I almost didn't click because I suspected clickbait. I'm really glad I clicked, though, because you gave a clear and complete explanation that made a lot of sense. THANK YOU.
Sometimes, like in my case two sinks, laundry machine is also connected to the basin with my ejector pump. So there's a lot of detergent and soap going through there. The shower is also connected. It's good to know which chemicals or solvents or paints can also mess up the pump.
Thanks for this video! It helped me to decide to get a regular sewer pump, without a grinder. We only have to pump up about 7 feet, and now I would be concerned about the slurry made by the grinder pump bypassing the septic tank and getting into the drainfield. So a non-grinder sewer pump it is!
Great video ,, I need to pump up to a septic tank..How far will a 1/2 horse everbilt sewage pump send the sewage if the ((rize )) is about 7 feet. Im jammed up, need help thanks
it sounded like you said that the startup capacitor gets overheated by obstructions and then fails, ruining the pump... am I correct? If yes, why not just replace the startup capacitor?
Hi "R.C." would we need to replace our grinder pump (which is in a pumpwell) with another grinder pump because the surplus dirty water needs to be pumped uphill from the septic sewage tank and pumpwell?
My biggest issue with my sewage pump in my home is HAIR. It would get caught in the impeller and stop the pump. It's an easy fix by removing the obstruction. I told my wife she has to clean the drain of her hair every time she takes a shower. As for the Flushable wipes, they should be outlawed! I can't tell you how many times I had to call a plumber out to clear a waste line full of those wipes. One time I was standing in 6" of pure human waste trying to clear a drain packed with flushable wipes.
If you have a toilet and people are going to be doing number #2 , can you only use a sewer pump? Pumping up About 11’ from bottom of pump up to the sewer pipe
I am building a Mother in-law house and want to tie into the existing septic tank. It will be 60-70’ away. I was told an expensive grinder pump is what was needed. Are there other alternative ways? Both houses are at 2-3’ elevation above septic tank
Thank you for this video! May I assume that even a basement bathroom where I can control what goes in the toilet we wouldn't nee a grinder? We have a septic and must pump up about 6 to 8 feet to tie in. Also, do you recommend any manufacturers? Thanks again.
I’ve been living in a house for 15 years and I’m going to have replace my pump for the second time. I thought that was excessive but based on your video I guess that’s not bad?
@@Fossillarson 1hp is crazily oversized for most home owner applications..... I do have a 1/2 hp Liberty pump so far so good.... The reason why I was saying it cuz I was gonna recommend liberty pump or pentair pump
I also learned that you never want to install a grinder pump in a system that is connected to a septic system. Because they grind stuff into a slurry and that slurry doesn’t settle and can make it past the baffles of the septic tank into the leach field making the leach field fail!!
Hi! Question--I saw that someone mentioned hair below, and that's my biggest concern with either type of pump. Does hair from a shower drain (which I try to limit to the best of my ability, but it still goes everywhere) tend to clog up these pumps? Is one better or worse than the other for something like hair?
Good afternoon, thanks for the vid. Im building a new home. The basement is a 9’ ceiling height so in order to accomplish this with the sewer lateral depth of 8’ they recommend I either raise the elevation of the home (which we’d rather not do) or add a sewer pump. Im very hesitant to put a pump in. What do you recommend? I kind of feel like if the pump is avoidable at all choose that option. Thanks
We're building a home as well. With the bathroom in the basement, and possibly laundry, we'll need a sewage pump. I don't think the pump would be a problem (until it fails). But my plan is just to get a good one and have some sort of alarm down there to alert me if the pump has failed. I assumed we'd have a grinder, but now I'm thinking, no. Don't change your elevation. Build the house you want. This is not new technology. It's done all the time. Just get one strong enough to push everything up and out. But, by all means, don't just take my opinion.
I have a problem with my city sewage. Whenever it rains more than 3 inches of rain in a short time the city sewage gets too much ground water in there sewage it becomes full and backs up in to my sewage to my house. I had to have a back flow valve put in to keep from flooding sewage in to my finished basement. We have to wait may be 6 to 8 hours before we can use the toilets. I have been arguing with the city to put in a proper drainage pump. They keep telling me to put in a grinder pump, because they refuse to fix the problem. I already have 2 sump pumps in my basement. I’m putting in an outside drainage system with another sump pump, to get the excessive water away from my house. This has been going on for years. I know it would be nice, if the city would fix there problem, but what are my options?
Great video! I have a 4plexe with tenants and I have a sewer pump in a manhole that pumps uphill to the city sewer about 150' away, would you suggest a grinder pump for that situation? Thanks for your advice!!
Hello, I wanted to ask you what the smallest pump size that is commercially available as I am building a small bunker, and all of the ejector pumps I have found are way to big for what I am using it for. Also, can you explain the difference between a macerator, chopper, and grinder? Thanks in advance.
Good Video , can you pls tell us how to select a pump for swage applications for certain flow rate L/ S , actually I find difficulty to do that , mathematically pls.
I have a full kitchen and full bath in the basement of my home. The current pump motor burned up because of wipes being put in the toilet. My question is; since it an underground basement (most basements are) can a sump pump suffice instead of a grinder?
No, sump pumps cannot pass the solids that would be present in your application. You may be able to use a solids handling pump that would simply pass the waste through it instead of cutting it up. Give us a call and we can help you determine the best pump for your application: 855.329.4519
Hi, you seem to know a lot on those pumps. I have a process in the biotechnology field where we need to grind small roots and the way we can protect the integrity of our product is by grinding in water. So, this is why we are considering to use a grinder pump.
I live in a flooded area.....I want to pump out my drain water which contains dry leaves,hairs, food material and human excreta.... should I buy a sump pump or a grinder pump???
Have you done a video on sewage pits and pumps as far as how to maintain them? I have heard sometimes you want to put stuff in the pit to prevent growth of certain bacteria’s you don’t want like one dealing with the iron in the water for example.....
For residential applicants this can be so true. Watch what you flush! For commercial applications of any kind this is absolutely not true. You cannot always decide what will be flushed. Had a corporate store where people would flush underwear, shirts, and everything you could imagine, it had to have grinders in it to last 1 day. Also had a customer at an RV Park tell me he did not need nor want grinders so his maintenance men are at a lift station at the back of the park once to twice per month pulling out flushable wipes and other items. His wife told me she was going to have choice words with him for choosing not to install grinder pumps. I had another Truck stop customer (against our advice) try some Sewer Pumps from Home Depot that were much cheaper than grinder pumps he had to buy (1 grinder about every 2 years at $2400E so about $100 month cost and no maintenance money spent taking care of them). After a year or so I visited the site and found a stack of 6 of these $400 pumps outside the fence where they had thrown them after replacing them. When I talked to his maintenance man about the stack of 6 pumps sitting outside the fence he said that didn't include 6 more he had already hauled off. So in less than 2 years they had spent over $4000 (not including the enormous labor and down time replacing the cheaper pumps). The duplex system was burning up the non-grinder pumps every 45-60 days or so whenever stuff got stuck in them from NOT being ground up. Grinders have their use. Good maintenance is always required with any system. Replace the knives and put the proper overloads/controls on your pumps and they will serve you well. If you leave them alone they die an expensive death. All lift stations require maintenance.
I never thought of replacing the knives (I'm guessing same as blades?). My lawn mower needs new blades every once in a while. Why wouldn't my grinder pump.
Where is a good website for simple uphill septic systems? I have a house, i need to pump sewage uphill to a septic tank, maybe 150 feet in length and 15 feet rise in elevation...this can't be complicated right?...The house was built in 1890 but someone built a house & septic tank uphill on the same lot and that house burnt down, i would like to use that septic system.
How do I really know I need a sewer grinder?. I know the city water tell you that you need one , but seriously these things are costing me a fortune. If anyone comes to my house and put any thing like a feminine napkins or a wet wipe there is a good chance it will destroy the pump I already had one destroyed with a flushable wet wipe. Unless you keep people out of your bathroom, it is almost impossible to prevent some person from flushing things they shouldn't. I currently have an E-one which seem to be top e of the line but had to replace three in 5 years and they are now over 4k for just the pump grinder .
Great video. I'm very curious how many times you have to shake your head at your customers' bad decisions before you're motivated to make a video like this.
I was told I need a grinder pump (and tank) for my new house because the sewer system is positive pressure. (Btw, I live on a hill that is about 25 to 30 feet above the street.) So I went ahead and had one installed. A couple of months later the 1 1/4" PVC coupling connecting my discharge line broke down by the street. I would have thought that positive pressure sewer main would back flow out of the broken PVC line but it didn't. So I am wondering if just a sewage pump would have worked at a lot less of a cost.
Much Disinformation! A good Grinder can last for many Years and reduce a lot of service calls because people will not stop flushing incorrect articles! True, some grinder pumps are better than others.
I don't want to hear this, grinder pump was just replaced with a grinder pump. Honestly, only need a head height of 10 ft. well hope I don't need to apply what I learned for a long time
Frankly they can last 20 years but any one of these reasons enough. Adding and I quit the county representative $1,000.00 to $2,000.00 a year in utility prices. But wait there is more if our neighborhood converts to county sewage there is $20,000.00 worth of tearing up our homes and yards To install the system plus a and get this a $36,000.00 county installation fee deferred that can be payed off in time but must be paid in full when the house is sold!?!? So the county assuage there is some Bay preservation act that MAY reimburse Some installation costs in2021 dollars and we are 2 1/2 years from start so add 10% to everything. But my big point is $36.000.00 in home equity the county takes right out of your pocket so anybody wanting to see better sell now!
Got foamy about this and my typing sucks big fingers IPHONE but if this plan passed one thing is for sure we will sure get our pockets picked by county sewage.and new homeowners will be upside down on equity with there first payment.

Just design a pump that is meant to handle those types of materials. Engineers should focus on a system that allows people to flush whatever they need to, including baby wipes, flushable wipes, paper towels, etc. people want convenience these days.

Just design a pump that is meant to handle those types of materials. Engineers should focus on a system that allows people to flush whatever they need to, including baby wipes, flushable wipes, paper towels, etc. people want convenience these days.
Those materials you want to allow down the system isn't good for the pipes and lift stations it has to go through for processing.
