The pump is running but drawing only 22.2% of its nameplate amperage, indicating no hydraulic load. This is a failure condition requiring immediate professional attention. All other system components are in good condition.\n\n## TANK MEASUREMENTS\n| Measurement | Value |\n| --- | --- |\n| Scum Thickness | 3 in |\n| Sludge Depth | 8 in |\n| Total Fluid Depth | 48 in |\n| Solids Content | 22.9% -- within normal range |\n\nThe liquid level is at the outlet. The effluent filter is in good condition with light soiling and was cleaned and reseated during this maintenance visit.\n\n## PUMP ASSESSMENT\n| Parameter | Measured | Nameplate | Load % | Status |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Amp Draw | 1.6 A | 7.2 A | 22.2% | CRITICAL - No Load |\n\n**Finding:** The pump ran through a full cycle during this maintenance visit. The measured amp draw of 1.6 amperes is 22.2% of the nameplate rating of 7.2 amperes. This indicates the pump is running without hydraulic load. The motor is spinning but the pump is not moving fluid.\n\n**Probable Causes:** The most likely causes are a broken or missing impeller, a severed or disconnected discharge line, or a dry-run condition (no fluid reaching the pump inlet). A motor running without fluid cooling is at risk of overheating and failure.\n\n**Electrical Connections:** Sound. High water alarm tested and functional.\n\n## DISPERSAL FIELD\nThe dispersal field surface is dry with no evidence of breakout or ponding.\n\n## WORK PERFORMED\n- Cleaned and reseated the effluent filter\n- Measured scum, sludge and total fluid depth\n- Ran the effluent pump through a full cycle and measured amp draw\n- Tested the high water alarm\n- Walked the dispersal field and checked for surface breakout\n\n## RECOMMENDATIONS\n\n**IMMEDIATE (Critical Priority):**\n- Immediate professional attention is required for the effluent pump. A qualified technician must examine the pump discharge line for disconnection or damage, check the impeller for breakage, and verify that fluid is reaching the pump inlet. Do not continue operating the system in this condition.\n\n**Routine:**\n- Continue the current 12-month maintenance interval once the pump issue is resolved.\n\n## HOMEOWNER GUIDANCE\n\n### Solids Accumulation\nThis maintenance visit recorded solids at 22.9 percent of tank volume, which is within the normal range. Solids accumulate naturally as bacteria break down waste. Keeping non-biodegradable material out of the system -- wipes, paper towels, cooking grease, and medications -- keeps that accumulation predictable and manageable.\n\n### Pump Failure Risk\nThe pump is currently unable to move effluent from the tank to the treatment unit. This is a failure, not a minor fault. If the pump cannot be repaired quickly, the tank will fill and the system will back up into the house.
