Sewage + Trash Pumps

Sewage + Trash Pumps

Sewage pumps are known to do the dirty work in messy jobs. These ruggedly made pumps handle tasks that others can’t and do it extremely well. Sewage pumps are built to handle solids, which is something a traditional sump pump cannot do. These workhorses are built with cast iron and stainless steel materials and submersible designs to withstand their environments and last for years. Though sewage pumps are not designed to move huge volumes at a time, they have more torque and power to handle solids and debris. These units can be used for applications including sewage pumping stations, septic tanks, dirty water drainage, floods, and emergencies. Grinder pumps are similar to sewage models but feature metal blades that shred material to further reduce clogging which could lead to expensive repairs. They are generally better suited for commercial applications rather than residential homes.

Pumps in this category feature port sizes ranging from 1.25in. to 12in., motors up to 20 HP, and flow rates exceeding 130,000 GPH. Voltages also vary from 115 Volts to 460 Volts. In addition to heavy-duty housings, sewage pumps include features such as cast iron and urethane rubber-coated impellers, stainless steel components, and silicon carbide seals. When shopping for a sewage pump, also look for convenience features such as piggyback tethered switches that activate automatically and thermal overload protection for safety.
