It's nothing like mine. Do you mean the sink/shower inlet to the thing, which
will be the two lower wotsits, or the connection to the outside world, which
probably comes off the top. On mine, the latter is a silicone rubber tube
clamped with a jubilee clip to a plastic fitting which connects to solvent
weld.

Tip: don't use push-fit for the "exhaust". Otherwise, Saniflow are somewhat
maligned IMHO

Take it back and ask for a refund! The general opinion is that the product
is rubbish and will cause you endless grief trying to unblock it.


Easy to say, not so easy in practice.

Sometimes you simply have the choice between a Saniflo and a bucket. At
least with the Saniflo, you only get covered in sh*t once a year, rather
than every time.

We had a saniflo in an en-suite used only be myself and t'mrs. It never
gave any trouble over several years. The key to it is controlled access and
ensuring only human waste and loo paper goes down it. I would never
consider one where there was general access to it cos however much you go on
about it someone, a visitor or the kids, will put something else down it and
wreck it.

You must have an interesting way of using a bucket then.

Yep. It's kids and wimmen that ruin 'em. Especially when it's rag week. ;-)

It always seems to tip over when I sit down on the seat.
