What is a pump chamber?
Most residential and commercial property owners are unaware that their home’s sewage system is powered by a sewage pump chamber. Pump chambers are a generally resilient and effective system that functions with minimal maintenance. One of the main reasons why pump chambers break down is because of the blockage caused by non-flushable materials like wipes, pieces of fabric or plastic, etc. As a result, the pump runs for a long time attempting to empty the chamber and burns out.
The force and direction of the wastewater flow from a building to the council sewage mains are generally determined by the elevation of the land. However, if your property is below the main public sewer line, the sewage waste will need a push that will ensure smooth movement and no blockages. This push or force is provided by a pump chamber.
In the case of pump failure, the alarm will be triggered, and the secondary pump starts in to keep the system functioning. The alarm is also activated when the water level within the pump chamber crosses the high level alarm. In such situations, both pumps are activated and the alarm is set off. The alert automatically turns off when the water level falls back to a safe level.
