Our sixth monthly highlight is here, and we are highlighting… Alarm boxes!🎉💩💙
Alarm boxes are used in most septic systems to alert homeowners when something is wrong with their system. They should have both an audio and visual alarm. The audio alarm can be silenced, with a button or switch, but the visual will stay on until the problem is fixed. Septic systems can alarm for high water, low water, no aeration in the system, or if the disinfection unit like the UV bulb is out.*If your system is alarming your pump will lock out, even if the pump is not the issue. This is the fail safe procedure for your system.
If you are experiencing an alarming event you should conserve water, and space out larger water usages like showers, laundry, and dishwashers. Pumping out your system will also buy you time before a licensed service professional can service your system.
