My Saniflo Toilet Macerator Is Blocked Up

If the water level is high in the toilet bowl, remove as much water as possible with a bucket to prevent overflow. Leaks can occur if the macerator is full.

My Saniflo Has Cut Out Mid-Cycle Whilst Emptying

This could be due to the thermal cut-off activating because of hot water running through the unit. Let the motor cool down before restarting. Reduce hot water usage from washing machines or baths. If it continues to cut out, turn the pump off at the wall.

My Toilet, Shower, Bath, or Basin Is Full of Water Backed Up

This usually means the Saniflo system has an internal or waste pipe blockage. Empty as much water as you can to prevent leaks. Consider seeking professional assistance to clear the blockage.

My Saniflo Won’t Switch On, Off, or Keeps Running

Possible causes include a blockage, damaged membrane, missing non-return valve, or a broken switch. If it’s not blocked, replacing the switch and membrane may resolve the issue.

My Saniflo Sounds Like It’s Going to Take Off (Vibrating)

A foreign object might be caught in the macerator blades, causing vibrations. This is usually repairable.

My Saniflo Sanivite Has Problems & Smells Horrible

It may need a manual clean-out. Avoid using harsh chemicals.

My Saniflo Is Buzzing, Humming, or Jammed

This could be due to a blown capacitor, a jammed mechanism, or a failed motor. The first two issues are repairable; a motor replacement might be necessary for the third.

My Electrics Keep Tripping or Fusing Out

This can be due to loose wires or water ingress into the electrics. Turn off the power immediately and seek professional inspection and repairs.

My Saniflo Keeps Starting on Its Own Intermittently

Causes may include a leaking tap, damaged membrane, or faulty switch. Replacing the membrane and switch together can resolve the issue.

My Saniflo Box Is Hot

The motor may be jammed. Disconnect the power immediately. Do not attempt repairs yourself as water and electricity are involved.

My Saniflo Pump Won’t Switch On and Won’t Work

Check for a damaged membrane, broken internal float switch, or a blocked unit. If none of these, the motor may have failed.

Saniflo Leaking Through My Ceiling

This usually happens when the unit is overfilled, possibly due to flushing twice or an appliance connected to the system overflowing. Turn off the water supply immediately.

My Saniflo Leaks Out of the Air Vent

Excessive use of bleach can shrink internal seals, causing leaks. Alternatively, the unit may be packed with waste and require a thorough clean-out.

My New Large Drum Washing Machine Is Flooding the Saniflo

Large-capacity washing machines (9kg or more) may overwhelm the Saniflo if the outlet pipe size is too small. Ensure you have a 33mm (1.25 inch) waste pipe.

My Bathroom Saniflo Won’t Drain Out but Works with the Toilet Flush

Hair or debris may be clogging the inlet valve. Cleaning out the inlet valve can resolve the problem.

How Reliable Is a Saniflo?

With proper care, a Saniflo unit can last many years. Descale annually and avoid flushing foreign objects to prevent motor damage.

How Noisy Is a Saniflo?

Modern Saniflo models are quieter than older versions. The flushing sound of a standard toilet is usually louder than the Saniflo’s operation.

Why You Need a Waste Maid Splash Guard

1. Prevents Water and Food Waste Splashes

The splash guard acts as a flexible barrier at the mouth of your waste disposer, significantly reducing the chances of water and food scraps splashing out of the sink during use. This is especially useful in busy kitchens, helping keep surfaces clean and hygienic at all times.

2. Simple to Install

Replacing your splash guard is a quick and easy task that requires no specialist tools. It’s designed to push snugly into place. A small drop of washing-up liquid around the rim can help ease it in smoothly, locking into the correct groove to hold firmly during operation.

Choosing the Right Splash Guard

Measure Before You Buy

Always confirm your model number before purchasing. While this splash guard is made to fit Waste Maid Classic units, measuring your disposer opening can ensure a snug and reliable seal. This step avoids returns or performance issues.

Rubber Quality Matters

Not all splash guards are made equal. Look for one manufactured from tough, odour-resistant rubber designed to endure heat, friction, and food waste impact. This guarantees long-term reliability and hygiene benefits.

How to Install a Waste Maid Splash Guard

Turn off the power to your waste disposal unit at the wall switch.
Gently remove the old splash guard by gripping the rubber and pulling upward from the drain opening.
Apply a drop of mild washing-up liquid to the new guard’s rim to help it slide into place.
Press the new splash guard evenly into the opening. It should snap into the groove securely.
Restore power and test the unit to ensure the guard remains in place during operation.
