On the screen: HIGH WATER ALARM
- Write down the tank number shown with the alarm.
- Print the alarm report at the console.
- Press ALARM/TEST, or tap the alarm bar, to silence it.
When to call a tech
- To get the water out. That's a service job.
- Water comes back after it was taken out.
- You can't tell how the water got in.
Not to be confused with
- High Liquid: liquid in a sump or dispenser pan, not the tank.
- Water Alarm: a sensor found water, not the tank probe.
Good to know
- Veeder-Root's team cleared 86% without a tech (2018).
- Federal rule: unexplained water in a tank is a suspected leak.
- Report it within 24 hours, unless a check finds no leak.
- Your state can set a stricter deadline.
Who can fix it
- A fuel equipment service company takes the water out.
- A tech certified on Veeder-Root consoles, for the probe.
- Texas: tank repairs need a TCEQ-registered contractor.
