Can Macerators Be Repaired

With the obvious dangers of water and electric it is recommended that only a trained technician is given the job of repairing the macerator. If the motor has become damaged or is faulty then a specialist engineer will need to install a new macerator as the motor will be unrepairable.

How do I unblock a Saniflo macerator?

Firstly, switch off the Saniflo. For now, you may need to remove some of the waste by hand, especially if the waste threatens to overflow. Next, take some hot towels and place them along the length of your waste pipe. This should loosen up the frozen blockage and allow you to flush out the waste.

How long do Macerators last?

The general rule about macerators is that the machine is an added 2nd toilet and is only built good enough for a small amount of traffic, which should last for up to 10 years depending on the use. If the macerator is being used in high traffic for example student accommodation, then you would expect about 3 years.
