I have a downstairs loo with a macerator attached to it that has now gone wrong.
My other half flushed the loo and the macerator kicked in but made a really weird monotone noise (normally it sounds like something is turning round inside it, like a washing machine does) which kind of sounded like something was stuck in it. Then water started pouring out of where the electric cable goes into the macerator and did stop after a few minutes (small consolation that was!) I tried pouring some water into the pan of the loo and the box overflowed again.
I inherited this stupid thing with the house last year and I have no idea how they work really. I have asked both the handyman I use and a plumber I was recommended and they said they couldn't/wouldn't fix it so I am a bit stuck as to what to do next really!
Can anyone recommend a solution to this?? I am completely clueless as regards plumbing and drains etc!
Thanks! Linz
