Very helpful, on point discussion

Do any of you pros know if there is a way to know if sewage pumps need replacing? What, if anything, should I listen for?

I have a 32 lot trailer park i recently purchased and had a oxidation pong. I have a well that has 2 pumps that pumps waste to the first pond. No jeans but wipes, female condoms, small rags, small toys etc. 10 feet up 100 ft lateral run. What pump?

The wet wipe sticks to the blade part. No matter who i asked, none of the pumps can't solve the problem. Is this true?

You had me at 4x more expensive.

Is hair a problem?

Good info Thanks

Sir how to order the mersible with cruser

which grinder pump is best for rental business?

I LOVE THAT I CAN FLUSH MY OLD PAIRS OF JEANS WITH ONE OF THESE! THANK YOU!

Have zero experience with this apparatus and just acquired a place that has one. This was very helpful. Thank you!

This video didn't mention the delayed-grinder pump. I used to have an issue with two of my girls. They produce horse-size bowel movements (like their mother) to the point that even commercial toilets have a hard time handling them in one flush. I ended up installing an oversized professional "delayed-grinder pump" which simply takes an extra 5-10 seconds grinding before full pump mode kicks in. No matter what is in their bowel movement (unchewed peanuts, corn kernnals, apple seeds, etc) this extra grinding feature has proved invaluable. If this ever fails, I will install an over-sized garbage disposal they will have to manually turn on prior to a flush and then use a sewage pump to relocate their waste to the city.

I would use a hand pump before using a Zollar.... Wasn't always an issue, what ever Zollar did to cheapen their product they need to stop....

So, I’m planning a bathroom install in my basement and have to jackhammer the floor and and install an ejector pit with a pump. I get what you’re saying about the differences between these pumps and we can easily control what fets flushed (i.e. no flushable wipes) but one thing I’m concerned with… We have two teenage boys and the solid waste they both produce is other-worldly. One makes nearly baseball-size solid balls and the other makes torpedos that are at least a foot long. And probably 3” in diameter. Both of them regularly clog the toilet. I fear that the sewage pump may not be able to break these freakishly oversized things down enough to safely pass through the 2” line. Does the standard sewage pump do any “grinding” at all?

what you use in the situation of having someone in the household that is constantly clogging toilet with human waste? Short of getting them to eat more fiber

Thanks for this. Im pumping uphill approx 600ft. My gridner pump went out and i replaced with sewage pump it doesnt like the head. Back to the grinder didnt realize there was a difference thank you.

My Little Giant sewage pump broke after ONE year and Franklin Electric failed to send a replacement. This kind of company should disappear in the American market.

I need to pump about 150ft in legth to a septic tank, which sits about 60ft higher than my cabin. Do you think a sewage pump would be up to the task? Id prefer to not use a grinder pump based on what youve said in this video. Thanks!

Thanks dude, to have me save some money 👍

Excellent information. I’m retired Master Plumber with 40 years of experience. Great to inform general public of the process these pumps perform and the cost factors.

I work for an elderly housing complex where I currently have a duplex pump sewer lift station. We constantly have things getting flushed that shouldn't be & ending up with clogged, failing pumps. I've been considering switching to grinder pumps but, after seeing this it would seem that they might mean even more problematic. Either way the lead time for ordering/ receiving replacements is 6-8 weeks. Unacceptable as I'm paying to have my lift station pumped out by truck every day now. No matter how I caution tenants, things like disposable wipes, etc are making life & my job a challenge to say the least. Anybody got any advice?

Grinder pumps are great if you have to pump it up and out maybe several hundred feet . Then discharging underwater in the middle of the river. This way your system is discrete and no one needs to know. Plus the flow of the river pretty well takes care of everything and that leaves no telltale signs . Plus in my situation there’s a huge cattle farm down stream so the river is getting shit in all day anyway. 🤣

lower level of sewer water on pump side ?

How far will that pump, pump the sewage? Good video, thank you for the info.

Thank you for the info and the time and effort you took to make this video. I know we're not solving world hunger here, but to figure out a few things before attempting a repair helps to save time, money, and water.

Working on finishing my basement and this video 100% gave me the answer that i needed on which pump to go with. Thank you sir.

Nice video!

So what do you do when you just have a sewage pump and you ate too much cornflakes and now it's clogged?

GREAT EXPLANATION MAN!

Useful information thank you

I need to have sewage travel about 200 ft horizontally with a slight downhill slope. Can I get away with a sewage pump

Thanks in a million.Great content.

Grinder pumps create an emulsion or suspension of fine particulates and is especially a problem for onsite wastewater systems. They should not be used in onsite disposal systems.

Great explanation. Thanks.

So what about tampons and condoms? Which is the better pump? I have an Airbnb short-term vacation rental and people put those items in my camper toilet. The RV is permanently parked 67 feet downhill (3-foot grade?) from the clean-out.

👍

👍

I have a grease trap pretty big tank but, it is used for kitchen and bathroom and I need to put in a pump that would pump to my large septic tank. suggestion?

Hi Steve

An exceptional job with giving information. Thank you. I am looking for a sewage pump right now.

_grind it up into a slurry_ 🤢

Rags and towel ???

Rags and towels

which will be better for a basement full bathroom setup . standard residential property. was initially leaning towards the grinder

How long does a grinder pump last? Just wondering since it hasn't been long since we installed our last one and its showing a warning light now.

You show the best information I never had before, thank you so much.
