Double Piggyback Application
If using the double piggyback float switch option, the floats should be
set as follows (see Fig. 6).
Clarus Environmental recommends an auxiliary high water alarm
when using the double piggyback float switch option. The alarm
should be plugged into a different circuit than the pump circuit. Follow
the installation instructions provided with the alarm (see Fig. 7).
The alarm must be activated at or before the point when the effluent
level reaches the bottom of the inlet pipe.
Record the actual settings measured from the top of the float tree in
the table provided for future reference.

Pump off - Black (maximum 30½")
Transferring float locations if the pump vault is hung from the top
of the tank:
When the pump vault is hung, the top of the float tree is 3½" below the
top of the septic tank. Therefore, any distance measured from the top
of the septic tank, minus 3½", will transfer to the top of the float tree
(see Fig. 4 for example).

If using a simplex control panel, the floats should be set as follows
(see Fig. 7).
The alarm must be activated at or before the point when the effluent
level reaches the bottom of the inlet pipe.
Record the actual settings measured from the top of the float tree in
the table provided for future reference.

Simplex Control Panel Applications
Transferring float locations if the pump vault is placed on the
septic tank floor:
When the pump vault is placed on the floor, the top of the float tree is
52½" from the floor. Measure the depth of the tank and record above.
Subtract any distance measured from the depth of the tank, then sub-
tract that number from 52½" and the answer will transfer to the top of
the float tree (see Fig. 5 for example).
