Effluent filter alarm—why you shouldn’t ignore it

Effluent filter alarm—why you shouldn’t ignore it

An effluent filter alarm means wastewater flow is restricted, usually from a clogged filter. This is one you want to address quickly — waiting could lead to sewage backing up into your home.

💡 Pro Tip: Know what kind of alarm your septic system has before it goes off. Unlike a fire alarm, it’s not a matter of “if” — it’s “when.”

In this video, we explain what to do if your effluent filter alarm sounds, and when to call a septic professional.

Watch the full video on YouTube to protect your home and avoid costly damage.
