I live in a garden unit condo. The ejector pump stopped working this weekend.
I replaced it with a Ridgid SEP 500. I spent most of yesterday flushing toilets and running water to make sure it was working.
On two occasions, it failed to start (water started backing up in the floor drain).
I would then jiggle the air vent on the pit, and it would kick in.
Same thing happened this morning. After about 8 toilet flushes, no pumping.
Does this sound like a problem with the float switch?
I'm thinking of switching it out for a zoeller M264. Is that type of swtich (vetical, I think) better?
Or is it better to just buy a new type of float switch (and can anyone recommend)?
Thanks
