My Saniflo Toilet Macerator Is Blocked Up

If the water level is high in the toilet bowl, empty as much as you can in to a bucket and get the water level down to the bottom as water will leak out of the Saniflo and on to the floor and maybe through the ceiling if it is quite messy put as many towels around the macerator to soak up any waste water.

Saniflo Leaking Through My Ceiling

This is because the motor has malfuntioned and the toilet has probably been flushed twice and overfilled the Saniflo box, water then leaks out of the air vent. If the toilet was not flushed then water from a washing machine or a hand basin will flood the Saniflo if it has not activated. Do not use any appliances connected to the Saniflo until it has been repaired.

My Saniflo Leaks What Should I do

Get a bucket and a small scoop and get the water level in the toilet back down to the normal position, if the Saniflo is not connected to a toilet then you will have to use dry towels  to mop up any leaking water until you get a service engineer.
