Sewage Pumps, Sewage Ejector Marietta Plumber RS Andrews
Depending upon the topographic diversity of your area, you often find it a difficult task to connect your sewer line with appropriate gradient to the city sewage line. This is where sewer ejectors or sewage pumps’ role come in to play. These pumps are basically designed to pump your residential waste to city sewage line that is at elevated level.
Most of our sewer lines in Marietta rely heavily on gravitational force to move the waste water out. While the unwritten standard norm for the proper speed of the movement of this waste water should be 2 Ft/Sec, when the main city sewer line is placed at higher gradient water either can’t move to its desired destination or the speed of movement is comparatively slow resulting in back ups. Sewage pumps come handy in such situations.
Types of Sewage Pumps
Sewage pumps are generally categorized in to two types. Lets us explore more information about them…
Simple sewage pump
As it name denotes, it simply circulates waste water from your drains through a discharge line without affecting the direction of flow. This also means, simple sewage pumps do not carry out tasks like grinding of chopping of solid waste present in your sewer line. These systems are used when there is negligible gradient difference between city sewer line and your residential sewer line.
Sewer Ejector
Also known as grinder pump, sewer ejector is designed for some advanced use. These pumps grind or chop up the solid waste and convert this solid waste to a form of slurry. Once the solid waste gets converted in to slurry, it becomes quite easy to pump it out to proposed destination. This is specifically used when the gradient difference is considerably higher between your residential sewer line and city sewer line. They are mostly used in commercial applications where the sewage is supposed to transfer quite a long distance.
Simple sewer ejectors run on one pump and one float. Whenever float gets raised by increased waste water beyond a specific level, it gets activated automatically. Once the tank gets emptied, pump gets deactivated automatically. You can also install second pump that can be used as back up or alternative sump pump.
Choosing Right Sewer Ejector
While choosing sewer ejector, judge your own requirements carefully. Consider the parameters like expected load on the system, level difference between two sewer lines, total length through which waste water has to be moved etc. A good sewage pump is made up of cast iron and it has inner resin coating to prevent rusting over the time. It also has encased motor which is constantly lubricated in oil to enhance its life span.
