Sewer gas smells are coming up through the sink and rub in my bathroom Is there something I can do to stop this
Sewer gas is stopped by water in the drain. often three drain I. the floor dries out. or your drain is not holding water. pour water into all your drains. .
SOURCE: sewer pump not pumping.
If there is something clogging it or the impeller(pump blade) is stuck, you can bang the pump motor case with a 2x4 piece of wood; this can give it the jolt it needs to free itself without damage. Do not hit it with any metal object or a damaging dent could ruin it. The next thing to chech is the start capacitor (if it has one and if it is accessible). Some capacitors are remote from the pump (usually at or within the control box that feeds the electric to the pump; located within the house. If not, then possibly the capacitor is located on the pump motor (externally) and can be removed without removing pump. If none of these situations are available or will get the pump working, you must have the pump removed and repaired or replaced. Goodluck, Macgivor

There is a carbon filter in the top of the Saniflo that you may need to replace. You should be able to get these from plumbers merchants or Saniflo themselves. If this doesn't fix your problem, you may have a gunked up macerator that is in need of a clean ... not a very nice job!
