Concept

Control Freak Septic, brought to you by Control FreakConcept: a product in development. Design, contents, and features may change. Demo values are simulated.

Sound familiar?

An alarm should tell you more.

The alarm goes off while you are away.

Get an alert on your phone. Add your service company as an email or text recipient so they can hear about it too.

Is it the air pump or something else?

Air pressure points you to the aerator or its air line. A named alert gives you a useful place to start checking.

What happened at the last visit?

Service visits and alerts are logged on the controller, ready when you need the history.

How it works

From the air line to your phone.

Have your system fitted

Have a qualified service company or electrician connect the controller, sensors and outputs to your aerobic system.

Set the rules

Set the air pressure alarm and spray schedule with your service company. Rules run on the controller.

Know what needs attention

Read the named alert, review the service log and contact your service company. Phone alerts need internet.

What makes it different

A useful reason behind the alarm.

Air pressure, not a guess

A low pressure reading can indicate an air pump failure or a broken air line. It does not distinguish the two without a check.

Rules stay at home

A Wi-Fi or internet drop changes nothing about the controller alarm and spray timer while power is available.

Your choice of alert

Push, text, email or alarm. Owner alerts have no subscription. Add your service company as an email or text recipient.

What is included

One complete kit of its own.

Controller, sensors and the outputs this system uses, together.

It can also run from a Pool controller’s spare outputs. Ask your installer about fit for your system.

Controller in an outdoor enclosure, with Home Assistant built in
Air pressure sensor, high water float and chlorine tablet level float
Housing and outdoor temperature probes
Outputs for the aerator, spray pump and alarm light + buzzer
Spray timer and service log on the controller

Your existing septic system, air pump and spray pump are not included. Installation and system compatibility need a qualified review. Concept kit contents may change.

Home Assistant

One place for your home and your septic system.

Home Assistant is built in. See your septic readings alongside the rest of your home, with no subscription.

The alarm and spray timer run on the controller. Phone notifications still need internet.

Honest limits

Monitoring helps you decide what to check.

Pump operation not verified

An output command does not confirm the spray pump actually ran. This kit does not measure chlorine concentration or effluent quality.

It cannot fix a failing drainfield

Keep your required inspections and maintenance. A tablet level float is not a water quality test.

Power matters

Nothing runs in a power cut without backup power. Phone alerts during an outage need a small UPS on the controller and router, plus a working internet connection. A small UPS does not power the pumps.
