8 Things Sewage Pump Owners NEED to Know

Learn the top 8 tips and tricks for your septic pumping system!
1. Using a test gauge to read pressure at startup will allow you more insight when something goes wrong. (check for faulty check valve, pump, leaks, etc.) This also allows you to verify the pump is operating as it should during the initial installation using the pump curve. Check them out on our website: www.rcworst.co...
2. Most pumps include 2 nameplates, take one and stick inside your control or breaker panel to easily remember model number and date of manufacture for warranty and repair
3. Eventually, you will need to replace your pump, when that day comes make sure you buy a pump that has an easy warranty process if you are a do-it yourselfer. An easy to process warranty means you won’t have to spend loads of time chasing down a replacement if something should happen. (I see this all the time)
4. If I had to pick one quality that seems to separate quality pumps from low quality seems to be the upper bearing. So if you want to only remember one thing to look for without checking every option and feature then pay attention to the upper bearing. If a bushing is used that is an indication of a cheaper motor that will likely not last as long as one with an upper ball bearing construction.
5. You cannot purchase a quality professional grade pump from a big box store such as Home Depot or Lowes or even Ace, most professional grade pumps need to be purchased from a distributor. Most distributors sell pumps to the public but most people don’t know that. The easy way to get professional grade pumps is to shop with rcworst.com where we sell at competitive prices direct to the public and all our prices and stock levels are shown online.
6. Be proactive with ownership of your system, ask questions and learn how it works, know who you are going to call when things are not working as they should ahead of time. Knowing your system inside and out will help you save money and stay away from “Emergency Situations”.
7. Watch what you flush! Don't put any waste that didn't come out of your body or toilet paper down the toilet.
8. Know how to turn your pump on manually.
