Septic Pump Float (Control Float and Alarm Float) and Septic Pump Control Box/Control Panel

FLOAT SWITCH

If your septic system uses a pump to remove wastewater from the tank to a drain field, your system will have a septic tank alarm and a float switch. When water rises in the tank above an unacceptable level, the float rises. The float flips and triggers an alarm to warn you that your could overflow if the problem is not addressed. 

At times the float switch will malfunction and sound the alarm when the tank isn’t overflowing. Before calling a septic service specialist, you can try troubleshooting the problem. 

Troubleshooting possible float switch problems:

  1. Check the on/off switch on the float switch to see if it turns on the pump. If it doesn’t, you may have either a dead switch or a malfunctioning pump.

  2. Inspect all exposed cable or wires to check for damage

  3. Sometimes the pump can be plugged directly into a power source, by-passing the switch. However, you are now operating the pump in a manual mode.   You will need to unplug the pump in order to turn it off or the pump could burn out.

  4. If the pump does not turn on when by-passing the switch and there is power to pump, there could be many different causes.  This problem will need to be addressed.  Call Lentz Wastewater.
