Good, straightforward, constructive attitude - really appreciated. Attention to detail - excellent. You made this process easy to understand and explained it well. To viewers; Zoeller is a great company with high quality equipment. If installed properly you can't go wrong. If installed inside structure be sure to get an alarm in case pump stops working or it's malfunctioning and you'll have to either tie into existing sewer vent or install new line through roof.
Very helpful and informative. I don’t ever install these pumps and I have a job coming up where I will need to install one. So thank you very much for the tips and tricks for installing them
Can this be installed with the service valve/check valve/ basin cover buried just below the ground? Like if you didn’t want a lot of pipes to show and maybe used a few ground boxes?
Chipping hammer looks like a useful tool. Dug up the entire septic by hand put in my own sewage ejector a Rubbermaid trash can with the Everbilt Home Depot pump. It's down in the rusted out 500 gallon tank that had the original pump. I am going to fashion a lid over it all and turn it into a table.
Excellent presentation! Your insight has given me the information I need to install a similar system on a new build, guest house in lake havasu city Arizona
Thank you for this video, was wondering where the Final destination is being tied into? I am looking into this exact set up but we will be tying it into a main sewer line. Is this possible? All the other things I’m reading shows sump pumps going into a septic tank.
@@How2Plumb awesome, we’re winging it so super lucky to come across this video! Don’t mean to over step but would you know if the Everbilt 1/2 HP sewer pump would work? From pump to sewer line is about 40’ its slightly uphill but not by a lot. Fixtures are the same in your video 1 sink shower and toilet. I called Everbilt and left message but not sure if you’re familiar with this brand or would know of the bat it’s not the right type
It's called "weep hole" to avoid air-lock between check valve and sump pump, another tip, when you drill it try to do it on 45 degree facing down (bottom of basin) to avoid some weird noise. If it's straight or pointing up, when servicing you can get splashed or "sprinkled", ha.
Thank you for the great video! I have a quick question: I need a pump for an outdoor small room with a toilet and sink. Would the pump you used in the video be suitable for this purpose? Also, could you please share the model number of the pump? Thanks in advance!
I have a 1/2 horse everbilt sewage pump to install. Can i come UP out of the pump then 2" sweeps down 3 FEET then uphill rizing 6 feet up to a septic tank aprox 60 feet away ?? Great video btw ! . Thanks carl olson
Because there was not enough slope to get from the New bathroom to the main sewer line. Therefore we had to install a sewage ejection system with that basin and from the basin it pumps into the main sewer line because this cannot be done by gravity.
I'm completing a very similar system. Someone told me I couldn't use a studor or mechanical vent because of the negative pressure? I see you used one. Do you have any comments or advice? Thanks. I want to use one by the way
Have you ever needed to bury one of these a lot farther below grade? I am installing an outdoor kitchen island sink, and due to needing 12" distance between the foot vent and drain pipe the top of the ejector basin will be 2 feet below grade. I'm not sure how to make it somewhat accessible for maintenance.
That is over 135 degrees of turn even though it's the inlet to a sump basin a 3" san tee at the toilet outlet would have been a good idea as a clean out.
Thanks for the video. Quick question, how important is it for the sewer coming into the sump to be level for the bushing to seal? Just curious because I just paid a plumber nearly 30k for a partial replacement and re-route around and the fitting going into the sump is at probably a 22 degree angle and leaks like crazy. I'm asking because he's coming back out to add liquid rubber around it, but I feel like the sump or pump needs to be modified to get the line coming in to be straight and level. Your thoughts?
Im having issue with my sewage pump keeps tripping th gfci. Evrything was installed underground even the cover of the pump is covered with dirt. It was running fine for 2years but now having some issues tripping. Where are you located?
I am building a house soon and will be living in a camper while building. I need a way to pump sewage about 70 ft to my septic. A smaller version of this is what in considering.
Would anybody use one of these to drain water in a landscaping setting? We bought a house that has one of these in the ground and the old homeowner claims it was connected into the gutter system. Thanks for the info.
Hello, wow, this looks very close to what I am currently working on.. Just a couple questions: Do you have any clogging/backup problems with toilet solids, assuming you are using a 2 inch discharge pipe and you are not using the shark grinder pump system? What distance are you pushing ( my project is 75 feet) from the sewage pump/sump to your 3-4 inch line servicing the house?
The AAV should be replaced with an actual vent pipe. As water and waste enter the basin, pressure will begin to increase. With no vent, you will likely start hearing a gurgling sound when you flush the toilet...and you will defintely start to smell sewer gases. Of course the basin will eventually empty, with a bit of a struggle given the internal pressure. Maybe I'm wrong🤔🤔
Air admittance valves are not rated to vent sump pumps, unless of course the manufacturer okayed it for this situation. That could have been vented to atmosphere easily with a couple downturned 90's. I liked the video otherwise though.
I wouldn't say they "didn't know how" and "couldn't figure out" more like as installers they do not take the liability and time to also install the plumbing which I'm assuming was well written in their price. edit. PS: good work.
You plumbers are so good. That’s exactly what I need for my little outside house I want to add a toilet, sink and shower.

Sometimes plumbing is like an art. Amazing how you made that all come together in such a small space.

Finally a good video on how to install
Great video, can I install that system outside in NY. How do I prevent it from freezing in the winter?
This is what I want to know
Can this be installed with the service valve/check valve/ basin cover buried just below the ground? Like if you didn’t want a lot of pipes to show and maybe used a few ground boxes?
What did you do? Our old one had an inline check valve located on the pipe going up from the pump
Very, very nice work. Excellent video, easy to see and understand the installation process. Thank you.
Can this be done in colder climates? I’m in the Pocono mountains north of Philadlephia.
Thanks & great video!
I have the same question! Our freeze line is 18-24 inches below the surface of the soil. All pipes must be at least 18" below the surface.
Chipping hammer looks like a useful tool. Dug up the entire septic by hand put in my own sewage ejector a Rubbermaid trash can with the Everbilt Home Depot pump. It's down in the rusted out 500 gallon tank that had the original pump. I am going to fashion a lid over it all and turn it into a table.
Excellent presentation! Your insight has given me the information I need to install a similar system on a new build, guest house in lake havasu city Arizona
That is a super video. What type of bulkhead fitting did you use so that the gasket was flush with the curvature of the tank? Many thanks
2:11, amazing that those copper pipes under ground held up without freezing , this must a warm weather climate ?
Thank you for this video, was wondering where the Final destination is being tied into? I am looking into this exact set up but we will be tying it into a main sewer line. Is this possible? All the other things I’m reading shows sump pumps going into a septic tank.
Yes going into the main sewer line is totally fine that is exactly what I’m doing as well.

@@How2Plumb how far can the waste be pushed ? Going to use this for an ADU My main sewer is about 80 will the pump be able to get it that far?
6:07, Love that here's our maple tree plant, not something else ( Marijauna ) 😍😍😍😍
Dude you’re awesome. This video was great. Couldn’t find much about venting these outside
Hey thanks for the vid. How would you go about insulating this for winter freeze? Is the unit insulate itself?
Great instructions. Just one question, why did you put 3/16 hole in discharge pipe?
It's called "weep hole" to avoid air-lock between check valve and sump pump, another tip, when you drill it try to do it on 45 degree facing down (bottom of basin) to avoid some weird noise. If it's straight or pointing up, when servicing you can get splashed or "sprinkled", ha.
Nice work. Thanks for taking the time and effort to film and share.
How this pump works under low temperature?? Does it need any insulation? I’m plan on installing a similar system on my house in New Jersey.
Thanks
Thank you for the great video! I have a quick question: I need a pump for an outdoor small room with a toilet and sink. Would the pump you used in the video be suitable for this purpose? Also, could you please share the model number of the pump? Thanks in advance!
Thank you! Is it ok if the system isn't totally buried. Should the exposed part have a cover to protect it from the sun?
Hi did your 2 in line go into a septic tank and what was the 3/16 hole for
I want to renovate a detached garage to living space. What's the difference in sewer ejector system and septic grinder?
Can that sistem drain 15 ft uphill? And how far?. Thanks
I wanted to know if it matters what height the top of the basin should be in relation to the horizontal line which leads to the sewar
I have a 1/2 horse everbilt sewage pump to install.
Can i come UP out of the pump then 2" sweeps down 3 FEET then uphill rizing 6 feet up to a septic tank aprox 60 feet away ??
Great video btw ! .
Thanks carl olson
So is freezing any issue?
If you want this in the basement is there an above floor option?
Thanks for this video . I just recently started working on pumps myself
I'm confused. It looks like the gravity system was lower than the pipes coming out of that garage. What was the need for a pump?
Because there was not enough slope to get from the New bathroom to the main sewer line. Therefore we had to install a sewage ejection system with that basin and from the basin it pumps into the main sewer line because this cannot be done by gravity.
thanks for the video, definitely helped me see this is a simple enough task.
I'm completing a very similar system. Someone told me I couldn't use a studor or mechanical vent because of the negative pressure? I see you used one. Do you have any comments or advice? Thanks. I want to use one by the way

Side discharge like Liberty pumps makes.
Uh...that's a Maple Plant. You're funny and you get the job done!
Is this for a bathroom on a 1st floor? Not a basement?
Very good information at low prices
That is over 135 degrees of turn even though it's the inlet to a sump basin a 3" san tee at the toilet outlet would have been a good idea as a clean out.
Is it safe to use ABS with a sump pump? I thought ABS was not pressure rated??
Yes 100% safe to use abs with sump
Great information video thank you ! I need to have something like this installed for my shed. I'm in Atlanta GA.. who can I call?
Had a question for you , did you put your electrical cords into conduit ?
Fun to watch. Great info👍👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Can you go to El Paso and help my fathers plumbing in his old house? He has a similar situation.
Esa pump trabaja con un drenaje de 3” pulgadas cual? Es el número de serie o código de la pump I need one pump
Im having issue with my sewage pump keeps tripping th gfci. Evrything was installed underground even the cover of the pump is covered with dirt. It was running fine for 2years but now having some issues tripping. Where are you located?
thank you for the video it was very informative.
I am building a house soon and will be living in a camper while building. I need a way to pump sewage about 70 ft to my septic. A smaller version of this is what in considering.
I suggest removing the ball valve handle. So that someone does not close it by mistake
Damn kids 😔
How far is the pump going to eject the stuff to get to the main sewer line ?
Most excellent presentation..
Would anybody use one of these to drain water in a landscaping setting? We bought a house that has one of these in the ground and the old homeowner claims it was connected into the gutter system. Thanks for the info.
Are there any regulations in your area or how far water supply pipes should be from sewer pipes
Negative
Excellent job very clean
great job on the project and video
Why ABS pipe? Is it better than PVC?
Nope, just cheaper
PVC is strong and can handle more pressure than ABS.
Thank you sir. Good information.
Well done video- very helpful
good videos thank you. but I heard lot of I and we and I Didn't see you do any work? just saying.

Danny, sorry to confuse you. Mine, is practically the same, just 35 feet longer so I should be fine with an ejector system. Thanks for the video.
you saved me 2 grand with this info
Thank you for the help sir!
Great video. Thank you.
Very informational!! 👍👍
great. very informative. thankyou
Well done 👍
Thanks much... good job
Will this pump catch toilet paper and heavy waste like that?
It grinds it up with the macerating pump or at least it should
Also you are not supposed to put a studor mechanical vent on and ejector system it causes an air lock in the basin
The AAV should be replaced with an actual vent pipe. As water and waste enter the basin, pressure will begin to increase. With no vent, you will likely start hearing a gurgling sound when you flush the toilet...and you will defintely start to smell sewer gases. Of course the basin will eventually empty, with a bit of a struggle given the internal pressure. Maybe I'm wrong🤔🤔

your sewer line is lower than the fixture why would you need a pomp
Because the main sewer line is higher. This new line runs about 50 feet and we did not have the proper slope.
@@How2Plumb so all that sewage is going to be either staying in that 50ft or back flowing? would that pass?
I wouldn't say they "didn't know how" and "couldn't figure out" more like as installers they do not take the liability and time to also install the plumbing which I'm assuming was well written in their price.
edit. PS: good work.
.. they are not real plumbers in other words
Thank you
cast iron would of been better.
Cast iron ????
👍👍👍
Easy Peasy
Good Sh*t 👍🏼
Maple.....? huh 🤔 LoL....sureeee
Sometimes plumbing is like an art. Amazing how you made that all come together in such a small space.
Thanks for the compliment!
Is the bathroom in side in the basement or on the ground floor? Why can’t it be gravity drained?
