1. INTRODUCTION
The PowerSewer® by Franklin Electric is a grinder pump pressure sewer
system designed for residential and commercial applications. The
following information is about installing the PowerSewer® to be used
as a complete system. The system includes a large-capacity rotomolded
polyethylene collection tank, fiberglass cover, specially designed
grinder pump, pump quick disconnect system, float tree assembly,
control panel, and flexible discharge pipe connector.
The grinder pump discharges wastewater from the property to a force
main, gravity main, or remote treatment facility. The PowerSewer®
does not rely on slopes since the PowerSewer® grinder pump supplies
the energy that moves the liquid. The wastewater is pumped from the
collection tank through small-diameter service lateral piping, which is
buried in a shallow, narrow trench that follows the contour of the land.
1.1 Product Description
A ball check valve prevents backflow into the collection tank from the
service lateral or force main. It is recommended that a redundant check
valve and corporation stop valve be installed at the connection to a
force main for added protection from backflows.
If a malfunction were to occur, the PowerSewer® will alarm to alert the user
so that a service provider can be contacted to remedy the alarm situation.
