This Application Note shows how to solve a mis-configuration issue that results in the pumps not alternating.
Turning Off Jockey Pumps When a Large Pump Starts (AN34.2) (184KB PDF)
Two small pumps normally control the well, with alternation. If the level gets too high, a third larger pump will turn on. The smaller pumps must be turned off when the large pump starts.
Selective Lock-out of Pumps (AN35.3) (161KB PDF)
This application note shows how to maximise use of available pumps while selectively locking out other pumps. The example used for this application note is a GenSet that cannot run certain combinations of pumps.

New Version Sump Cleanout (AN42.9) Multitrode Pump Controllers normally stop the pump-out sequence before the pump reaches the snore point. However, for many sewer wells, it is desirable to completely empty the well on a regular basis. This cleans the well, and reduces problems from odours.
