How do I stop my Saniflo from smelling?
Bad smells can be due to a build-up of limescale and human waste in the 2-3 inches of water that’s always left in the Saniflo. To see if it’s your Sanilfo that’s emitting the bad smell, flush your toilet or fill your basin with water and then unplug it.
How does a Saniflo compact work?
Basically, how a WasteAway or Saniflo toilet works is through macerator technology. ‘Macerator’ means ‘chopper’, so Saniflo and WasteAway units first churn solid waste and toilet paper into a liquid. They then use their pumps to discharge this liquid through pipes as small as one inch (25mm) diameter.
How much space do you need for a Saniflo toilet?
The Saniflo Sanicompact has an horizontal discharge of up thirty metres and a vertical discharge of up to three metres and this powerful compact macerator measures no more that a standard WC so the space it takes up is kept to a minimum….Specifications.
| Type | Macerator |

Can you run a washing machine through a Saniflo?
If your Saniflo system is connected to a washing machine or dishwasher, steer clear of using the 90 degree hot wash cycle. This can cause the motor to overheat and cut out mid-cycle while emptying. Once it has cooled down, the motor will restart. However, it’s best to avoid using hot wash cycles where possible.
How do I clean my Saniflo?
Pour 1-2.5 litres of Toilet Cleaner & Macerator Descaler into the toilet bowl. Turn the macerator pump on for a few seconds to allow the descaler to enter the macerator. Turn the macerator off again and allow to work for 2 hours. Do not flush the toilet during this time.
Can you use vinegar in a macerator toilet?
White Vinegar, as in regular household, kitchen variety. Vinegar will do the job without harming rubber seals. It will easily descale most lime build ups. You should likely mix with plain water in a 25×75 mix, depending on how much you intend to use.
Can you use vinegar to clean a Saniflo toilet?
Yay! Show activity on this post. I’m a Saniflo repair specialist in the UK, don’t use vinegar or other concoctions like Coca-Cola etc to clean out a Saniflo macerator as it does not work. Saniflo’s that are not descaled will eventually start misbehaving.
