![]() ![]() Just about every type of industrial pump that you could ever purchase will cycle on and off that is just how the vast majority of pumps work. Instead of putting yourself or your workers at risk to try and figure out the problem, have professionals take a closer look. It could also be the case that your pump has simply “given out.” It could be the result of anything from electrical problems to frayed wires to a blown fuse. There are a variety of reasons that this issue could pop up. It is also an issue if it struggles or is slow to start. Obviously, when your day-to-day operations rely on a working pump, it is a major problem if your pump won’t start. Sign #2: Your Pump Won’t Start Or Struggles To Start ![]() Your best bet for determining what is causing the problem is to have a professional inspect your pump for you. Furthermore, it also indicates that something isn’t quite right with your pump. When that isn’t happening and you’re getting dirty, murky water instead, it can take a serious toll on your business operations. The whole purpose of having a pump, no matter the exact type, is to regularly filter clean, clear water into your operations. To start off with, one of the first things to be on the lookout for is dirty water running through your systems. That way, you will all be aware when something is wrong, and you will be able to seek pump repair or replacement early on before there is a chance for any more severe damage to take place. The key is to educate yourself and your workers on the warning signs of an impending pump failure. With continual use, almost every pump will fail or at least run into issues at some point. With that said, no industrial pump, no matter how well-made it is, is designed to last forever. I need all the advice I can get.Industrial pumps come in all types and designs. If you have experience living or working on septic, could you please let me know what you think. I hate to give up the ministry, but I need to somehow predict what may happen, and sell the house now if necessary. If it fails, I could have to walk away from the house. But I need as many opinions as I can get, because if the system is near failing, there is not an option to install a whole new drainfield (says drainfield guy). My drainfield installer says it could be a big problem, my pumpout guy is coming soon and I will ask him too. Now, although it hasn't rained in two months, there is a pretty strong smell. There has never been more than a mild, occasional smell of sewage in the back yard. I have been having to pump the tank every two months for a few years now septic guy says it's because of so much toilet paper, and he shows me the tank each time, it's just full of TP. Most of the time, with an ADU and two trailers parked out back, there are eleven of us living here. It's an important ministry to me, and I've been housing as many guys as I can. I offer low-cost housing to working men struggling with finding affordable housing in Seattle. The outflow pipe at the back of the field (in back yard) is not clogged, and is draining normally. It is a gravity system, two tanks, no pump. The installer went six feet deep, to avoid multiple tree roots. Twice the drainfield has failed, first time because of tree roots pushing up the ground, so I had a new drainfield installed second time, it was overuse of the system, I had more pipes installed, that doubled the size of the field. The tank is 750 gallons, original to the house. I have a 1962 eight-bedroom house with a septic system. Is my system working properly? How does a 3 float system typically work? Just want to get some peace of mind, or call someone out and have them check it out if this is actually not good. After playing with the middle float that is turning the pump on, it seems like when full it would only be pumping for maybe 30 seconds before it would be satisfied and turn off. The bottom float is floating upward as it should I think. However, as soon as I let it go, the pump stopped. I used a stick to pull the middle float upward. However, I just got in there for the heck of it to check the system annually, and noticed it doesnt work this way. (Ie, use a stick to pull the middle pump up, pump turns on, and even if you drop the float it will continue to pump until it reaches the level of the lowest bottom float). ![]() This is my first home I bought 2 years ago and I was at the inspection, and could have sworn this is how it worked. I was under the impression that when the middle float floated upward and turned on, it would turn the pump on and the pump would stay on until the bottom float turned off (stopped floating). I can see the bottom float floating in the tank water. Top float sounds the alarm, and the middle float kicks the pump on. Effluent flows from my septic tank to a 500 gal dosing tank, where a pump pumps it uphill into the sand mound. I am in PA with a raised mound septic system. ![]()
