    Abstract: A method and system detects and resolves impending failures in a sump pump. The method and system may measure the current water level in a sump basin, which houses the sump pump. The current water level may be determined by a water level sensor placed slightly above the high water level mark in the sump basin. If the current water level is above the high water level mark, the method and system may activate a mechanical shaker that produces vibrations to physically shake the sump pump. If the current water level is below the high water level mark, the method and system may analyze a motor of the sump pump to determine if the run time of the motor exceeds a certain length of time. When the run time is determined to exceed the certain length of time, the method and system may send an alarm to notify a user.

    Abstract: A method and system detects and resolves impending failures in a pump. The method and system may measure a current liquid level in a basin, which houses the pump. The current liquid level may be determined by a liquid level sensor placed slightly above a high liquid level mark in the basin. If the current liquid level is determined to have surpassed the high liquid level mark, the method and system may activate a mechanical shaker that produces vibrations to physically shake the pump. If the current liquid level is determined to not have surpassed the high liquid level mark, the method and system may analyze a motor of the pump to detect signatures that indicate potential problems with the motor.

    Abstract: A method and system detects and resolves impending failures in a sump pump, such as failures in a motor of the sump pump and soft mechanical failures. To detect failures in the motor, the method and system may analyze the electrical load waveform of the motor to identify signatures that may indicate potential problems with the motor. To detect soft mechanical failures, the method and system may measure the current water level in a sump basin, which houses the sump pump. The current water level may be determined by a water level sensor placed slightly above the high water level mark in the sump basin. To resolve the detected failures, the method and system may activate a mechanical shaker, which may be attached or integrated with the sump pump, that produces vibrations to physically shake the sump pump. If the failures cannot be resolved by the mechanical shaker, the method and system may send an alert message to notify a user of the situation.
