My saniflo (specifically a Sanibest) had a faulty microswitch (constantly shorted) which I have replaced. However, I am having difficulty sealing the pressure switch unit. Basically I left it filled with water overnight and it tripped the RCD. Opened up the sealed swicth unit and it was full of water. When I opened it up there was a good few cm of water in the bottom. Currently drying the switch and wiring.

Does anyone know what they use to seal these? When I dismantles it there was some stringy white sealant around the diaphram. Initially I tried using general purpose sealant but that obviously is not right. I think maybe something like liquid PTFE?

Hopefully there's someone on here that has had the misfortune to work on these disgusting things!
 
Try using sanitary silicone instead of general purpose, making sure everything is clean and dry :)
