Chances are it bounced from the NEC forum to here.

Re: Septic pump and alarm

I almost have this figured out. What are the two plugs which piggyback and plug into the 12-2 Receptacle. One is the pump motor, the other is?

The other is a float switch which would be for the pump. If you also have a two conductor that runs out of the tank that just has striped ends then I would say most likely this piggy back plug is the float switch for the pump. As I said before if it has a regular grinder ejector pump it should not have an external float switch. It should be Incorporated into the motor housing where it can't be effected. You will know this by the plug on the end of the cord supplying the pump will have a little air hose sticking out the end of it. But if it does have this external float then you plug it in to the receptacle and then plug the pump into the back of it.
