My problem started 5 weeks ago when I decided to be a good hobbyist and disconnect all equipments in the sump and clean every thing in citric acid. All cleaned and plugged in again. I also open up the drain diaphragm valve make it shiny and place it back.
powered everything and call a day. The next morning the water level was high so I adjust the valve and get the desired level again. At night the water drop down to the point that the main drain would suck air so I would walk from my bed and close the valve up to the desired level again. this scenario is what Im having since that day.
I have done everything comes to my mind. Checked the wire connections, unplug and plug back, disconnect the pump and check, I disassembled the drain pipes and cleaned them.
after close watching I found out that this starts between 12-12:30 am EVERYDAY where the water drops. I don’t know when does it start to overflow from the emergency drain. the second thing I noticed that when I get the water level to its position I can hear water trickle passing from the weir box. Where in the morning I dont hear it even that the water level at the same position At both cases.
what I have come to is that it’s an electrical or electronic malfunction with one or both of the pumps.
they are Varios 6 and varios 8 return pumps both are running flawlessly at second speed settings for 13 months.
how can I till what and which is the problem. Is it power supply, controller or the pump it self? And which one of them 6 or 8?
I don’t want to buy random parts and hope it’s the first thing. And can one tell me if it a malfunction why it’s happening at the same time every day and not at any time?
