Greetings,
My house has a grinder ejector pump in a 300 gal tank that ejects the sewage to the city drains a couple hundred feet away from my house. Lately the tank has been overflowing and when I open the tank and tap on the lower float, it will start to work. The lower float is larger than the upper' Alarm' float, it is gray, and I am assuming, a mercury float. The float is clean, but it appears to have a burn mark, or discoloration of some kind on it. Since the pump will work fine if I jiggle this float, I also am assmuing that the float is now defective.
Big Question
Can this float be replaced without replacing the entire pump? Is this a do it yourself type of project or is it the type of repair best left to the professionals? If a professional comes in to replace just the float, any idea on cost of the proect?
Thanks very much for any input. It is very much appreciated.
