Sorry mate.

My mind wondered off then.

Ah the dreaded Turboflush! Now this is going to sound really daft but if the end of the wires had what looks like metal lugs on the end then cut them off, bare back the insulation, twist the bare wires (as you would when wiring a plug) and then rewire into the switched spur you have there.

Thanks for your replies!
Yes they did have metal lugs which I thought were to keep all the strands together clean. Could this be my issue then ? And was I meant to strip them I didn’t see anything in the booklet.
I have had to leave site to attend another job but will try this tomorrow or Monday

No you weren't told to strip the wires back and even though it makes no sense it can work.

Another possibility is that water is being syphoned out when the motor stops so water level is low which doesn't help.

When you go back flush the toilet and wait until the cistern refills then if it hasn't burst into life give the left hand side of the tank a gentle kick. If it starts then call the warranty guys in.

Thanks for the photos they made life easier.
One thing though, the discharge elbow is rubber as is the Grey connecter you used to join it to the solvent weld pipe, did you use a short length of pipe inbetween, rubber on rubber isn`t a good joint.

Yes so the discharge elbow and grey coupling have a piece of 30mm pipe inside to ensure jubilee clips can be nice and tight.

Okay so I’m back and cut the wires and it’s all switched on. It doesn’t kick in when the basin is on ?! So can flud if the tap is left running but it’s kicking In when I flush it now

After more tests. I run the basin tap which is connected into lower outlet and the sani will not pump away. It starts to fill up the pan. If I then immediately after flush the toilet the sani does not pump away.

Flush
Wait 2 mins

If nothing
Gentle kick on left or gentle thump on top

Does it now work

Nothing. It’s very temperamental. Seems to be workinh then not. Should it kick in when basin is in use ?

rpm · Feb 22, 2019

It should
Sounds like pressure switch misbehaving
Could be damaged in transit
Isolate all water
Call the warranty phone number

Good news. Screwfix have sent a new pump and do not want the old one.

rpm · Feb 23, 2019

Bad news. You have to dispose of the old one in a responsible manner.

Put it on fleabay, used once, customer found it to be noisy, complete with unregistered warranty card, no returns, bargain at £55 + postage

rpm · Feb 23, 2019

Nothing optimistic about it harvest, fitted loads of customer supplied pumps from fleabay which don`t work, even had a 10yr old pump where customer had been told it was only 2yr old and had been hardly used! Robbing bar stewards out there.

The optimistic wasn’t about you mate. It was about EBay. Sold a 1 month old Bristan tap on eBay with a warranty card. They then decided they had a fault with it after 3 weeks. I explained they needed to go to Bristan. EBay automatically gave them a refund from my account without even talking to me. I hate EBay. The seller has no protection what so ever.
