Professional Installation of Septic Alarms
Septic system alarms can be installed on your home’s wall, outside the tank, or inside the property.
Various types of septic tank alarms include:
- Dedicated circuit – We usually recommend a separate circuit from the effluent pump. If an electrical circuit trips due to a pump failure, the alarm on that circuit won’t work and can’t alert you.
- Exterior power – If a dedicated circuit isn’t possible, an exterior-powered alarm with failover protection can be used. This ensures the alarm keeps working even if a circuit breaker trips.
- Wireless – For existing septic systems without alarms, wireless alarms are flexible. They use wireless or Bluetooth technology to send signals to the homeowner’s mobile device when float cables and electrical options aren’t possible.
Septic tank alarms have three components: a float or level monitoring system to detect wastewater levels, a visual element, and a buzzer. A septic alarm is a simple but effective device that can save you hundreds and thousands of dollars in property damages and repairs, whether you have an old or new system
