I have just installed a macerator toilet as a cloak room, so we now have a toilet on both levels of our house.
I got the macerator and toilet as a complete set from www.plumbworld.co.uk for £180 delivered.
The macerator is made by Hydrolux and has 3 inlets (toilet, basin & shower / bath) and I am using 2, toilet and hand basin.
All in all I am quite happy with the setup, the macerator can only just be heard over the flush so quite quiet really and it only blasts for about 2-3 second intervals at a time.
The problem I have is the water level in the toilet bowl is quite high, the water level is approx. halfway up the water bowl, I don't see any adjustment on the macerator air pressure switch (in fact you can't see the air pressure switch unless you strip the macerator down).
I just wandered if there is anything I can do to reduce the water level in the toilet bowl?

Installation is as follows.
3 inlets -
1 x toilet inlet used
1 x shower / bath inlet blanked off (this is at the bottom of macerator)
1 x basin inlet used (top of the macerator) I have a 32mm waste pipe fed into this inletwhich is running slightly downhill towards macerator over approx. a 1.5m run

Outlet
Outlet is fitted with a 40mm waste pipe running straight up by 1.2m with a non-return valve installed close to macerator and then into a sweeping 90o bend and runs slightly downhill for approx. 1.4m to the main down pipe for waste.

Knowing nothing about macerator bogs and purely looking at the pic I would guess the answer is "no".

I judging this on the height of the entrance pipe on the 'box'. If the water level were lower a LOT more water and force would be needed to force the waste up to the height of the entrance hole than the cistern can give.

i dont think you can it might be the toilet pan layout or the macerator not pumping everything away but i doubt its that

Thanks for the replies
I have found out if you hold down the manual override button for 30secs it resets and since doing this the macerator seems to be working fine.
Considering I only paid 180 quid for toilet, macerator and all fittings, I'm delighted now.
