For the sump pump owner

One sump pump on the board. Float switch test / run cycle on the Zoeller M53 every 3 months, on a calendar line. Intake screen clean / check-valve inspection every 12 months, on its own calendar line. That is the whole list, and it lives on one due board.

You know the last float test. The float switch was tested and the pump run-cycled at Basement Guard Plumbing on July 4, 2026, and the invoice said $45. Say that date to Muse once and the row is written. Three months from July 4 is October 4, 2026, and the Worker counts the leftover days on the calendar: 0 days left as of October 4, due today. Book Basement Guard Plumbing for that morning and the pit stays ahead of the next storm.

You know the intake screen too. The intake screen was cleaned and the check valve inspected at Basement Guard Plumbing on April 12, 2026, and the invoice said $120. Say that date once and the twelve-month row is written, next due April 12, 2027. That is 190 days left as of October 4 — the screen keeps gravel out of the impeller until it is lifted and brushed again.

Before the next storm fills the pit, ask Muse what's due on the M53. The float test comes back with October 4, 2026 and due today. The intake screen comes back with April 12, 2027 and the 190 days left. The Worker subtracts on the calendar and names what is left, and no model sits in the due path.

The calendar lines keep their dates. The float switch test is every 3 months: lid off, float lifted until the switch clicks and the pump runs, check valve thuds once, float released. The dry week that makes the pit easy to forget does not slide October 4 — groundwater rises either way. The intake screen clean is every 12 months: pump lifted, screen brushed, sump flushed, check valve opened and reseated. The quiet year with no flooding and no gravel does not skip April 12. A late tick is logged when it happened; the cadence does not move. These are the cadences you told Muse, not spec-sheet promises.

Your shop preference is one ask too. Say it once: Always Basement Guard Plumbing on the sump pump. Muse writes it, and the next float or intake booking starts at Basement Guard Plumbing without you naming the shop again.

The board can call ChatGPT too. Subscribe once and ChatGPT hears when a logged tick puts the float test or the intake screen on the board, in a signed webhook naming the job and how late. You did not have to ask first.

The day the house sells or you move out, say it once: sold. Muse archives the sump pump and the due board drops it that day. Every float row and intake row you logged stays in the history. If the deal falls through, one ask puts it back on the board.
