Saniflo pumping

Jul 31, 2006 3 Replies

Hello,



I have a problem. My saniflo pump will not stop pumping during dry conditions.



Has anyone got any ideas



Many Thanks Neil



(a) Turn off mains electricity. Move house.

(b) Float switch in sump gunged[1] up. Degunge float switch.

[1] I'm being polite here.

It's not a float in mine, it is a washing machine type "level" switch, i.e. a diaphragm and a microswitch. Attach a bit of "screenwasher" tube to the unit and blow; it should click and switch off the motor. If it doesn't, the switch is faulty. Assemble this for testing with the power off, of course. (Also take the power off for removing the motor :-))

That'll be BLOW and not SUCK I assume?
