Well, since I moved here I have more question than a five year old. I read Dennis Alwon answers to a septic floats problems in another forum and I think maybe he can answer my questions, I wrote the following in the plumber forum but with not results, here is:
"I was visiting people in the country and I hear the alarm for the septic pump. My friend opened the area and with a rake push down two of the floats several times until the alarm stop. I asked what was going on, and he explained that two months ago a plumber installed, after the septic was pumped out, a new pump, but since that, the alarm goes on and on and my friend keep pushing the floats down, sometimes every two hours and sometimes it last good for a week. I really I am not familiar with this situation as never I worked with septic tanks/pumps"
Also, there is a manhole underground box next to the septic and a sleeve where the 3 (4?) cables going to the pump floats and because there are no receptacles there the plumber in his presence cut the plugs and hardwired the floats to the existing wires in the manhole, he didn?t do any alteration (besides cutting the plugs). I saw standard wires nut (this is a wet area) and I asked and he answer that because the plumber did it in a holiday and in the country, he had no recourses there. From that manhole there is another conduit that goes to the underside of this manufacture house to the alarm and whoa! That area is a ?Spaghetti Country? etc., etc. Also, my friend mentioned that maybe the floats are not in the right position (?)
Of course, as I mentioned in my previous posts, I am new with this here and I still learning ... Any help?
