Can these pumps lose prime
After discovering the location of six lateral lines (no thanks to the septic company), I attempted to flush. However, there is only an off/on switch for my pumps. The pumps switch is always in the "on" positions. So: Do I turn the pump switch off for a few seconds and then back on? I did this and nothing came out of the pipe. Is this a good sign or did I do something wrong?
Cool
Crystal grow lab.. in septic tank .. Heat whole geothermàl items?
So pardon my ignorance? but why have a filter if you spray what it stops back into the tank? isnt that what would happen if you didnt have that nasty filter stopping it from going into the tank and making you clean it out ???? and how often are you cleaning that thing. I know its been years since you wrote and posted this video. so anyone who may have the answer to this question PLEASE respond. I am very new to septic systems.
What if its empty and dry lol just moved in 6 months ago and the filter seems dry no water nothing its just plain
Is it normal for the tank to make that dripping water sound? I read somewhere that the tank should not make any sound but in the video that sounds just like my septic system. This is all new to me so I just want to make sure things are in proper order.
If your system has a pump chamber like this one it would be a normal sound. It is the water falling into the pump chamber from the septic tank, just a bit of flow coming through when we did this video. Best of luck with your system they are easy to forget about when all is going well!
It should be cleaned over the solids side.

He said all systems have this but they do not. Each state has their own requirements and this is not a common system.
I am about to perform this clean out on my system. I have 8 lateral lines. Not looking forward to it as I have to dig the ends up. I don’t have vertical access pipes in place to reach in and unscrew the end of the pipe. I may put some in place this time for future cleanings.
How often should this be done?
At the very minum once a year. For best peace of mind I would clean it, then clean it a month later and see what it looks like if it looked like longer was ok wait two months and reevaluate. Like most things there is no right answer for everyone. Hope this helps!
I noticed that there is water in the bottom before the actual flushing is shown. :)
I have a very good question what does it mean when your septic tank pump has soap in it
Good question! Not sure what would is going on with that. Are you saying it looks like soap or is soap?
Curtis Wray it is a hundred percent so I don't know where it's coming from but now my pump won't turn off it keeps working and working and there's nothing in there
on a pressure system how long does the effluent can run during one cycle? is it possible to have a clogged field and not showing any wetness?
If your pump is running and drawing down the pump chamber I would suspect the pump first. It is always possible that the line is broke or plugged but less likely than a bad pump.
i opened one lateral and the flow was good, the pump was running for like 15-20 min. and the level barely dropped.
When you washed the filter, you actually let the dirt go right into the pipe, then why do you need the filter in the first place? I thought you are supposed to wash the filter somewhere else, not in the tank.
Like Allen Worst mentioned below it is probably better practice to wash it out over the inlet side of the tank versus the outlet side...however you do it the filter needs to be washed out on an annual basis at least or you may end up with a backup. This one had been several years so there really wasn't anyway to keep every thing out of the pipe. It is hard to see, as for some reason the person taking the video didn't want to get to close while I was spraying! Thanks for watching and good point!
so obvious to me also...
Nice job. I love the focus on lid replacement. I would consider cleaning the filter over the inlet side of the tank to insure the solids sprayed off the filter are not carried over and into the pump tank.
Good point!
The only interesting part was the end, if we go through a drought the grass with our lateral lines ends up dying before the rest of the yard. It is worth doing something else with that area unless you have irrigation.
Thanks for watching kind of a boring subject for sure!
This is for a system with a sand filter I believe.
You are correct!
I don't understand this at all. Why are you flushing it? There a pump in it?
+Tom Renfro over time sludge and slime can build up in the 1" pipe, so this is something that only needs to be done every so often Annually is recommended, but I suspect that most systems survive with out it being done very often!
Hi Curtis, Thanks for answering back. I see what you are saying. It is a bit in general and matter of fact way.. Saying that, I have never heard of a pipe sticking out of the the ground for the purpose to clean out your lateral of your septic tank. How dose this help your laterals. Those are way under ground? Tom
Tom, if I redid the video today I would do it different for sure. These pipes are at the end of each drain field line in this system a total of 6. By flushing it helps keep the small holes .25" in this case, clear. Still not something that needs done very often. To be clear this only applies to a pressure system, that is designed like this one, which is a common design in our area.
Great info. Thanks!
My clean out does not have that
This is for pumped systems and is a common design in our area may not be in your area...Good chance your system is different.
Hi. I was wondering if you could show me how to turn off the audio alarm. The setup I have is exactly like the first one in the video. The alarm constantly goes off whenever it rains and I can't silence it every hour.
+Andrew Concepcion Interesting! First try to figure out if rain water is getting into your pump chamber if it is stop that source. Assuming it isn't rain getting into the pump chamber I would look at the panel next. Should be a number for the manufacturer in the panel to help diagnose any issues with the panel itself. Good luck!
The 2 am alarm happend two nights in a row now
My alarm went off 2 am and I shut the alarm off then turned it bk to normal red light stayed on ten mins and went off again don't think my sprinks are spraying but not 100% sure what do you think that is water level is fine two days later no alarm except at 2 am
+berkferker I apologize for the long wait to reply I wasn't getting the notices! I hope you have solved this issue by now! If not give the manufacturer a call or your installer sounds like a timed dosing panel with the on off float not shutting down the system.
hi i have an alarm going off not sure if its hi or low level when i manually drain it shuts off could this mean theres a problem with the pump or the float?
+minnie pearl Sounds like the pump is working on manual I would assume the floats as a starting point.
Why was this beautiful house torn down?
Not helpful at all
probably not for you because you have a dissimilar system, or you're just an idiot (my guess is the latter)
Great video - Have you ever seen a panel where the "Auto" Feature just stopped working? I have a duplux system with alternating pumps made by Liberty Pumps. Both of the pumps run fine in Manual mode, but neither will run in auto. I have tested all of the floats with an ohm-meter and they all responded properly. However, the box doesn't seem to be getting the signal. Also, I can't get the green light on the circuit board to light up (checked fuse but its fine). I did find a bad breaker in the box when first diagnosing the problem but it has since been replaced and auto still doesn't work.
+Jeremy Beer I apologize for not getting your question until a year later! Curious what you found, sounds like you did all the steps that point to a bad panel. Was that the case?
+Curtis Wray yep - bad panel. they didn't make that panel anymore so would have had to get a whole new system - quoted me $2000. decided to install 1 new pump with a manual float which would by pass panel. can still turn on other pump manually in case of emergency. fixed and running well for the last 18 months for $300.
Wow! Thanks for the update.
What model of Control panels are you using?
Perfect Video.. exactly what I was looking for on help with my septic system. Thank you all for taking the time to make this video. Really appreciate it and now should be able to diagnose just what's wrong with my system. Thanks again!
+James Dondanville Thank you!
Great operator. He sure is talented. What's his name? I want to request him for our next job.
There is just something fun about being destructive! Kind of scary how fragile a house really is.
Thanks Curtis, good simple walk through. I'll attempt to check mine. Let's hope it is that simple too.
Do all systems have this filter I looked in both tanks and didn't see this filter anywheres, I say the Tee PVC but there was no filter there.
No not all...sorry missed your comment from 3 years ago! Sounds like you were just seeing the pvc baffle.
Install a filter
i recently am new to septics and my understanding here in ontario canada the law was past in 2007 that new tanks and when they catchup all tanks rewuire risers and lids along with filters ...at home owners cost.
Great info. Thanks.
