Saniflo SaniGrind Grinder Pump (Toilet not Included) - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

I know nothing about the Saniflo system but I suggest you check in the supplied literature if any routine maintenance is recommended and if so I think it would be wise to do that before looking for further explanations (problems).

Hi mikevinde..
Sounds like you need to disassemble the pump and clean and oil the bearings.
Please take time to rate me

Your description sounds like plumbing from before bacteria was discovered. The output from a Saniflo macerator should be sent to a foul drain or cesspit and not a rainwater drain. Some authorities allow local rainwater runoff into foul drains but this situation is gradually being designed out. Could be your Saniflo installation didn't meet building regulations when it was installed. The fact it has been working fine for 2 years doesn't count for anything if it doesn't.

Sorry but they give you 8" for a reason, they did the testing etc. You might get by at 5" but that will probably just get by and limit the service life.

The "tank level" switch is stuck on. You may be able to clear it by cleaning the system/pump with a water hose (outside of course) so you will have to take the system apart then give it a good cleaning. May not help but at least you will have tried.

There is a product called Wham that works very well for this appplication.You will probably have to go to a plumbing supply outlet to find it. Just follow directions on container after you have the system clean and use monthly. It also helps with odor control. Hope this helps you. Thanks.

The sound you are hearing is the check valve.
Usually this valve is just above the pump.
It's nothing to be concerned about, it's a normal
noise, or it's the nature of the beast.

All my best to you.

First possible cause which comes to mind is a failing motor bearing. Try lubricatng the bearing and see if the noise changes.

Second could be the impeller breaking apart.

sounds like the pump is jamed with toilet paper or wipes.
You will have to take out the pump to un block it

Question edited for correct spelling of maker 'Noen' to 'Moen'. 'Fix' as in it is leaking? Or tighten it down because it is wobbly, or something completely different?
