Saniflo / Saniflo macerator / BR5
The run lasts longer than usual
Stop connected use if the longer run is accompanied by poor clearance or an unusual sound. Compare it with the previous normal pattern without carrying out further timing trials. Leave the discharge fittings alone. The unit identity and existing connected fixtures help prepare a model-specific assessment of the change.
Compare this observation: an odour develops near the unit
Stop connected use if an odour is associated with leakage or changed pumping. Describe visible signs from a dry position and mention cleaning products already introduced. Do not add more chemicals or remove the cover. An odour is useful information, but it does not identify a particular failed internal component.
The fitting is behind a furniture panel.
Describe the panel, plinth and visible surroundings. Leave the appliance fitted; photographs and an access description are enough to begin.
For the Petts Wood address
Use the complete BR5 postcode for a Petts Wood enquiry. Keep the fault code separate from the model number; the two details identify different things.
Read the identity, not just the badge.
Quote the complete model and serial or service number from a safely visible label. Similar product names can hide different components. If the label is concealed, leave the appliance in place and tell us the model is unknown.

A useful question for the enquiry
Does “the run lasts longer than usual” establish the failed part?
No. Describe that observation separately from “an odour develops near the unit”. Explain whether they began together or at different times, and include the fitting detail: the fitting is behind a furniture panel. The inspection can then consider the symptoms and safe access together.
