Why is the alarm activated (sounding) on my BIOMICROBICS Water System?

  Robert WagnerAug 15, 2025
  If the alarm is activated on your BIOMICROBICS Water System, several factors could be the cause. It might be due to the blower not running, in which case you should check and verify the wiring. A bad fuse could also be the culprit, requiring a fuse replacement. Alternatively, the minimum amp set point might be too high, so lowering it below the operation amp draw could solve the issue. Conversely, if the maximum amp set point is too low, increase it above the operation amp draw. Finally, the blower might be overheating and drawing more amps, in which case you should check if the vent(s) or airline is blocked or undersized, or check the water level inside the tank and the intake air filter.

  If you notice a septic odor from your BIOMICROBICS Water System, first ensure the blower is operating correctly. If not, refer to troubleshooting steps for when the blower is not running. Also, verify proper aeration in the reaction chamber; if aeration is insufficient, check for a broken air line and repair it. You may also create a remote vent by placing a well perforated vent line in a trench with shredded bark mulch; contact a local installer for assistance.

  If the mixing pump or blower amp draw is higher than the maximum set point on your BIOMICROBICS Water System, it could be due to the maximum amp set point being too low; increase the set point above the operation amp draw. Another possible cause is the blower overheating and drawing more amps. In this case, check if the vent(s) or airline is blocked or undersized, inspect the water level inside the tank, and examine the intake air filter.

  If the discharge pump amp draw is below the minimum set point on your BIOMICROBICS Water System, first check and verify the wiring, as the pump may not be running. Also, check for a bad fuse and replace it if necessary. Another potential cause is the minimum amp set point being too high; if this is the case, lower the set point below the operation amp draw.

  If the mixing pump or blower amp draw is below the minimum set point on your BIOMICROBICS Water System, it could be due to several reasons. The blower might not be running, so check and verify the wiring. A bad fuse could also be the problem, requiring a fuse replacement. Additionally, the minimum amp set point might be too high, so lower the set point below the operation amp draw. If mixing is not used, disable the mixing apparatus.

  If the discharge amp draw is higher than the maximum set point on your BIOMICROBICS Water System, it could be because the maximum amp set point is too low; increase the set point above the operation amp draw. Additionally, the pump might be overheating and drawing more amps, so check if the pump is seized.

Why does the blower run backward on my BIOMICROBICS Water System?
- D
  David GillSep 4, 2025
  If the blower runs backward in your BIOMICROBICS Water System, and it's a 3-Phase system, the power connection may have been wired incorrectly, or the power is out of phase. To fix this, switch any two 'hot legs' at the panel or blower after turning OFF the power. Note that only a qualified electrician can perform this work. If it's a Single Phase system that was wired incorrectly, switch the two wires after turning OFF the power, and again, only a qualified electrician should do this work. After rewiring, drying the blower's internal parts may be necessary.

What causes a high water alarm in my BIOMICROBICS Water System?
- J
  James StewartSep 7, 2025
  If a high water alarm occurs with your BIOMICROBICS Water System, it could be due to a high water level inside the tank, requiring you to investigate the system. Alternatively, the float may be stuck or in an incorrect location; relocate the float according to the drawing.
