✅ Pump offline
20251214: Marking as resolved. Electrical panel B powers this pump. @todo add metered circuitbreaker to monitor when pump is powered. Because pump1 was jammed having power to the pump doesn’t mean things are working fine.
Yesterday painters and supertech (security cameras) showed up on site around 9am. By the time I was there around 11am the pump alarm was already going off without stop. I assumed that the floats were messed up and causing alarm to trigger but plumber clarified today that it was due to loss of power and the alarm being constant on was informing us of a problem. That night it rained and the well was accumulating. I manually removed some of the well water using a bucket at 4am until it broke and I gave up about an hour later. I believe I had only removed about half a feet worth of water.
Today, after calling various people, finally got a hold of High Watt Ltd (our high voltage tech) and used video chat to turn on the pump back on. The problem was a control panel located in the main floor bedroom being set to off. He and I agreed that the pump’s circuit breaker location makes no sense since the most logical one is located in laundry room.
Due to location of this circuit breaker. Installing a backup power may prove to be challenging. On the upside if I use a ecoflow delta to energize the circuit panel I wouldn’t have to move it up and down the stairs as I can have it tucked behind the main closet.
Alternatively I can drop a utility pump in the storm well. Not going to do that on the wet well though. That one will definitely be run off of backup power.
One observation today i see a constant flow of water coming from a small hole on the well. Plumber stated it was water around the property will run in there. I believe, because our neighbours that are on higher ground has houses that are not sunk in as deeply to the ground, all the water running from the higher ground is eventually hitting our well and we are extracting and pumping out more water than an average house.
