Saniflo problem - how much to fix it?

comping_cat

Ive got a saniflo system for a downstairs toilet, and occassionally it doesnt work automatically and leaks.

Ive looked up what this could be, and it looks like it needs clearing/cleaning out - i just need to know how much i should expect to pay for this, as a single mum i dont want to look like a soft touch and get overcharged.

Thanks in advance.

Saniflo Ltd manufacture an own branded descaler, please ask your local Saniflo supplier for details. For general cleaning purposes normal wc cleansers are also ok to use with a Saniflo product In general, normal regular cleaning may be done using any non-foaming cleaners. High foaming brands should be avoided as the agitation could cause temporary difficulties in the pumping operation. Both for descaling and general cleaning the following procedure is useful 1) Remove fuse or switch off power to unit Pour a strong dose of descalent, bleach or disinfectant (say a 1/3 or ¼ bottle) into the WC pan. 2) Flush the WC. 3) Leave to stand for 1 to 2 hours. 4) Switch power back on, allowing unit to pump out and flush WC.
