Brand New Saniflo Macerator Won't Run

[Jock Spanners]

Evening All,
I went to fit a new macerator today - a job I usually try and avoid. After two hours of dismantling boxing and wrestling with an inaccessible fused spur I got it in, switched it on and nothing! It's got power and water. I've checked everything. What can it be? I assume there's a flow switch/microswitch. I've fitted plenty of them before and for £500 I'd expect it to work. Anyone here know anything about Rubbish mincers?

Jock.

Make and model is a good place to start and what else if anything is also connected to it?

It turns out that once you commission a Saniflo you can't return it - they send out their local service engineer. I took it to mine, he dismantled it and found that someone had dropped it in transit breaking a plastic spigot which affected the flow switch. Once he fixed it back in place it worked. Unfortunately the customer had a much bigger bill than she should have done.

Oh well at least next time (if there is one) you will know to leave the pump in place and let the expert come to you free of charge.
