USER GUIDE
Congratulations on your purchase of a Barnes
grinder pump system. With proper care and by
following a few simple guidelines your grinder
pump will give you many years of dependable
service.
Use and Care
The grinder pump station is designed to
handle routine, domestic sewage. Solid waste
materials should be thrown in the trash. While
your station is capable of accepting and
pumping a wide range of materials, regulatory
agencies advise that the following items should
not be introduced into any sewer either directly
or through a kitchen waste disposal:
• Glass
• Metal
• Diapers
• Socks, rags or cloth
• Plastic objects (e.g., toys, utensils, etc.)
• Sanitary napkins or tampons
In addition you must
NEVER
introduce into any
sewer:
• Explosives
• Flammable Material
• Lubricating Oil and/or Grease
• Strong Chemicals
• Gasoline
General Information
Your home wastewater disposal service is
part of a low pressure sewer system. The key
element in this system is the Barnes grinder
pump station. The basin collects all wastewater
from the house. The solids in the sewage are
then ground to a small size suitable for pumping
in the slurry.
The
grinder pump generates suffi cient pressure
to pump this slurry from your home to the
wastewater plant.
Power Failure
Your grinder pump cannot dispose of
wastewater or provide an alarm signal without
electrical power. If electrical power service is
interrupted, keep water usage to a minimum.
Warranty
Your grinder pump is furnished with a warranty
against defects in material or workmanship. A
properly completed
Start-Up/Warranty Registration form must be
on fi le at the Barnes factory in order to activate
your warranty. In addition your pump must be
installed in accordance with the installation
instructions.
If you have a claim under the provisions
of the warranty, contact your local Barnes
Distributor.
When contacting your representative for service,
please include your station serial number,
pump model number, and pump serial number.
