What is a low pressure sewer system?
Low pressure sewer systems are ones in which residential sewage is pumped via a grinder pump or effluent pump through small diameter pipes (1-1/2" to 4"). The low pressure system discharges into a major lift station or directly to the treatment plant. Pumps are available in "package designs" which includes the pump, panel and fiberglass basins as illustrated below. Why do engineers design a low pressure sewer?
Engineers design low pressure sewer projects for areas that need central sewers where it is too costly to install a gravity system. These areas include rocky ground, near lakes, hilly areas and other non favorable gravity sewer areas. A gravity sewer is a design in which larger pipes are used to transport the sewage to a major lift station or directly to the treatment plant.Why should you consider FE Myers grinder pumps for your system?
