What will happen to the pumps if a bubbler system line becomes clogged?

In a bubbler system used for wastewater management, the pumps rely on pressure changes determined by the air pressure from the bubbler line. If this line becomes clogged, the expected air pressure readings will not be achieved. As a result, the pump may not receive the correct signals to shut off once the set level of wastewater is reached. This scenario can cause the pump to run continuously, unable to respond to the changes in liquid level because it doesn't detect the pressure drop that would normally indicate there is enough liquid present.

Understanding this behavior is crucial in maintaining proper operation and efficiency in wastewater systems. Continuous pumping can lead to overflows, strain on the pump, and ultimately equipment failure if not addressed. Regular maintenance of the bubbler system line is important to prevent such issues.
