Rules of plumb – should I flush it?

March 25, 2020

Before you flush the chain, load up the macerator and push the button, pause and think should I flush it? Will it block it?

Toilets backing up and macerators clogging up isn’t just an annoyance and inconvenience it puts a significant strain on our resources and has the potential to spread some nasty infections.

So before you load up the macerator with an assortment of bedpans and sanitary products or try to flush away hand towels, think of the impact this might have on your ward or department.

If in doubt, leave it out

If you need to report an issue, the estates helpdesk is open from 8am-4pm, Monday-Friday on ext. 4444. If the issue is non-urgent please log it through Connect.
