Sewage and Effluent Pumps

Sewage Pumps:

Sewage pumps are robust and capable of moving not only water but also waste containing solids and debris. They come in different types, including ejector pumps, which are suitable for greywater and limited solid sewage, and grinder pumps, which can handle raw sewage with solids larger than ¾-inch by grinding it into a slurry for easy transport. These pumps are typically installed in buildings with bathrooms below the main sewer line, such as basements, to pump waste upwards and out of the property. Sewage pumps are built from heavy-duty materials to withstand tough environments and require professional installation and occasional maintenance.

Effluent Pumps:

Effluent pumps are designed to handle greywater, which contains fewer solids than sewage. They are suitable for moving water with limited solids of 1/2" in diameter or less, often from a septic tank to a leach field. These pumps are available in different types, including high head effluent pumps for pumping to significant heights and sump effluent pumps for moving limited solids a short elevation. Effluent pumps are generally lighter duty than sewage pumps and may have a non-clog impeller to handle smaller solids.
