I have one that doesn't want to shut off quite often. Usually a tap will do it. I know its related to the micro switch. I'm debating between a brand new sani access 3 setup and attempting a repair. I have considered that maybe stuff is accumulating under the diaphragm. It's not a fun job, but they do work so well that it's worth doing. If I spend $1300 I will have the peace of mind of a brand new unit plus easy access for when maintenance is required, but that's verses an unpleasant effort may pay off long term without the expense....The pump unit is only $830, but the saniplus toilet is hard to keep clean and the toilet design for the sani access system looks like an improvement.
Whether it's brand new or 3 years old like mine the bottom line is if something gets into their you could have the same issue. Well it might not be the most Pleasant job it definitely was not difficult .
Thanks for the video,made my life easier.My problem was a little different . The rubber oval boot at the bottom (part # 15 in the manual ,called the"membrane" on the Sani-Plus, got a little convex(looking from above) even though it felt totally pliable and soft,it still pushed up on the rod which pushed up on the micro switch. I'm calling SFA tomorrow and ordering the part. I could fix it by not pushing the membrane all the way down and filling the remaining space with an O-ring........Nahhh
If the switch isn't working and its clear behind it can just be degraded especially if you use toilet cleaning chemicals it degrades the rubber so it doesn't switch when it should. You can just replace the rubber bit, much cheaper than a new unit, and much less work if you don't have to un-plumb the whole thing.
Somehow we lost one of the three rubber feet that hold the pump in place (likely lost in a previous cleaning). Anyways, the pump eventually tilted onto the pressure switch side and it cut in and wouldn't stop. Took us awhile to notice that it was missing. Didn't find out situation anywhere else on the internet, so hoping this might help someone else......
This is exactly what happened to me. Lost the 3rd rubber pump foot and it was tilting and the rubber membrane was warped in the middle bulging out. I ordered a new membrane and new rubber stoppers. I hope this does the trick.
Thank you for the informative funny video! I am going to try and fix mine now!
Good luck! A dirty Job , but not that mechanically hard to solve. Best Wishes.
Cool beans man. Exactly what's wrong with mine. Thanks for posting.
Glad to help

thanks for helping man kind, much appriciated :)
Good job my problem is that the pump is not turning on long enough to get rid of solid waste any clue what might be the cause
might be the float in the bottom right of the tank when you face it from the front. I had a piece of debris which was sticking that flap from closing

Always good to know there's someone out there, like me, who just wants to help someone else...

One small video for UA-cam. One heroic effort through shit for the betterment of mankind.
yup...
Why are you whispering? Is there a secret or was someone asleep?
Because I dont feel i have anything useful to tell anyone in life, so I mumble, mostly to myself.
I’m guessing you are not a plumber
Im not a plumber, but I can tell when something is plumb. But, Yeah if you wanna help me and educate me, I am receptive.
I will not be getting one
Sometimes its just the only option depending on your plumbing situation.
