Unattended infrastructure whose failure mode is a sanitary sewer overflow — a public health event and a reportable one. Modern wipes make rag binding the dominant fault. The protection is a working standby pump and a working alarm, and the cheapest early warning available is simply comparing run times between duty and standby at every visit.
ChatterFix builds these as child assets under lift station pump, so failure history and PM completions attach to the component that actually failed — not just to the machine.
The failure modes worth designing a maintenance schedule around — in rough order of what they cost when they happen.
Recording that a PM was "done" tells you nothing next quarter. These are the readings that let you see a failure coming — and the reason ChatterFix captures measurements against the asset rather than just completions.
The parts whose absence turns a short repair into a long outage.
The PMs ChatterFix schedules against this equipment, with intervals and time estimates.
