    Sewer ejector system maintaince
    Every few years my float switch in the collector basin keeps getting coated and built up with sludge(?) preventing it from floating up to turn on the pump. Waste source is primarily 80% kitchen, 10% bathroom and 10% laundry. What type of cleaners/additives are available to pour through a sink or lav to disolve the buildup in the basin?
