From this setup I have evolved very slightly. Stand alone float pole w simtech float brackets makes life so nice. I have tweaked electric connections to make life more enjoyable as well. But this is a solid setup. Nice work guys.
Thanks for this. I’m also in Texas and I just replaced my effluent pump + main float switch. My old switches were really high so of course I didn’t get an alarm until the tank was full as hell.
Wholesale Septic is a very nice company, the one near me is like an OSSF trade-show. Nice demo but wow what a mess of dirt. My pump was full of plastic drill shavings. My pump has also once jammed b/c the installers didn't/don't comprehend head-pressure where the teeth on the motor jammed in the pump, I ended up putting larger low-angle-nozzles on my sprinklers to prevent the head-pressure from destroying my pump. Three 3-GPM sprayers are not enough for a 10-GPM pump & it's more horrific if it's just a 2 sprayer setup with a 10-gpm pump, wild that installers in my area are allowed to be so deficient.
Couple questions. I noticed on my old pump setup (that I replaced), someone had drilled a small hole in the 1” pipe just above where it joins the threads at the pump. Do you know the purpose? A relief valve perhaps? Also do y’all use a chain or rope on these ATER pumps? Ever had the PVC break and lose a pump down there in the tank?
The company that put in my system installed for a new home, six years ago. Been pumped once. But, it's been alarm issues and crisis with the sprinklers since early on. And, 3 GFCIs. Now I know why. Every time I pass by it I cross my fingers. Sometimes I think maybe another company and a big redo. So tired of it.
I have the exact same pump at my house. There is a 3rd float (it is blue) and it is not connected to the pump/pole at all. It is floating around loose and triggering the alarm. Do you have any idea what this third float is for and where it should be?
Hey Dominick, I have a question for you. Can a pump seem to be ok when testing it out of the tank but not have enough pressure to feed a sand filter? Trying to figure out if my pump is bad or sand filter is getting plugged. Originally, I pulled the pump thinking it was plugged and it was. I cleaned everything out and hooked it up. It seemed to be pumping good for about 5 minutes. Then it started to slow down. The pump has probably been running 24/7 for who knows how long since it was really slow to drain. Can the pump appear ok if its just running 3ft but not strong enough to get to the filter when it's connected? Thanks for the help!

Video don’t pertain to me but nice to see people sharing knowledge. God bless Texas and the USA
GRATE‼️☝️👌💪👏
i have a system with that type of pump...can you please make a video of how to clean it when it clogs up please and thanks!
Just pull it out of the tank and rinse it down with a garden hose

Great video. Wish you guys had installed my system😢

What type of pump is that?
