- Septilink: Get Notified When a Pump Runs Outside of Its Schedule
346-771-3774
Quick answer
This Septilink event sends a notification when a pump runs outside the schedule set on the Pump Schedule tile, such as a spray system set for 12:00 AM to 4:00 AM that runs in the afternoon. It does not apply to dosing timers. It needs an SL-5 or SL-7 site with Advanced service. Call 346-771-3774.
The pump running outside of schedule event sends a notification when a pump runs at a time it is not supposed to. The schedule is set on the Pump Schedule tile in the site's configuration. It is one of three Advanced Events in Septilink remote septic monitoring. Brown Aerobic is an authorized Septilink dealer and can talk you through it. Call 346-771-3774.
How does the schedule event work?
Many systems are meant to run only at certain times. A spray system, for example, may be set to apply treated water only during the night. You enter that window on the Pump Schedule tile in Septilink's site configuration. If the pump runs at any other time, Septilink sends you a notification.
This event does not apply to dosing timers.
What is an example?
Set a schedule of 12:00 AM to 4:00 AM on a spray system. If the pump runs at any other time, you are notified that the system is operating out of compliance.
Why would a pump run when it should not?
The notification tells you the pump ran outside the window. It does not say why, and there can be several reasons: a setting that was changed, a timer or control problem, or a float holding the pump on. That is the job of a technician to find, and it is the reason to hear about it early.
- A system set to spray only at night but running during the day
- A pump that runs when nobody changed anything and nobody was home to notice
- A control or timer problem that would otherwise be found only on the next service visit
What do I need to use it?
Advanced events are available on SL-5 and SL-7 sites with Advanced service. They are off by default and are switched on in the site's configuration, and the Septilink mobile app must be updated to its latest version before you can enable them.
What should I do after a notification?
Check that the schedule in Septilink is what you intend, then call us. We look at the panel, timers, floats and pump, and tell you what is happening. See alarm, float and control panel repair and septic maintenance. Systems with spray and drip dispersal are covered under drip irrigation septic systems and aerobic septic service.
