Grinder Pump System
Grinder Pumps and Sewage Pumps
It is any man’s dream to own a beautiful house with all the modern facilities in place. But, many a times, a small negligence in looking into the minute details like installing proper garbage disposal system and sewage lines during the construction will not only put the building owner into hardship, it also results in polluting the surrounding.
As a responsible citizen, it is one’s duty to ensure hygiene and cleanliness of the surrounding and control pollution of environment. As I say this, installing Grinder Pumps and Sewage Pumps helps you in not only having an effective garbage disposal system in place but also save our environment from pollutants that is let out from our homes.
If not done yet, grinder pump installation can also be taken up as part of one’s home improvement plans. By using a Grinder Pump, you will be letting only the waste water from you home that is free from the solids and sludge. A smart planning in remodelling the sewage lines is all it takes to help have a proper sewage system in place.
As we talk of conserving water, most cities in the world encourage use of treated water for non-potable use like gardening, cleaning etc. Thus the first level if water treatment is done at your homes when you install a grinder pump.
So, let’s know more about a Grinder Pump and how it works
A grinder pump, as the name suggests, simply grinds up wastewater from household appliances, toilets and shower. When you want to make use of the grinder pump, a collection tank is very important. When the grinder pump starts running, the waste water from your house is let into the collection tank. The grinder pump can be installed either in the basement of a house/building or in the open yard.
Once the waste water from your house reaches a particular level in the collection tank, the grinder pump runs automatically and starts grinding the waste. Under this process, only the waste water is let out into the public sewerage line.
Installing a grinder pump is not a Herculean task. But you have to take care to see that the collection tank is placed deep into the ground to avoid the odour and stench emanating from it.
You need a professional plumber to carry out quality plumbing work with regard to connecting the inlets and outlets from the sewer lines of your home to the collection tank and in turn to public sewerage system. You will be happy to note that grinder pumps require no regular maintenance. However, one has to ensure that no solid wastes are dumped into it. As a common habit, we usually flush sanitary napkins, papers, diapers and tissues etc., in the toilets. This should be strictly avoided as it can lead to blockages like any general sewage line and there could be a reverse flow of water into your bathrooms and wash basins.
Grinder pumps are a boon for building owners who have bathrooms in their basements. Buildings with basement bathrooms often face the problem of clogged drains with the sewage lines finding it difficult to carry the waste water to the public sewer system.
You will be surprised to know how you can keep away the stench from the grinder pump if you are out of house for a long time or on a vacation. All you have to do is empty the waste water from the collection tank and fill it with clean water. Once the water reaches a certain level, the grinder pump starts working until the tank is empty and stops on its own. This process will also clean the pump and the small quantity of fresh water in it keeps away the odour.
Now, let’s talk about the benefits of a Sewage Pump
Houses and buildings constructed in an elevated area or a hilly region should take extra care in installing their sanitation systems and sewage lines. Connecting the sewage lines to the main public sewer lines is not an easy task in such areas. In these areas, building owners will have to install a sewage pump to let out the waste water to the main sewer line in the locality.
Sewage pumps separate solids and liquids and moves them to the sewer lines. How is a sewage pump installed? A sewage pump is generally placed in a septic tank which is often dug in the lowest point of the terrain.
What does the sewage pump actually do? Similar to the grinder pump, the sewage pump separates the solids and liquids from the septic tank. Along with separating the t liquid, it also pumps out and the solids. There are pumps with higher capacity which handles heavy solids and is generally known as commercial pump.
Sewage system management is one of the tough tasks faced by the respective civic authorities. The municipality workers are often faced with handling this problem in large residential colonies who take little care not to block the drain by flushing solid wastes.
It is a bigger challenge for them to transport waste water from hilly areas. Here, sewage lift stations are made use of to pump the wastewater from elevated regions thus enabling better management of sewage systems.
The sewage lift station helps in diverting the waste water into treatment plants where the waste water is treated at three different levels. The government is contemplating supply of treated water to homes for a nominal cost for non-potable use. Special incentives will be given to residents who come forward to avail treated water and also install grinder pumps in their homes.
