You probably have a dead short in the line. That should fix the problem.

It is but this is something you must put up with. Make sure though everything is tightened well.

That could be due to the membrane (#15) in the schematic diagram, the membrane might be stuck in the on position or it might be warped, that's why the unit is staying on the whole time and not shutting off. The membrane is what activates the pump on and off. You will have to open up the unit and inspect it. You can also visit their website at www.saniflo.com to download the installation manual.

First remove all the piping attached to the unit, remove the whole white box sitting behind the toilet, is only 1 screw holding it to the back of the toilet, then you can remove the 2 screws on top of the lid, pry open the lid using a flat head screwdriver, there is a lid seal in between the lid seal and the pump casing, the lid seal may be kinked or defective which could be the reason why is leaking. You can remove it and re-attach it to make sure is sitting properly. You can also contact Saniflo to order parts.

I suggest to log in to their webpage at www.saniflo.com and ask for their technical department to purchase parts.

There should be a check valve installed in the discharge elbow, check if the check valve is installed or it might just be stuck open so when waste water is pumped out, it slowly drains back into the unit creating water pressure that is making it kick on and off.

Depending in the pump model, but most of them, the pump casing usually fills up with water about half way of the casing before it creates enough water pressure to pump the waste out. Once the water is pumped out, the pressure releases off the pump and the unit shuts off.

Depending on the pump model it can be that the float switch (membrane) might be warped or solids could be build up at the bottom which dont allow it to shut off. You wil have to open up the unit, remove the motor with pressure chamber and inspect it.;

That could be a problem with either a blockage in the blade or the impeller or a bad starting capacitor. I sugges to open up the unit and inspect the blade and impeller if there is no blockage then might be the starting capacitor that will need to be replaced.

Usually you have to unplug the power cord, remove all the piping attached to the pump, remove the pump completely out the back of the toilet. Pry open the lid using a flat head screw driver. Remove 2 screws in front of the pump casing and 1 at the back of the casing; then the motor with pressure chamber will come off the top of the pump casing as one piece, therefore it can inspected and repaired.

Depending on the model name, it might be a build up of waste at the bottom of the membrane or the membrane might be warped, if it is warped it will need to be replaced. Most Saniflo units have a pressure chamber and a membrane which activates the pump on and off, that could be the main reason why is not shutting off. Also you can refer to the installation manual or the schematic diagram. If you don have it you can download it from the Saniflo website at www.saniflo.com good luck with your unit.

sounds like the trap is not holding water and allowing the septic/sewer odors and bugs access into the toilet. This can be caused by an object being flushed that got lodged in the trap. frequent problem when small children are around. If this is the case then the only solution is to remove the obstruction. More often than not you have to remove the toilet, flip upside down (best to do this in the tub) and locate and remove the obstruction.
