Thanks Kenny. Yes the green wheelie bin takes the waste from the RDF and a dirty water pump then empties this when it reaches a set water level. I have no mains drainage, the dirty water pump is planned to pump to the septic tank, but my installer has yet to do this - It is emptying into the garden flower bed at present!
I did think whether it was first cleaning high load that caused this, but I have to agree with most comments that there isn't enough fall. The wheelie bin has def not backed up causing the issue, I have been keeping an eye on that carefully.
I do appreciate your time and advice.
...Jon.

I have a long wast run and initialy I had a prety flat section of 4" attached to the drum and had similar problems. You need to increase the drop particularly in the first section - the key is to make sure nothing stays in the tray as that has a flat base and is much worse at silting up than the pipe. I actually dropped down from 4" after the 90deg boot to standard drain pipe so I could reroute with a larger drop and I haven't had any issues since.
I can see why you don't want to put in much drop. Would it be possible to experiment to see how far you need to go - just discharging into a bucket or garden tub-trug initially before you rearranging things with the bin.6000g in ground koi pond
