
Very informative interview. I live in a very small brick home that is only 646 square feet and I'm looking for something like this in the future when the prices come down. One of their competitor's Gradient is selling their unit for about $5000 (US dollars) when they originally estimated it would be about $1999 and that's too much for me when I can just buy a $300 window air conditioner to keep my small home comfortable.
Does not Midea make a U Shape AC/Heater unit already? I have the AC unit but not one that heats.
@@Moondoggy1941 no its just ac
honestly, a small heat/cool mini split would be a far better solution and runs circles around a window ac energy consumption wise if you go Seer2
Looks like a lot higher cost to the home owner both for the initial investment and maintenance. And only 140 degree water for heating and not as efficient as natural gas. This decision is not being driven by economics.
I saw a lot of cool innovations, like the handles, it's fold able for install etc... But both the ad I saw that lead me here, and the video both, make it sound like this is the first time anyone has made a window heat pump.That's not true, I have used window heatpumps from several different manufacturers. Ranging from 8k btu up to 28k btu. When we bought our current trailer, we decided to turn down the central unit, so we could keep using the window heat pump units. But, I will definitely check this out, I do need to add one.
What is the typical delta T in cooling mode for this unit?
this tech is nothing new. these were everywhere is the 50-60's they all got replaced due to leaks.
excellent
Now make one for SLIDE windows! Why is it so much bigger and less powerful than the unit Midea sells on Amazon for $500? (It is the size of a small air conditioner and is 12000 BTUs, but only heats down to 41degrees - no defrost cycle)
Bingo !!! I have a sunroom with slide windows. I'm wondering whether I can convert one window to a vertical.
Slide windows would be great, it should be doable... It might take a big box.
Nice, always wanted to see the inside of one of these units
one of those outdoor units hooked up to the indoor unit AND an air handler would be very neat as a drop in replacement for a furnace and a tankless water heater
Energy density. If this isn't explicitly mentioned, it's snakeoil. YOU'RE WELCOME!
lol
Oh! Its an NH3 absorption unit with the natural gas burner acting as the Generator! Is this ANESI product or EEE going to be present at the CMPX in Toronto in 2 weeks?
Michael and the Team Eden crew will be at the show. As will our team doing interviews and videos in booth 3 at CMPX.
You didn't ask the really important questions of when it's going to be available and what's the target price range. Touting the technology isn't useful if nobody can buy it. My landlord really wants to put in heat pumps because my idiot neighbors like to run their thermostats at 78º and he's paying for the natural gas for the building's boiler. He's thinking of putting in mini-splits, but they're not cheap and neither is the installation. I told him he should wait for these, but he's getting impatient. He wants to do it this year, 2025 at the absolute furthest out.
landlords learned this many years ago: set real temp to 69-72 degrees F. Put in fake thermostat enclosed within locked clear plastic thermostat cover product. Tenant will sneak a paperclip in there and feel oh so clever.
Target price is ballpark $3k based on the NYC contract it's designed to fit.
@@daniellewis1789 Hope so, but there's no official word and that may not be the case. Gradient was the other company chosen for the contract and they've set the retail price of their unit at $5000.
Ive heard midea will be 3k gradients version will be 3,800-5k
@@mikemotorbike4283 id assume that the tenant would just use window shakers or space heaters
There's nothing wrong with moving parts as long as they were originally designed to move. The opposite is just propaganda and promotion.
Well said and we agree. We would counter no moving parts is also a positive.

Same question here
This is awesome! I have a large house and I would have to put a mini split in so many rooms it really didn't save me any money and it wouldn't save electricity but I think this might work! But I don't like to buy things when they first come out I want to wait until they get the glitches worked out of them😅 Also my concern is will it keep your house warm when it's 11° outside? That's my concern for heat pumps?😢 Thanks for posting this I'm still on the fence and my Lennox is on its last leg but I think I'm going to wait and see how this works... I'm really excited that especially with the size and if it really saves US money 😁🙏🇺🇲
I have 2 midea u shape air units, so far I have been impressed. There not a year old yet so we will see how long they last and if there is a problem how easy it is to service them. That unit would be great in Florida because you could run it on a Generator in a emergency. I wonder what Midea is doing about having qualified techs to service them around the country. So many people I know installed mini splits but can't find anyone to service or repair them.
availability is key. I can't even find this on their website.
I have just installed one these, very heavy 178 kg for 210 lt equivalent. So a house job would be hard. Be good if did a clip on how to install. Shame it won't take solar hot water like a cylinder. I am sure its doable.
So how much does it cost?
I’m in northern Va, near DC, would b e appreciated if I can get with my radiant floor and domestic hot water!
Where can I get this system, I’m building new house starting in January 2024, I would love to get more information!
At czcams.com/video/pjOCL9LBRVg/video.htmlsi=AnN6o4AFPyT8ybZm&t=1332, why is the low COP (2.6) circled at the 5gpm/130ELT while the "comparison" circle of 3.6 is at 10gpm/100 ELT. It would seem to me that the 30 degree ELT difference is a bigger driver of the COP increase than the increased flow. Thanks for the video, really appreciate it - I have an Arctic heat pump (035ZA/BE) w/a nominal flow volume of 6.5gpm and have been curious about the setting on my circulator pump.
If I understand the technology correctly, it utilizes PCM that undergoes a phase change at 58°C, making an ASHP unnecessary. I own a heat pump and use it to heat water to 42°C without mixing it with cold water. To address the issue of Legionella, I heat my water cylinder to 65°C once a week. So in terms of energy efficiency I don't see a use case for this device.
Thank you for the insightful comment, and you've made a crucial point about the importance of managing water storage conditions to prevent bacterial growth. Indeed, Legionella bacteria typically pose a risk in water temperatures between 20°C and 45°C. Your practice of heating your water cylinder to 65°C weekly is an effective strategy to mitigate this risk. However, the unique advantage of PCM batteries like this one is that, in addition to its ability to store and release both sensible and latent energy, it doesn't involve storing any water volume. This key feature means that concerns about bacteria, such as Legionella, are not relevant in the same way they are for systems that store water, such as traditional water cylinders. This aspect of PCM technology is similar to tankless water heaters, which also do not hold water and thus reduce the risk of bacterial growth. This makes PCM an innovative and safer option in many applications.
No one has ever died from a hot water take via legionella in the UK. Waste energy heating it up really.
So can I use this for both Potable water and Radiant floor heating with Glycol? Meaning they won’t mix, having two different in put and out put, hence, ports ABCD? I would like to know if I can use this in an RV Camper? Thank you in advance!
That's a fascinating application for this technology, and Michael our host a month ago had a conversation with his colleague about installing it in an RV. The idea of equipping an RV with this unit that includes a built-in 2.8kw element is intriguing. This setup, combined with a small solar PV array on the roof, could effectively charge the unit, providing a substantial amount of stored energy. With approximately 48,000 BTUs of energy storage capacity, this model could efficiently heat the RV or provide domestic hot water. There are smaller units as well that if you hit our host on linkedIn he can help you with. The double pass heat exchanger design of the unit allows it to be used for heating and domestic. The PCM materials are both environmentally friendly and safe for humans. This is an important consideration, especially in a mobile setting like an RV where the risk of damage and leaks might be higher. It's great to see such innovative ideas being explored, and this particular application could revolutionize the way energy is used and stored in mobile homes and RVs. Thank you for sharing this insightful concept - it's an excellent contribution to the ongoing discussion about sustainable and efficient energy solutions!
