workmanship under normal use and service, when properly used and maintained, 

for a period of 24 months from date of purchase (proof of purchase required) 

or from the date of start up when a Zoeller authorized start up report is on file 

with Zoeller Company. Parts that fail within the warranty period that inspections 

determine to be defective in material or workmanship will be repaired, replaced or 

remanufactured at Manufacturer's option, provided however, that by so doing we 

will not be obligated to replace an entire assembly, the entire mechanism or the 

complete unit.  No allowance will be made for shipping charges, damages, labor 

or other charges that may occur due to product failure, repair or replacement.

This warranty does not apply to and there shall be no warranty for any material 

or product that has been disassembled without prior approval of Manufacturer, 

subjected to misuse, misapplication, neglect, alteration, accident or uncontrollable 

act of nature; that has not been installed, operated or maintained in accordance 

with Manufacturer's installation instructions; that has been exposed to outside 

substances including but not limited to the following:  sand, gravel, cement, mud, 

tar, hydrocarbons, hydrocarbon derivatives (oil, gasoline, solvents, etc.), or other 

abrasive or corrosive substances, wash towels or feminine sanitary products, 

1.  Zoeller Progressing Cavity Grinder Pumps are designed for grinding 

and pumping sanitary sewage from submersible lift stations.  The 

pump is intended to grind and pump reasonable quantities of items 

normally found in sanitary sewage applications.

2.  Zoeller 7020 and 7021 Progressing Cavity Grinder Pumps can be 

installed in new applications or as a replacement for another 

grinder pump of like size and capacity. 

3.  The 7020 and 7021 can be installed in a Prepackaged Job Ready 

System or may be used in a Field Assembled basin package. Page 

5 shows a couple of the Prepackaged Systems. Field Assembled 

Systems are discussed on page 3.

4.  Zoeller 7020 and 7021 Grinder Pumps can be retrofitted to existing 

positive displacement pump installations.

APPLICATIONS

PREINSTALLATION CHECKLIST

1. 

Inspect your progressing cavity grinder pump

. If the unit has been damaged 

in shipment, contact your dealer before installing. 

Do Not

 remove the 

test plugs in the cover or the motor housing.

2. 

Carefully read all literature

 to familiarize yourself with details regarding 

installation and use. Retain materials for future reference.

1. 

Make sure pump connection contains a ground terminal.

 The power cord 

on all Zoeller Progressing Cavity Grinder Pumps contains a green 

conductor for grounding to help protect you against the possibility of 

electric shock.

2

Make certain the electrical service is within reach of the power supply cord.

3.

 

Make sure any panels and branch circuits are equipped

 

with proper size fuses 

and circuit breakers. An independent power circuit is recommended, 

sized according to the National Electrical Code, for the current shown 

on the grinder pump nameplate.

4.

 

For your protection, always disconnect the power source to the grinder 
pump before handling.

 

All grinder pumps must be properly grounded 

and wired in accordance with the “National Electrical Codes” and all 

local codes and ordinances.

5. Installation of electrical hardware and checking of control panels 

and circuits should be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.

6.  Risk of electrical shock - These pumps have not been investigated for 

use in swimming pool areas.

7. 

 

Prop65 Warning for California residents: 

 

: Cancer and  Reproductive Harm- 

        www.P65Warning.ca.gov.

1. 

Make sure the power source is capable of handling the electrical 

requirements of the grinder pump, as indicated on the nameplate.

2.

 A disconnect switch should be installed in the circuit bringing electrical 

power to the pump.

3.  The progressing cavity grinder pumps are operated by variable level 

float control switches. It is the responsibility of the installing party to 

see that float control switches will not hang up on the grinder pump 

or other pit peculiarities and are secured so that the grinder pump 

will shut off. It is recommended to use rigid pipe and fittings and the 

pit be at least 24" in diameter for simplex systems and 36" or larger in 

diameter for duplex systems.

4.  Grinder installations should be checked yearly for debris and/or build 

up which may interfere with the “ON” or “OFF” positions of variable 

level float control switches. Repair and service, other than cutter 

assembly maintenance, should be performed by a Zoeller Authorized 

Service & Warranty Center or Customer Care Center.

5. Maximum operating temperature must not exceed 130 °F (54 °C).

6. 

Do not operate an unsubmerged progressing cavity pump

. Dry pump 

operation may damage the hydraulic stator due to lack of lubrication. 

Do not run dry. 

7.

 

To ensure proper pump operation, a swing or flapper style check valve 

must be installed in the pump discharge line. A faulty or non-functional 

check valve when combined with a pressure sewer may prevent the pump 

from starting.

Do not attempt to turn the cutter blades 

located on bottom of the unit with fingers. 

Use a wrench 

when checking or removing the cutter.

CAUTION

SEE BELOW FOR

LIST OF CAUTIONS

SEE BELOW FOR

LIST OF WARNINGS

 Progressing cavity grinder pumps are designed for 

pressure sewer applications. A UL listed and CSA certified pressure relief 

valve must be installed in the system to prevent excessive pressure buildup.

In instances where property damages are incurred as a result of an alleged product failure, the property 

owner must retain possession of the product for investigation purpose.
