Cleaning Your Septic Pumps
When pumping your septic tank, you must make sure that the pump is working properly. Your septic tank pump is responsible for pumping waste into the drain field. The waste will pass through the septic tank and out into the drain field. If your septic tank has a pump, you must make sure it is working properly. If there is a problem with the pump, it will need to be repaired or replaced. If you need help, call a septic pumping service provider.
The septic system must have a pump in order to function correctly. Your septic tank will only accept wastewater in its liquid form, so a septic pump must be used to pump it into the drain field. The septic tank will have one or more pumps that are used to help move the waste from the septic tank to the drain field. These septic pumps turn on or off based on the level of the tank. If the tank gets full, the septic pump will turn on to help move the waste to the drain field. Pumping your septic tank is a critical part of keeping your tank in good condition. Having leaks, cracks, or gauge issues can damage your drain field, so monitoring these indicators is important.
More than the liquid level, the float switch is located on top of your septic tank. When the liquid level in your tank falls below the float switch, the septic pump will come on to help move the waste out of your tank and into the drain field.
The float switch and septic pump are a team that must work together in order for your septic tank to work properly. If you have a problem with your septic tank’s pump, the float switch may be the cause. Your septic pump company will be able to assist you in determining what the problem is with your septic tank. If you need help, they will help diagnose and repair your septic system.
