Hi James Your macerator is out of guarantee so if you have technical knowledge you would be able to unblock your self. Go to saniflo website and there are instruction manuals for macerators download one and carry on what it sais there. Do not forget to drain it out first as all waste and extrements will flood your floor Best regards Rafal
Hi, first of all, is your waste pipework running outside and is it insulated ? The freezing weather can easily cause problems for uninsulated Saniflo waste pipework. It's more than likely jusy blocked though, I charge £120 to clear them but the danger is yhat there maybe damage uneconomical to repair and then you're looking at approx £ 500 to supply and fit new. Good luck. Lyndon.
Yea sounds very much like its blocked, it prob needs cleaning out Metro/rod do a good service for a one of fee Make sure you get that in writing before they Do it, sorry cant help more I'm in hospital at the Moment,regards Dave DC builders
Saniflo are the best manufacturers of macerators. They offer an engineer service to sort out problems. That would be my first port of call and I would say it is worth getting it repaired. Regards Tony
Hi James, firstly you need to turn the power to the macerator off if you can as you may run the risk of burning out the motor. secondly the problem sounds like a blockage in the pipe work, this needs to be unblocked/pipe replaced before turning the macerator back on. your current macerator should be fine after this. if you do decide to change the macerator then saniflo are generally the best. Hope thats of some help. James
HI please don't take offence but its a dangerous unit to be working with if you don't know what your doing as it has a very sharp propeller blade in side, best to call an eng. Regards Steve
Find the exact model and replace. Its easier in the long run and cheaper
