I am buying a home that is on a slab. It has one bathroom and I am contemplating converting one bedroom to a masterbath. I would want to put a toilet in that room right on the backside of the wall from where the toilet is in the bathroom. Is there any whiz bang hardware that will make this easier? If not, then I should have minimal concrete floor to tear up to plumb for the new toilet.

Hi Jschee

They make a toilet that works off a macerator pump system that would not require you to break open the floor... called the saniflo system.

Click on this link for more information:

With that being said, I would discourage you from installing that system only because it is a mechanical system and can/will fail and need to be repaired/replaced every so often! Your best job will definitely be to break up the floor and install everything so that the toilet and other fixtures drain via gravity (i.e. for free! ).

Any more questions, just let me know, OK?

Thanks for what I think is pretty good advice. Only one real way to do anything. The right way! Jim

Nodding in perfect agreement, Jim! Pop back as you proceed with your project... always glad to help if I can (if not me, then the other 7-10 people that reliably participate on this page EVEYDAY will work fine, too! ).

Thanks Jim!!
