How do I know when I need sewage grinder pumps?

Sewage grinder pumps are designed for residential are designed for areas where a gravity system is not practical. It allows for the use of smaller diameter pumps since the contents are ground up first.


How long do sewage grinder pumps last?

Completely depends on the size and application. The volume of debris required to grind and the materials it's comprised of will wear the grinder teeth and impeller. I would say it's safe to assume an average 1/2 HP residential sewage grinder pump running a single family home would run at least 5 to 10 years maintenance free. 20 years wouldn't be out of the possibility, but if you have a garbage disposal, frequently dispose of chemicals down the drain, or have a lot of usage I would say 20 years wouldn't be so likely, 10 would be more realistic.

Can toilet cause sump pump clogging?

Yes. If the sump pump is used as a sewage lift station, objects going into the toilet (especially forign objects) can cause the pump to clogg. These pumps are usually referred to as sewage ejector pumps. If the sump pump is only used for stormwater runoff, and foundation drains, then no, the toilet is a separate system and would not affect it. These are referred to as sump pumps. Except in unusual circumstances, such as when a toilet overflows, and drains into the basement floor drains for instance, these are totally separate.
