This gets more and more interesting...............
According to Saniflo, the Sanibest is suitable for:-

"Macerator and pump for discharge of waste and water from WC, shower, washbasins and urinals. Ideal for offices, hotels & guest houses"

http://www.saniflo.co.uk/Sanibest.aspx

The only unit suitable for a washing machine is the Sanivite:-

"waste water pump for a dishwasher, washing machine...............Working Temperature 35oC Maximum Temperature 60oC"
http://www.saniflo.co.uk/Sanivite.aspx

Note that the Sanibest has a macerator and the Sanivite doesn't; and the Sanivite is the only unit that specifies a max working temp, implying that it is designed to operate with hot effluent.

It would appear to me that the unit you are feeding the washing machine waste into has a macerator fitted, when it should only have a pump. the harsh environment of the hot detergent is causing the macerator, and possibly the pump as well, to fail.

I would have serious doubts about the advice you have been given and the quality of the plumbing expertise.

thanks for that moonrakers..i'm just about to book a engineer to come and service my sanibest..so will ask them the same question..and also send a email to saniflo..will let you know what they say..but off to cornwall on wednesday so maybe some time..thanks again citykid

hji when i say faseing i mean buzzing or the motor not turning properly...as for the flooding the reason why i had the sanibest was it needs to clear waste water from toilet..shower..sink..and washing machine..so when it flooded the washer was on,the motor stuck..the washer emptied all over my hall floor several times..as for being incorectly fitted in some way..as i said..origanaly fitted by saniflo reconised plumber then new units x3 fitted by saniflo service agents..what it all realy boils down to is it's a rubbish product in the first place,,and has never proved to need replacing due to missuse?or being jamed with forieng objects...ck

must be full of !!!!!! ;o))
