    Saniplus not working, Help please
    We have been in our house nearly 2 years which already had an en suite with a saniplus unit - this takes the water from shower, sink and loo.

    It has now stopped taking the water away, and when you turn on the power it justs humms a bit and then stops, then a few minutes later humms again, but doesn't seem to be doing anything. When you flush the loo it just fills up and when you run the sink tap it just fills up the shower tray.

    We have managed to get the top off and clean all the inside out (which was disgusting!) and nothing appears to be blocking the motor or the blades that we can see.

    Any ideas? Monies a bit short and can't afford a plumber at the mo.

    Thanks in advance!

    Sounds like one of several things.
    1) The impeller's blocked and can't turn **OR**
    2) a shorted motor winding
    What ever it is it's throwing the overload out. Do you wish to work on this yourself or are you going to call in outside help? Regards, Tom
