In Reply to: help with septic pump alarm posted by docborneo on January 07, 1998 at 18:25:36:
: my pump alarm went off and i checked the electric panel and my breaker was tripped. i want to know if i disconnect the union on the pump line can i just lift the pipe from the tank and pull the pump out of the tank. someone please help
the common reason for installing a union is so you can take it apart to remove the pump, however be sure the union is on the pump side of the check valve otherwise youll take a bath also the wires often limit how far you can go with the pump to. also if there is a valve you may want to close it incase the check doesnt hold.
hope this helps.
