    Sewage injector issues
    The circuit feeding the injector pump has been flipping lately. N happened once about 6 months ago for 1st time and then twice in past week. I have to reset circuit several times before I hear it clear and water runs. Thoughts as to issue? N

    My guess, from experience, is that water is getting into the pump electrical...

    This usually means the ejector is shot and needs to be replaced. You could try to get it repaired, but most companies that repair pumps charge more than a new one costs to work on an old crappy (literally) one, you know?

    You can try plugging the pump into another outlet... say the washing machine outlet and see if it pops the breaker over time. If the breaker pops, replace the pump.

    Good luck!
