Sewage Ejector Pump Replacement
ฝัง

- If your basement bathroom toilet is not flushing or your basement bathroom tub is not draining. It could be your sewage float has accumulated an excessive amount of toilet and simply needs to be removed. If you have a double plug in, the closet plug to the outlet is your sewage float switch and the back plug is your sewage pump directly. You can separate the plugs and help diagnose if it is the sewage float switch or if it is the sewage ejector pump itself. Unless you have grinder pump which almost no residential homes have these because they are super expensive. DO NOT flush flushable wipes , feminine products. It is best to flush one ply toilet paper and bodily fluids only. Residential pumps do not grind , they only pump waste, so wipes and thick toilet paper clog the toilets. if these plumbing tricks do not work you will need to have your sewage ejector pump (which by the way is the proper name, not sump pump) replaced.
Here is a video to help you get your sewage pump running if it is something minor:

Such a great point about the 2 ply toilet paper. The feel good toilet paper can really make a mess of your plumbing system 😬
It looks like you used a Zoeller pump with a vertical float. I am currently using a Liberty pump with a tethered float. Which do you recommend? I always fear the tethered float will get hung up on the side of the basin.
We loved the Liberty pump and used it for years. We adjust the tether a little shorter if needed so that doesn’t happen, however that can be tricky as if it is too short it continuously stays up and running. There is a fine line there. It seemed to be giving us more issues than we liked so we swapped to Zoeller for that reason. We like the double plug on Liberty better but have not had any issues so far with the Zoeller. We swapped over about a year ago.
Sometimes a little more for giving if you use a 2hp 230volt grinder pump but still not ment to flush junk down or it won't last either.
I would imagine a pump like that would certainly do the trick!
When I drill my hole i try to point it at the float so it has a chance to wash the paper off the float
@@hcimboss That is a great suggestion, hopefully I will remember to do so on the next one!!
Super good to kno!!.. out here in Fresno CA, very rare to run into this application.. thanks bro
You are welcome! I will get to visit your beautiful state I just a few days ! My son moved to Petaluma and will fly out to see him soon!!!
@@TappPlumbingthat’s awesome I do service calls all the time in Petaluma
@@mosesparada3867 I bet you run into all kinds of scenarios out there . How long does it take you to get there from your normal starting point?
After I drill the 3/16 hole I take a inch and a half by two firmco the 2-in covers the 3/16 hole and stops it from splashing around works great
Very interesting, that sounds like a great idea! We put the same video on tik tok and people said they try to make the hole to spray off the float . That is very interesting as well . Thanks for sharing!!!
I don’t know if you actually live close to the Salmon River. I know that area is still getting hammered with winter weather. I have friends already fishing down here and am very ready myself. I just need a little time!
@@TappPlumbing thanks for the shout out I live 45 minutes from the Salmon River at one time it was my second home now they're slamming steelheads it's a great time
Bad design tank should be larger
That pump will short cycle and need replacing again
Also, there’s a lot of float clamp option out there to ensure the float stays
See she rhombus or alder is products
Completely agree , it would be great if the tanks were larger. It is somewhat aggravating to get everything crammed in there.
Only new installs for me. No interest in this service work. Cudos to you sir good job line those pockets cause if i was doing it the price wouldnt be homeowner friendly. Cheers
I know what you mean about the new installs!! I always said the same thing, my father and uncle were plumbers and I worked in plumbing as a child . I only did new work until the recession of 08 when there was literally no new work. It was either do service or lose everything we had. Sometimes I really miss building new systems but the service is fairly interesting also. This job was super nasty but it does pay . This is actually a very small percentage of the type of work we do , most of it is fairly clean. Best of luck in your plumbing adventures and thanks so much for watching!!!!
What is this? How do you know if you have a ....whatever this is? 😮
It is a pump in basements that have plumbing that has to pumped up to a drain above. If you have one you will hear it turn on . It is under a round lid in the floor.
@TAPP PLUMBING I know what a sump pump is and I just heard mine a few minutes ago - but my sewage line doesn't run through it
@@mangos2888 Sump pumps are for rain water. They are different than a sewage ejector pump.Do you have a basement with plumbing in it?
I was gonna give this a Plumbers thumbs up but then you use rain shine glue so I can't 😂
Would I receive a thumbs up if you realized that is actually Weld On 725? The only bad thing about that stuff is the price. It is an amazing product!!!
@@TappPlumbing good glue but can't use it here weld on 700 and p-70 primer if it hinders seeing purple our inspectors turn it down
Bro You get the thumbs up because when a customer calls about sewage ejector all of a sudden I'm 2 weeks booked out... JK.... Plumbers are Heros!!
Use a LIBERTY “grinder pump” system these will shread a New York phone book easy
@@weekendfreedom6136 We used liberty for around a decade and then a few years ago it seemed like problems became a regular issue. I guess you have had good luck with them recently?
I love a new poopy pump install brother 😂😂😂🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
Looking for love in all the wrong places I see😂
Where the check valve on the outlet side
I am gonna do another video about that eventually. You won’t believe what was there when I started. The check valve and the shut off where the wrong order!! Thanks for a great question!!
@@TappPlumbing nice work!! 👍🏻
A better solution to this is to use a bidet. No tp needed. Problem solved.
Ha,well I guess that may be a solution to no toilet paper, however the pump still has to pump the liquids and solids therefore they still wear out unfortunately . Thank you for your suggestion, watching and commenting!
@@TappPlumbing agreed everything wears out eventually. But pumping straight water probably puts less load on the pump compared to solid waste.
I would absolutely hate that system
I don’t think there are many that would disagree with you!!!!
My life every 3 months
Are you telling me you are replacing a pump that often?
@TappPlumbing yea man, zoeller m267 for a triplex where everything goes into sewage bin. Can't tell tenants to use 1 ply. Have to clean toilet paper every 3 months and full pump failure at least once a year. Used zoeller m264 because it was cheaper and only lasted 2 months. Don't know what to do... maybe larger bin with two pumps?
@@nicholasdifabrizio1115 Have you tried a liberty omnivore? If remember right they are pretty expensive and may take some extra power. I saw one at a plumbing show chew up a piece of denim and discharge it.
Nope, would pass on this job,not interested
Definitely not my favorite thing to do. I have worked for these clients more than a decade and her father who has cancer had to move into the basement . I find myself doing all kinds of things I would rather not ,however I feel obligated to improve the quality of life for families if possible. Thanks for watching!!!!
I had an ejection pump that didn't require the 3/16" hole. It was the only one I've ever seen like this.
That is really strange, do you remember what brand it was?
