Sanicubic 1GR Boat Shed Case Study | Saniflo
How to achieve plumbing in a converted boat shed to guest accomodation.
The once humble boatshed is seeing a resurgence but not for its initial purpose. What was once a simple and practical storage shed is now receiving a major renovation, creating unique and enviable studio and guest accommodation.

“We are seeing a growing trend towards converting boat houses on waterfront properties in situations where people want to have added guest accommodation for friends and family, or to add to the value of their home.”
The Sanicubic 1 GR is ideal for sloping waterfront properties where a boathouse could be converted into additional accommodation.
Gregory Waters, Saniflo Australasia
In order to create these unique spaces, complete with a bathroom and kitchenette, renovators need the help of a recent Saniflo product, the Sanicubic 1GR.
The latest addition to Saniflo’s Sanicubic range, the Sanicubic 1GR meets a growing need in the market – the ability to achieve plumbing in sloping waterfront properties, such as boathouses, and on rural properties where the main drainage is too far away.
“We have seen a great deal of interest in our Sanicubic 1GR as it has the ability to lift very high (up to 20m vertically) compared to our other Sanicubics. This 20m vertical lift capacity makes it ideal for those properties that slope, such as waterfront homes and boathouses.”
The Sanicubic 1GR is a tough, reliable macerating lifting station with a powerful 2200W motor and an IP68 waterproof rating.
Mike Alborough, General Manager, Saniflo Australasia
The Sanicubic 1GR features a powerful 2200W motor, high flow rate performance, integrated non-return valves, external hard-wired audio visual alarm, and an IP68 waterproof rating. It can pump waste water 20m vertically or 200m horizontally, or a lesser combination of both.
The Sanicubic 1 GR also incorporates an intelligent pump controller, featuring operating hours, maintenance intervals and fault logging. A clever feature of this controller is the ability to monitor power consumption & adjustable parameters that set the pump’s working volumes through the increasing or decreasing of the switching levels. The ability to adjust these parameters to suit the customers’ particular application has the ability to not only save power but extend the working life of the pump motor itself. Besides the actual operational parameters, the controller system also saves the controlling process and records any irregularities which can be displayed on the LCD screen.
The controller system is operated via program settings, which are displayed on the LCD screen
After conversion, the boat houses feature a loft bedroom, bathroom and adjoining balcony, as well as a spacious kitchenette and living space at ground level with enviable waterfront views. Without the help of Saniflo, the wet areas in these boat house studios would not have been possible.
