Troubleshooting Checklist
Experience slow-flush but electrical
system is operational
Alarm sounds continuously and effluent
level rises steadily in the pump tank –
this can eventually lead to slow-flush
caused by sewage backing up and
could eventually cause effluent to
pond at the septic or pump tank
Alarm sounds periodically but resets
itself (indicating that the pump is still
operating)
Note: Some states require alarms that
are latched (continue to alarm after the
alarm event has been corrected) and
will not auto-reset themselves in which
case it will be necessary to reset the
alarm manually
No alarm warning – effluent level rises
continuously in the pump tank potentially
leading to slow-flush and/or effluent
ponding around septic or pump tank
Ponding of effluent on peat fiber media
1. Unacceptable level of solids in septic tank
2. Effluent filter blocked
1. Pump failure due to circuit breaker
switch being tripped to the “off” position
by an electrical storm or power surge
2. Pump fails due to faulty electrical
system or pump is faulty
1. High water usage above design
capacity activates the alarm float switch
2. Leaking plumbing fixtures
3. Leaking pump or septic tank
4. Broken timer or incorrect timer settings
5. Latched alarm
1. Pump and alarm failure due to circuit
breaker switches being tripped to the
“off” position by an electrical storm,
power surge or power failure
2. Pump and alarm fail concurrently due
to faulty system electronics
1. Failed drainfield
2. Media at end of useful life
Detection
Possible Cause
Action

effluent filter
2. Clean effluent filter
1. Conserve water usage, reset circuit
breaker and test the alarm – if the
