When must the pump vault perform to its specifications?

The pump vault must perform to its specifications between normal service intervals to ensure that the entire septic system operates effectively and efficiently. This means that the pump vault should consistently manage the wastewater flow and avoid issues such as backups or failures, regardless of the external conditions or the frequency of inspections.

When a pump vault operates correctly during this interim period, it protects the integrity of the septic system and minimizes the risk of contamination or environmental issues. Regular performance is crucial because any deviation can lead to increased wear on the system and potentially costly repairs.

In contrast, relying on the pump vault to function only during emergencies or maintenance checks could lead to significant problems, as the system should be in constant readiness to handle wastewater under regular conditions.
