Current indication

Sparks79

Evening all, 

A client has asked if I can have an indication (from within the house) of when the septic tank pump is running, just for the peace of mind that they know that it does actually work!, I can't see anything obvious in terms of an off the shelf product, I'm thinking I would require a type of current monitoring device and a simple light indicating the pump is 'on' or even a figure confirming the amps being drawn. Any suggestions appreciated.

    A panel mounted ammeter is cheap enough and will give an indication that the pump is drawing about the usual current.

    A basic kwh meter if observed daily will show if the consumption is normal, even if if the pump is not running at the moment of observation. 

    A pilot lamp may be wired so as to light when the pump is drawing current, but probably needs to be home made.
