When you lose power your done cant use toilet. More parts to wear and break down. Just another to sell along with failure.

There are occasions I can smell it. What do you think the problem could be? Unfortunately it is by our porch swing and I never know when the odor is going to appear. Can the lid be turned so that the vent is away from the porch?

Hi Barbara, Can you send a photo to [e-mail] for me? Also, do you know what size tank or model station you have? Odors could develop depending on your water usage -- if you aren't using a lot of water, the pump isn't turning on frequently, therefore the water in the tank sits and can develop odors. You could fill up and empty the bath tub to get fresh water through the tank. Also, if the tank was oversized and the pump isn't turning on as frequently as we like it to, the water can get stagnant and odor can develop.

Hi @@barbarawall6349 - I'm sorry I didn't get back to you last week. I sent you an email this morning (Monday).

Can the contents of grinder pump be smelled? Is there an occasional odor?

[@EONESewerSystems]

Hi Barbara, The grinder pump station should not emit any odors. The pump turns on/off several times daily (depending on your water usage), so the contents are always "fresh." Wastewater that sits for a long period develops odors. If you were leaving your house for a few days/weeks, E/One recommends running clean water (fill & empty the bathtub) through the system to flush out wastewater. Please email me at [e-mail] if I can answer any more questions. - thanks, Sharon

Well, it does leak odors. It will over flow on the ground as well. When it fails. The double pole beaker strips, no alarm. Out of 24 houses on my road. 24 have failed in 9 yrs. Some are on their third pump. No place to get replacement. No temporary till repair. Not easy to repair, and not easy to find someone to repair. A disaster waiting to happen.
