Grinder Pump Repair

MDI offers emergency and non-emergency grinder pump repair and replacement. A Grinder Pump is a wastewater pumping device, often associated with sewage and septic pump applications. Wastewater usually from fixtures, toilets, kitchen sinks, bathtubs, washing machines, etc. flows through the sewer pipes into the grinder pump’s holding tank. Once the wastewater inside the tank reaches a specific level, the pump will turn on, grind the waste into a fine slurry, and pump it to the central sewer system or septic tank. Grinder Pumps can be installed in the basement or in the yard. A grinder pump is different from a sump pump or effluent pump.

There are two types of grinder pumps, semi-positive displacement and centrifugal. Grinder pumps are a type of submersible sewage (septic) pump that has cutting teeth incorporated onto the impeller to grind the sewage for pressure sewer applications. The discharge piping can be smaller since the wastewater is ground up to a liquid, high head conditions are a specific use for this design of pump.

Features

Grinder Pumps have grinding teeth on the inlet of the impeller, submersible motor.

Applications

Grinder Pumps are mostly used for residential pressure sewer systems. Usually where high head conditions exist for sewage.

Recommended Media

Grinder Pumps usually pump sewage and other wastewater products.

Advantages

Grinder Pumps allow smaller diameter sewage discharge piping than typical gravity drain sewers. Also, the sewer lines can follow the contour of the land since they don’t have to continuously drain to the collection point.
