Can anyone provide any insights as to what could be the problem? I am OK with replacing the controller and I know I can get one a lot cheaper from other dealers (it is an analog controller-no fancy electronics), but If there is a bad relay or other part that is allowing the alarm circuit to close due to it being damaged, I would really rather just replace the bad part. It only got worse when I realized that 2 of the aerators failed due to poor maintenance/no maintenance which should have been provided by the 'authorized' service people under their 'service contract'. I got tired of paying an arm and leg for the mandated 'service contract' for someone to come and inspect my system, put some chlorine tablets in and do nothing else. I took a class a few years ago to be able to service and maintain my system in our county. The system was installed new when we built our house in 2002 and other than replacing effluent pump motor once and the aerator motor 3 times it has been an OK system.
#Red alarm for septic system upgrade#
Since Norweco disagrees with the concept of anyone but their 'authorized' service people doing service and repairs to the system, I have not gotten any help from them or their 'authorized' service people (who offered to replace and upgrade my controller for about $600). I essentially have a normally operating system but the amber light is still lit and I have audible alarm.
The aerator is operating normally and the amperage draw is within limits, the motor is not running hot and air flow is good through the aerator. All of the floats are operating correctly and giving the proper alarms.
I have confirmed operation of both the aerator and the effluent pump to the sprinklers.
I have a Norweco Singulair aerobic septic system and I have an alarm going off. This is a condition that is important to learn early on before it becomes a very expensive mess!ĭoes your family want the peace of mind of knowing that you have the right system in place to alert you when there is a problem? Call us today at RC Worst & Company to discuss the right alarm for you.New to this forum. A low level alarm can also be caused by a leaking septic tank. The alarm can alert you of the condition and help avoid the costly expense that comes with the pump failing prematurely. It is important to be notified so you can troubleshoot the cause before waste ultimately backs up into your home.Ī low level alarm may indicate that your pump is not shutting off properly. You may have a pump that has reached the end of its useful life or you may have a float problem. A high level alarm can, of course, also let you know when your pump is not working. A watertight septic tank that does not allow water penetration & seepage can prevent premature failure of the septic drainfield and premature failure of the pump. Ground water penetrating the tank can also cause a high water alarm. You may have a running toilet and catching this problem can save a lot of money on your water bill. This may be caused by increased use in laundry, dishwashing or long showers.
