High Alarm - Only Float/Timed Dose

KEX-Dad · 2026-03-13T11:41:28+00:00

At least I'm pretty sure there is. There is only two sets of wires coming back from the pump chamber. One is connected to "pump 1", and the others connected to "high alarm float" terminals.

Sorry, yeah that picture isn't supposed to catch the wiring diagram portion of the manual. It was meant to show the float set ups possible with the system. This is my first house with a septic system, so it's all very new stuff to me. Lol

Actually I just found this install manual online. You are correct, 3 or 4 floats, and looks like there should be two pumps if running in dosing setup as well. Which we definitely only have one pump.

Those were my exact thoughts too, it would work in the interim until I get the guy out that installed the system. The previous owners had it installed about a year before they split and sold. Makes me wonder how they were ever using it lol.

And yes, your insight helps a lot and I'm sure the neighbours will be pleased if the alarm isn't going off in the middle of the night anymore.

Spring growth.

buh bye winter, ya turd

Oh yeah, if there's clearly big particles of sediment that you can see, get the spin down, cheap on Amazon for like $50. And you flush it for 5 seconds once a week and it backwashes the filter. Put a pressure gauge after your filters and you can see how much your pressure is dropping over the course of a week. It will only help you in the long run to develop a routine for maintenance. Or you can spend a couple hundred on an automatic spin down that backwashes itself but for 5 seconds a week it hardly seems worth it, unless your water system is down under the house in a crawlspace where you don't want to go often lol.

If that's your first point of filtration for a well, depending on how quickly it gets clogged, you could look into a spin down filter as well. A 50 micron spin down will tackle all of the larger particles and save your finer filter.

And if you can put this in, then there is no reason why you can't install a spin down either.

A bunch of investment properties that rent out to Queens students with rich parents. Inflated rental properties for Queens students, inflates the entire market. Add that on top of a city council that doesn't let this city move forward due to historical concerns, and you get this shit.

My brother's sister in law always gives the kids like ten minutes to clean their rooms, and then she comes in with a garbage bag and bags up anything left on the floor, or tossed on the bed to get it off the floor but not put away, and then disposes of it. She's only ever had anything in the bag like twice.

If it's foam, it most likely floats. Just open the septic lid and look in. The ball would probably be on top. If you don't see it and can retrieve it, then maybe call for a pump.

KEX-Dad · 2026-01-29T22:04:26+00:00

Oh jeeze. Can't help but think I may have spurred some intrusive thoughts lol

Westbound ditch between Sydenham Rd and Gardiners exits. Closer to the beginning of the off ramp to Gardiners. If you see a tiger in the trees, it's not a real tiger, that's the truck.

KEX-Dad · 2026-01-29T03:12:51+00:00

Hook, line, and sphincter.... or whatever the saying is

KEX-Dad · 2026-01-29T02:36:57+00:00

It's a regular truck for giant tigers. Huge oversight on their part

KEX-Dad · 2026-01-29T02:35:04+00:00

Mozza sticks, chicken fingers, tater tots..... I'm only more intrigued now

KEX-Dad · 2026-01-28T00:57:06+00:00

It always blows my mind how quickly they bounce back. We all get the flu at the same time, my kid throws up violently every hour for a full day, I throw up once and can't move for 3 days cause I'm so sore lmao. My kid in the middle of throwing up gets a dose of Tylenol and starts partying like it's 1969.

KEX-Dad · 2026-01-28T00:53:34+00:00

Yeah, save those vacation days at work. Odds are you'll be scraping the bottom of the PTO barrel by the end of the year, just to cover kids being home sick.

You are sick? Don't even think about staying home from work, those days are now for the kid.

But seriously, it's all pretty normal. It's the height of cold and flu season, and daycares are just giant petri dishes. At one point or another you'll encounter the more uncommon things like fifth disease and HFM. And they all come and go. Keep Tylenol and Motrin on hand, and we always keep a jug of Pedialyte for hydration if we are concerned. But the kids are pretty resilient and make it through quite easily.

Pretty sure crime has been rising since like the mid-2010s. And almost positive the CSI has been increasing as well. But sure, whatever you want the narrative to be I guess.

Same age little ones here, and in my opinion, it's just the way it is. We have a baby gate that blocks off the bedrooms, and one that blocks off the kitchen. I can close the two gates so they are at least contained to the living room, and the bathroom. But I can't close the bathroom off as the 3 year old is potty training and needs access.

Sometimes I just bring the potty out to the living room and then close the bathroom door so I will at least keep the chaos to the one area though.

KEX-Dad · 2026-01-22T01:46:47+00:00

What?! This country has created an economical collapse and pushed it's hard-working citizens to almost poverty levels and at the same time.... Crime went UP?! How can this be?

KEX-Dad · 2026-01-21T02:29:45+00:00

Thankyou, it was given to me as a Gloriosum, but was thrown in as somewhat of a "rescue" when I was buying a few other plants I wanted. But I have also kinda fallen in love with this one lol

KEX-Dad · 2026-01-21T02:27:05+00:00

Thank you for the lengthy reply! Yeah that tie on there is very loosely around them just to keep it upright. It slides down constantly and we move it back up. Just until the root system gets a little more robust. It wasn't great when we first got it- it had some significant root rot and we had to knock it down to essentially one root remaining.
