Sewage systems use gravity to move solids and liquids up and down the sewage line. However, in some situations, you may not be able to put a plumbing device uphill from a sewage system. In such cases, a sewage pump becomes indispensable to move effluents from one location to another.
Most sewage pumps are submersible pumps located at the bottom of a receptacle or basin, such as a septic tank. The pump intake is located as close to the floor of the septic tank as possible. These pumps are designed to move wastewater from low-level areas to a sewer main. It pumps out waste materials, including water, solids, and sludge, to keep homes clean and odor-free.
How do sewage pumps work?
Showers and toilets in homes create wastewater which gets flushed down into a sewage pit. The sewage float switch gets triggered when the water level goes high. The switch turns on the motor-powered sewage pump, which then sucks out the wastewater and pushes it up through the pipes for discharge into the main sewer lines. The sewer lines go into a central water treatment facility where the wastewater is treated.
Residential sewage pumps are capable of handling solids up to 2 inches in diameter. However, commercial sewage pumps may be able to handle even larger items.
