What is the maximum pump cycling time suggested for an ejector system to function properly?

The maximum pump cycling time suggested for an ejector system to function properly is typically around 5 minutes. This recommendation is grounded in the need to ensure that the ejector system operates efficiently and effectively while avoiding potential issues such as short cycling. Short cycling can lead to increased wear and tear on the pump and can also prevent the system from fully evacuating the sewage or waste, which could result in backup or other operational problems.

A 5-minute cycling period allows the system to manage its function without rapidly turning on and off, which would compromise its longevity and reliability. In addition, this timeframe helps to maintain proper waste processing while ensuring the system can maintain consistent operation under varying load conditions. Proper cycling time is essential for maximizing pump life and ensuring optimal performance in sewage ejector systems.
