All pumps can be used for normal sewage duty where
extra capacity is required.
All of the pumps are of the recessed impeller type
that provides a clear volute passage for solids as no
solids pass through the impeller.
All of the pumps listed can be used to pump septic
tank effluent or ground sewage as used in some
pressure sewer systems.
WARNING:
These pumps are not approved
for, and should not be used in swimming
pools, fountains or marine areas.
A sewage pump is air locked if water traps air in the
pump and it cannot get out, thus preventing the pump
from operating.
In installations of this type a 1/8" hole should be
drilled in the discharge pipe below the check valve.
The check valve should be 12 to 18 inches above
pump discharge. Do not put check valve directly into
pump discharge opening.
All single phase pump motors are of the permanent
split capacitor type that do not require a start switch
or start relay.
Automatic reset overload switches are attached
directly to the motor windings.
Three phase pump motors are squirrel cage induction
type.
Pumps can be installed inside sealed basins with
proper venting for either simplex or duplex systems.
Pumps can be installed in a compartment of septic
tanks for pumping to pressure sewer mains, gravity
