A Saniflow unit, also known as a macerator, is a pump that grinds up waste and toilet paper into a slurry, allowing it to be pumped away through a small-bore pipe. This is particularly useful where a standard toilet drain isn't feasible, such as in a basement bathroom or an addition far from the main drain line. You might need a new Saniflow unit installed if you're adding a bathroom in a location where standard plumbing is difficult or expensive. Repairs are needed when the unit becomes blocked, noisy, or stops pumping effectively. Common issues are blockages from non-flushable items, motor problems, or wear and tear over time.

The cost for installation and repairs can vary depending on the complexity of the job and the specific Saniflow model. Generally, installations will be higher due to the need for plumbing connections and electrical work. Repairs can range from simple unblocking to replacing internal components.

Several signs indicate that your Saniflow unit needs attention. These include:

• Unusual or excessive noise during operation.
• The unit failing to pump waste effectively.
• Water backing up into the toilet or sink.
• Unpleasant odours coming from the unit.
• The unit running continuously or not turning on at all.
  If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to call us for a professional inspection to prevent further damage.

To keep your Saniflow unit running smoothly and avoid costly repairs, NEVER flush these items:

• Feminine hygiene products
• Wet wipes (even those labelled "flushable")
• Paper towels
• Cotton wool
• Nappies
• Food waste
• Hair
• Sanitary products
• Grease or oil
• Chemicals or solvents
  Only toilet paper and human waste should be flushed down a toilet connected to a Saniflow unit.
