How do you unclog a Saniflo toilet?
Firstly, switch off the Saniflo. For now, you may need to remove some of the waste by hand, especially if the waste threatens to overflow. Next, take some hot towels and place them along the length of your waste pipe. This should loosen up the frozen blockage and allow you to flush out the waste.

Can you use a plunger on a Saniflo toilet?
If you have a blockage with your Saniflo or macerator toilet it's not as simple as using a plunger to unblock it. Using a plunger on a macerator toilet could damage the macerator system so if there is a blockage it will need to be taken apart and cleaned.
How do you maintain a Saniflo toilet?
The macerator does not require any special maintenance; however, to ensure many years of good service, we recommend that you clean and descale your macerator regularly. Saniflo descaler is designed to remove scale while preserving the internal workings of your device.
Can you snake a macerating toilet?
Absolutely. Well, a clogged drain line can clear itself, given enough height of standing effluent. If the toilet's trap itself is clogged, sometimes, if you fill the water to near the top of the bowl it will unclog, but that would be more of a case of the water softening the stool until the flush can finish.
How do you clean a saniflo toilet pump?
Leave the toilet for approximately two hours with the mains power switched off. Reinstate the electricity supply to the Saniflo unit. The macerator and pump will start up and activate the toilet flushing mechanism. Wipe down outer surfaces with antibacterial spray and a clean cloth.
What to do if you get a blockage in your saniflo?
Because of this, if you get a clog or blockage in your Saniflo, you cannot simply plunge the toilet to unblock it or you may damage the macerator. Instead, take apart the system and manually clean it.
Is it possible to unblock a saniflo cutter?
Slip the bellows back to expose the cutter head and cage. It will be a bit cramped, but this is usually possible WITHOUT removing toilet or saniflo.
Why does saniflo not switch off when the pump flushes?
Saniflo does not switch off If the pump flushes and keeps flushing again and again, even when the macerator is clear, this could only mean there is a blockage somewhere in the system. Unfortunately, this blockage could be anywhere. The most common places you could find it is in the macerator, or in the pump.
