Saniflo / Saniflo macerator / BR8
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.
Compare this observation: replacement of an existing unit is being considered
For replacement of an existing macerator, supply the full model and external photographs of the current unit and visible connections. Do not dismantle it to obtain measurements. The connected fixtures and discharge arrangement affect suitability, so a similar appearance is not a direct-fit promise. New-system installation is not implied.
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 Swanley address
Swanley enquiries need the complete BR8 address and the actual appliance or specialist unit. The online request starts a conversation; it does not reserve a visit by itself.
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 “an odour develops near the unit” establish the failed part?
No. Describe that observation separately from “replacement of an existing unit is being considered”. 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.
