Surely a treatment plant effluent pump falls under appliances. Pump was replaced when we bought the house 4 years ago but quit spraying. What a fun and smelly job this was. Pump was cooked from intake being plugged. Tried to clean it up but it’s completely cooked. Can’t have a replacement until Wednesday so I had to dig up the emergency overflow pipe so that it could drain without backing the whole system up. I’m glad I’m not a plumber/septic tech as this is some disgusting stuff.

Rob start adding yeast to your system, routinely, this will allow bacteria to grow and eat the stuff up. Done this for 10 years…. Funny our septic company says we still don’t need our tank pumped.
We do this 2-3 times/ year.
 
Drop in something like this with a filter to prevent the clogging. Especially if you don't have a separate pump tank.

Universal Pump Vaults (PVU)

Universal Pump Vaults (PVU) are used to filter out up to two-thirds of the suspended solids from wastewater effluent flowing from septic tanks or separate dosing tanks in onsite wastewater systems and effluent sewers.

Mine is actually just a submersible pump that is sitting up on a couple of blocks to keep it out of the sludge with a float. Much less prone to clogging. But I have a 2 tank system, so I don't get as much solids into my second tank.

F the pump. Leave the drain line exposed. Done.

Yea it drains across the driveway so that’s not an option.

My set up is 2 tanks as well. Its aerobic system with an aerator in the first tank. In theory there shouldn’t be anything to plug the pump in the second tank but apparently something made it through the chlorinator. I’m going to write it off as a fluke but spent the extra $48 for the 3 year no questions asked replacement.
 
I know the alien incarnate @FJ60Cam knows all about the perfect expression machines.
But I’m no artist. I’m just user. I measly peasant. I pop tart eater amongst croissant aficionados….

But I want to upgrade my k cup nespresso machines

I’m not looking for the perfect latte leaf.
Remember how i wheel. All over the place, too much throttle, pretty s***i…

So point me to to pour beans in and punch a button.

And are they really anything better than the Nespresso machine I use on weekends because pods are 3x as much


Is this a option

Effluent pump went out again. I pulled the pump to make sure there wasn’t something stuck in the intake and I didn’t see any debris. Finally got in contact with the manufacturer, Franklin Pump, and talked to their tech department and it was determined that the pump was faulty. They agreed to send a replacement being that Amazon is an authorized retailer…but Amazon doesn’t sell or distribute them and instead use a 3rd party which is not authorized. Even though I purchased it off of Amazon under Prime the order was fulfilled by some other company. Franklin pump declined the warranty replacement and I’m out $400🤬. Luckily I bought the $48 Asurion extended warranty and after a text communication with a bot an Amazon gift card for the original price before tax was emailed to me. I ordered another pump with the gift card and spent another $48 for the extended warranty due to third party b/s. Just because i never want to do this again any time soon I decided to put a filter on the pump. I found a pump filter kit but after tax and shipping it was $225 so I made my own. A mere $54 later I had me a redneck pump filter. The new pump is completely silent when it’s on whereas the last replacement had a loud whine to it so hopefully I got a dud last time and this one will last for years to come.

Damn.

I said I was never gonna post in this thread again. I also said the last time I replaced my washer/dryer that I'd never work on these stupid POS's again. Couple of weeks ago, though, I had the washer torn apart replacing the lid/lock switch and related components.

Never say never.
 
Maytag dishwasher about 18 months old and a couple or three months ago it quit working. Did some internet sleuthing and decided it was the switch in the door. Oh yeah, being > 12 months since purchase it was out of warranty. I purchased and installed a new switch. Still dead. Pulled it out, more that once, to diagnose other things. We have an old school appliance shop in town and the guys that run it are great, they know the stuff in and out. I went by there asking about some part. The old guy said it's probably a wall switch. I still checked breakers, etc. and nothing.

We live in a 1960s house and had the kitchen remodeled in the last 18 months with the installation of this dishwasher, cabinets, along with updated electrical. We went about 2 weeks without a dishwasher and one day I looked up under the cabinet and saw this switch. I don't remember seeing it before. Note that the switch is down, well that is on and up is off. I had likely accidentally turned off the power to the dishwasher at one point. Seeing the switch I flipped it down and, !!!, power. This isn't the only upside down switch in this house.
