Hi,

I have a newly installed septic tank that has an ordinary float-switch
activated pump to lift waste water up to raised leach field. I would
like to monitor pump activity and water usage (just for the fun of it
for the most part) by wiring into some kind of counter or single-beep
sound into the system. Does anyone know of such a counter? Other
ideas?
