Loud grinding noise from saniflo sani-slim unit when flushed. the unit appears to be struggling to work with just a clean flush/no waste producing the loud grinding noise whilst at the same time the unit vibrates a lot?
Take the pump out and haul it outside and spray it off and check in the bottom of the pump to make sure there isn't anything stuck in there. then shop vac the bottom of the tank out to make sure there isn't anything funky in there that would get clogged in the pump. sometimes the out let line gets clogged as well you can buy a drain king ( it's a rubber deal that hooks on the end of a hose and when you turn water on it swells up and sprays water out) then stick it in the outlet pipe and let her rip and see if it lets the water through.
If the apple core was right at the pump intake at the time the pump kicked on it very well may have been the problem. The pumps in those units are not the strongest in the world anyway. They are not made to grind up anything that has any bulk to it.
So the answer to the question in my opinion is yes. But you well want to keep a close eye on it for a while.
