Types of Sewage Pumps

Sep 16, 2024

Sewage Ejector Pumps: Sewage ejector pumps are designed to handle solid waste in addition to wastewater. These pumps feature a robust impeller capable of grinding and passing solids, making them ideal for residential and light commercial applications. Sewage ejector pumps are commonly used in basements, laundry rooms, and other areas where wastewater containing solids needs to be pumped to a sewer line or septic tank.

Grinder Pumps: Grinder pumps are engineered to handle wastewater containing even larger solids. They are equipped with a grinding mechanism that breaks down solids into smaller particles, enabling the pump to transport the wastewater more efficiently. Grinder pumps are suitable for commercial and industrial applications where heavy-duty sewage handling is required.

Effluent Pumps: Effluent pumps are designed to handle relatively clear wastewater, such as gray water from washing machines, sinks, and showers. Although not specifically engineered for solids handling, they can typically manage small particles. Effluent pumps are often used in septic systems and other applications where wastewater needs to be transported to a drainage field or another treatment facility.
