The macerator/pump in our basement bathroom seems to be on the blink
Whole house plunged into darkness after my shower tonight— fortunately I was dressed and washing my face by then, but it was an unpleasant experience just the same. Repeated trials show that every time we flush/run the tap for more than a few minutes, the power goes out; presumably the pump is tripping.
I believe ours was replaced not long before we purchased. Are these like the boilers in that they require more regular replacements than you'd expect at home? How much do they cost? Will be wanting to get this sorted ASAP as we can't use that bathroom currently, which means a trek upstairs at night to use the facilities that I could do without!
