Plug the sump pump back in to see if it still runs constantly. The septic pump should not be running constantly. They normally run when the pit gets to a certain level and they put a measured dose into the field.
The pump runs for seconds about every minute after a rain. Turn off the circuit breaker and water source to the pump so it doesn't turn on while you are working.
Check the oil. Inspect pump impeller. Tighten connecting elements. Assess bearing damage. Ensure your seals remain tight. Clean your vents. A vent is required for a sewage ejector pump installation to equalize pressure during pumping and to provide an outlet for sewer gasses. The vent comes out of the sump pit and is either connected to an existing vent soil stack or runs up and through the roof. Re: Septic Pump problem: continually tripping the breaker it can be attributed to pump air-lock.
If the pipe between the pump and the check valve is solid, the air in the line can compress the next time the pump tries to empty the tank. When the grinder pump fails , an alarm will be triggered to go off on your septic systems alarm panel.
Another thing that can happen if your grinder pump fails is that your tank could overflow into your backyard, or back up into your home through sinks and toilets. If the ejector pump fails , it will mean sewage backup into your home, creating an unhygienic environment and possibly leading to damage to your basement or home foundation.
Clogging is one of the main problems that can cause an ejector pump to fail. So when you do find the pump , you will see a pit in the floor with a pipe coming out of it then exiting the home or going to the main sewer pipe. In most areas it is illegal to attach the sump to the sewer line so it will usually discharge outside the house.
Grinder pumps do not need to be pumped out because they pump out the wastewater once the contents reach a certain level. Grinder pumps average eight years between service calls, so minimal regular maintenance is required when operated under normal conditions.
Sump pumps can run continually for many reasons, including a malfunction in the system, a high water table, or a plumbing issue. One of the more common reasons for a sump pump failure occurs when the system begins to run continuously in your home.

In many cases, replacing your float switch will actually solve the short-cycling problem. Usually, you can buy a replacement switch directly from the manufacturer of your sump pump system, so their website is a good place to look.
However, in some cases, these switches can be expensive, and some are far more complicated to install and configure than others. A licensed plumber can handle these for you, but it may wind up being more economical to simply replace your pump outright. Likewise, replacing your switch may not solve your problems when it comes to your sump pump—you could have a different problem which is forcing the malfunction. The next thing to focus on is your check valve on your discharge pipe. Gravity still works very well.
After all the ejector still have to rely on it. Reply to yaofengchen. Sexytom Contact options for registered users. Oh you are in for some fun.
Not a pretty job, long gloves old dishwashing gloves would help. Most likely the float on the unit is stuck. Its going to take a little work to free it up. Otherwise bite the bullet and just buy another one. Depending on use, they last about 10 years or so You can always keep the old as a backup up.
