Uniflo macerator

Posted by Cheryl Laird, on
Hi. I have a uniflo macerator installed under my kitchen sink in the basement. The washing machine is also installed. It has caused problems since day one. Struggling to pump water out (churning constantly) and now leaking. The company sent me a new pressure switch (which I changed myself due to being unable to get a plumber to look at this) however it is still the same.

Hi Cheryl, Unfortunately you are going to have a lifetime of problems with that set up, they always go wrong, every 2-3 years. I would either put in a proper drain or move your water using machines upstairs. You can spend a lot more money on a commercial set up which would be more reliable but it's probably cheaper to dig a drain.

What would you like to do now?
