During our current sojourn at the Braidbar yard at Higher Poynton, one
of the jobs was investigating the sluggish performance of the macerator
toilet.
Dismantling revealed a truly startling amount of limescale throughout,
which mainly had to be chipped out with a screwdriver. The macerator
blade, the plastic mesh cage and the output impeller were all virtually
cocooned in the stuff, after 2.5 years of use.
Reassembly resulted in erratic behaviour, especially running on
endlessly, and the controller/timer circuit board has now been replaced
- it looks as if the thumping, bumping and pressure washing had
distressed the electronics beyond recall.
Questions:
1) Why should a permanently wet and not very hot piece of kit collect
so much scale?
2) How can we stop it recurring, short of stripping the thing down
every year?
Any thoughts gratefully received.
All the best
Bruce
