know it and what to expect from it. Once this is done, you can spot troubles before they blow
out of proportion.
The most important thing to do to care for your lift station is to read and record the hour
meters every day, at the same time. A calendar or log book works great for this. Record both the
total hours and daily total by subtracting the previous day’s total from the current day’s hours. If
everything is working correctly, the pumps will have pumped the same number of hours each
day because they alternate. Get to know how many hours to expect because this will indicate
problems down the road if the numbers are off. Hour meters in all of Aqua Engineering systems
turn off when the pump turns off for any reason. Because of this, if there is a difference in the
hours between the pumps, the pump with the least hours is likely to be the problem pump.
