PERIODS OF DISUSE

If your home or building is left unoccupied for longer than a couple of weeks, perform the following procedure:

Purge the System.  Run clean water into the unit until the pump activates.  Immediately turn off the water and allow the grinder pump to run until it shuts off automatically.  Caution: Do Not Disconnect Power to the Unit.

Power Failure

Your grinder pump cannot dispose of wastewater without electrical power.  If electrical power service is interrupted, keep water usage to a minimum.

PUMP FAILURE ALARM

Your grinder pump has been manufactured to produce an alarm signal (120 volt) in the event of a high water level in the basin.  The installer must see that the alarm signal provided is connected to an audible and or visual alarm in such a manner as to provide adequate warning to the user that service is required.  During the interim prior to the arrival of an authorized service technician, water usage must be limited to the reserve capacity of the tank.
