I am trying to get the timer to spray at night. Have the little know set to middle but it goes off at random times. It just went off at 1:20pm! I have already replaced the timer thinking maybe it was corroded inside causing troubles. Seems that something else is wrong and causing the timer to not actually regulate the spray times. A local septic guy just said the little knob should be moved all the way to the clock icon and not in the middle setting. Can you please confirm? Also can you please tell me if there is a secondary thing to troubleshoot if sprayers go off “outside” of specific timer settings? Thanks!
If I set the switch in the "On Demand" position for 1am to 6am, but the water level gets high at 2pm, will it pump then? Or, will it ONLY pump during the set times, running a risk of the alarm going off outside the set times?
I think there is something wrong with the operation of my timer. I have attempted to set it to the correct time (of day) and set the approximate time that I want the sprinklers to spray (at night). I can hear the mechanical timer working inside the unit but I am getting sprayers activated during the day. I thought, 'that's odd' so I attempted to spin the timer to the opposite 12hours thinking I could get it to respond that way and I am still getting spraying during the day. Might be time to call the technician?
If the septic system is having a smell, the aerobic is NOT working. Check the aeration system. If not working, once repaired it usually takes 3 -7 days for system to correct and not have any smell.
mate is it safe to turn the sprinkler off for week as i has my pipe damage and there is bit water which i like to be dried. before replacing i like water to be off. thanks in advance
Guy turns the dial right back to where it was instead of explaining going to say, 2:00 a.m., then explaining what to set the little switches to. Lazy, but probably doesn’t know how to do it. 😂
Although we dont have a septic tank or sprinklers, it was interesting to watch. Keep the video content coming!
Thanks for this video Wood Chuck! Exactly what I needed
Awesome man, this was a big help. I have red dirt septic to. wasn't expecting to find the exact match on youtube!
Thanks a heap for helping me out today, man. 👊
Thanks for the explanation
So...setting the switch to demand means it will operate by the float if I dont care when it runs?
What does the septic switch to the bottom mean? Goes off when full?

We have 2 timer/dials on our system! Do they NEED to run twice a day?

As long as the tank will not overflow, yes. I would just limit usage if I had to turn it off for that long
If the timer is set from 1-4am does it run that whole time?
No, that’s the time that it can go off if needed
@@WoodChuckCreations thanks for the quick response, that makes sense.
@@WoodChuckCreations what if it fills up during the hours it’s not timed to come on?
Turn it on demand?
what if my sprinklers dont go off on demand?
I'm having the same problem. I hope someone can give some insight on this
Did you ever get an answer? Having the same problem
