There are many good reasons to find yourself in the uncomfortable situation of needing to reach a distant drain stack, or one located higher up than a certain room in your home. Transforming a basement into a laundry room, for example, is one of these, but it could also be the desire to move your kitchen to a spot with better sun and light exposure—something often overlooked in the past. In all cases, the desire for renovation and life changes, such as a growing family, may require a better reorganization of your home's spaces. While getting hot and cold water supply pipes to any location isn't a big problem because the pipes are under pressure, getting rid of wastewater is trickier, as it flows away by gravity. The definitive solution, accessible to everyone in terms of cost and feasibility, is SaniVite 3, a white water pump produced by SFA Italia. The pump is compact and fits inside the sink cabinet, directly receiving the sink's drainage along with that of the washing machine. The water, as it collects, is evacuated through a small-diameter pipe (only 32 mm) to reach a stack or sewer pipe, even if it's far away or higher up compared to the new laundry room.
What's in the Box of SaniVite 3

The SaniVite 3 clear water pump is sold fully assembled; included in the package are the fittings and clamps needed to connect all possible pipes, rubber grommets and floor mounting elements, and plugs to hermetically seal the two low inlets if not used.
Possible Connections
SaniVite 3 has 4 inlets and 1 outlet. It can simultaneously receive the drainage from a sink (even a double one), a washing machine, and more. This makes it perfect for setting up a full home improvement laundry area in your basement or any lower level. For the best setup, pair it with a sturdy kitchen island or cart to hold your supplies, or a practical storage bench for folding clothes.
Positioning the SaniVite 3
The pump should be placed inside the sink cabinet, on the floor, and secured with the provided brackets. Ensure the inlet pipes are properly connected and the outlet pipe is routed towards your chosen drain. To keep the area organized, consider adding some wall decor or a mirror to brighten up the space. For a complete laundry room makeover, don't forget lighting to make the task easier.
Setting Up Your New Laundry Room
Once the pump is installed, you can connect your washing machine and sink. This setup allows you to place your laundry room anywhere, even in a basement or attic. To make the space more inviting, add a comfortable sofa or a rug for a cozy touch. If you have extra space, consider a desk or work surface for folding and sorting clothes. For outdoor laundry areas, explore our garden supplies and outdoor patio furniture to extend your living space.
