* I had another hunch last night.

I said to myself, maybe there is a problem at the alarm box inside the
house?
After messing around with it for a few minutes, it would turn off, but
there was a hum/vibration coming from it, so I knew it wasn't stable.

So I decided to unplug the unit completely and go to sleep.

Today when I just plugged it in, BINGO!
It was reset, no hum/vibration.

If only I had done this test before the septic guy came over. *


OK, now I'm confused and ****ed.

The alarm just went off again, Two hours after I plugged it in after
it was reset.

No rain outside, no water was used in the house for the last two
hours.

I went downstairs just now to play with the alarm box again, and
before I could reach for it, it turned itself off!

Guidance as to what I should do now (at minimal cost) would be
appreciated.

TIA
