The average life expectancy is 6 to 10 years for a residential low head effluent pump and 3 to 15 years for residential high head effluent pump. Life expectancy of the pump depends on many different factors, some of which are the quality of the pump, how often the pump has to run, and the electrical supply to the pump.
The table below lists common troubleshooting symptoms, probable causes, and corrective actions.

If the voltage is under the recommended minimum, check the size of the wiring from the main switch on the property. If OK, contact power company.
