Understanding Your Septic System
What Is a Septic Pump Control Panel?
Think of your septic pump control panel as the brain of your septic system. It manages how and when the pump turns on, controls water levels, and alerts you to any issues. This control panel:
- Regulates pump cycles
- Monitors septic system performance
- Activates alarms for high water levels or system failures
- Allows for manual pump testing and troubleshooting
When the control panel isn’t working properly, your pump may not activate, which can lead to septic backups, overflows, or system failure.
What Is the Septic Pump Chamber?
The pump chamber is a holding tank that collects wastewater from your septic tank before it’s pumped out to the drain field. Inside this chamber, float switches signal when the water reaches a certain level—telling the pump it’s time to turn on. A properly working pump chamber ensures a steady, controlled flow of wastewater, reducing the risk of system overloads or blockages.
