It sounds like you may have broke a piece off the impeller vanes.This may have gotten caught in between the outer rim of the impeller and the pump housing. You will have to take the base off the pump to clean and inspect.Thank you

My saniflo keeps on grinding

It is possible that your pump is about done but before I condemmed it I would remove pump and wash it out .Remove intake shroud and make sure there is nothing wrapedc around pump shaft.Also make sure that the float is free. I would inspect check valve on the discharge line to make sure that it is closing completly and not just allowing contents of discharge to run back into pit and continually causing pump to run. Best of luck. Thank you

My Sanilflo system is fed

The amount of time that the pump operates is determined by the amount of water that is drained into the unit. If the amount of water from the sink is less them the amount flushed then the pump will run accordingly.

Our Saniflow motor unit has

Sounds like the level switch has debris stuck under it preventing it from switching off - disconnect the power and remove the lid. The level switch is the oval shped object next to the motor, there is a diaphragm on its underside which rises under the influence of rising water level, tripping a microswitch to start the pump. Check for free space under the diaphragm or stiffnes of the diaphragm reducing its moveability - this stiffnes or hardening of the diaphragm is often caused by abnormal liquids being poured down the drain such as paint thinners etc.

I have a saniflo macerator toilet system and when

Did you put an 1 1/2" vent pipe? It must be vented to the open air. Air must flow in and out of the vent pipe at all times so it can work properly. I had the same issue but after removing the cheater vent from the vent pipe it solved my problem. They do not recommend using an air admittance valve, cheater or mechanical vent on the vent pipe, as it only allows air to flow in or out.

Local authority state saniflow may choke at rainwater trap and will not accept saniflow going into rainwater drain

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.

The pump continues to pump after it is flushed. The toilet flushes fine but after a few seconds the pump starts again. It does not seem like water is running. What do I do?

I experienced this exact same issue last month. I didn't think much of it, but decided to have our residential plumber come and look at it. It turned out that our water was running constantly and that it had to be turned down some. It was a very simple fix. Now, I am not sure whether or not that is your exact issue, but you might want to adjust the levels that your water runs at. There should be a knob behind your toilet that you can twist and turn to do that. However, if that doesn't work you might have to snake it to see if there is anything wrong going on in the pipes.

Saniflo says the bottom of shower should be 8" from floor. But what is the lowest the shower can be and still function ok?? Will 5" give enough slant? Or, how high does the water get in the sanibest u

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.
