Is your plumbing system located below the main sewer line? If you have a basement bathroom, your home is located in a dip or valley, or if your home is far away from the closest municipal sewer, you’ll have to rely on a sewage grinder pump to move wastewater uphill and into the main sewer line.
Rooter Ranger provides professional sewer grind pump installation and repairs in Phoenix, Tucson, Scottsdale, and Sun City, Arizona, and Las Vegas, Nevada.
What Is a Grinder Pump and How Is It Different From a Sewage Pump?
Normally, homes rely on gravity to move wastewater to the municipal sewer line. However, when a home is located far away or below the city sewer line, it needs a push to make it uphill or further away.
A grinder pump blends solid waste material and uses pressure to force water upward into the municipal sewer. It is not recommended for pumping to a septic tank, as the solid material doesn’t typically separate from the wastewater after being ground up into a slurry.
How Is a Sewage Grinder Pump Different from a Sewage Pump?
There are a number of different types of sewage pumps.
A sewer grinder pump is a powerful sewage pump activated with a pressure switch that grinds up solid waste. It can pump a lot of wastewater a fair distance to a city water main.
A standard sewage pump, also known as a sewer lift pump, is activated with a float switch and is generally less powerful than a sewer grinder pump. It pumps wastewater to a gravity flow sewer main or to a septic tank.
A sewerage ejector pump is similar to a sewer grinder pump, but it doesn’t have the grinder feature.
How Do I Know Which Sewage Pump Is Right For Me?
To determine which pump is right for you, we’ll need to determine the volume of sewage, its destination, and how far it must travel to get there. We recommend a sewage grinder pump if your sewage needs to be pumped to a pressured sewer main. A standard sewage pump is best for gravity-flow sewer mains or septic tanks.
