Can high water level or pump fault alarms from a drainage pump be sent to a manager's mobile phone by SMS instead of sounding only at the site? – MyPump Solutions Center

Yes, most sump and drainage pump control panels can add mobile SMS notifications while retaining the existing buzzer alarm.

More precisely, the alarm “sound” is not converted into a text message. Instead, an LTE/GSM remote alarm device receives the electrical alarm signal that activates the buzzer and sends an SMS.

Therefore, there is no need to replace the existing drainage pump and entire control panel. The key is to first check which alarm contacts the current control panel provides.

Condition	Existing response	How to add SMS notifications
High water level in sump	Buzzer and warning light activated	Connect the high water level contact to the SMS device
Pump overload	EOCR relay activated	Connect the fault output contact
Pump stopped or tripped	Control panel internal alarm	Use the Fault contact
Both 2 pumps faulty	Common alarm activated	Connect the Common Alarm contact
Power outage	Loss of power to the control panel	Power outage detection and a communication device with a battery required
Normal operation restored	Alarm cleared	Can be configured to send a restoration SMS as well
